FESTA
Creating a methodology for field operational tests - FESTA
Field Operational Tests (FOT) consist of a comprehensive programme of research to assess the impacts of ICT systems on driver behaviour, both in terms of individual (safety) benefits and larger scale socio-economic benefits. The design and implementation of these FOTs must be carefully thought out to include the best possible result. FESTA aims to help this process by facilitating the coordination of expert knowledge in order to create a handbook of best practice for FOT implementation.
Objectives
- Facilitate the stakeholders' expertise and experience to provide a best practice handbook for the design and implementation of FOTs
- Provide additional guidance on how these activities should be undertaken and reported
- Involve major stakeholders (automotive industries, equipment suppliers, telecoms, academic institutions) to provide a common vision to the work
Duration and Funding November 2007 - April 2008, funding through the EC Directorate General Information Society & Media
