FOT-Net 3rd International Workshop

FOT-Net has been established by the European Commission to network Field Operational Tests (FOTs) organisers in one strategic networking platform in order to address common issues related to the practical organisation, set up and follow-up of FOTs results.

There is a need for the different regions (Asia, US and Europe) to cooperate on common FOTs issues, such as data handling and sharing, methods and deployment. With successful events organised at the ITS Congresses in New York and Stockholm, FOT-Net has established an international network of FOT organisers, aiming to tackle common working issues and foster cross-region cooperation.

A series of Round Tables was organised at FOT-Net’s Third International Workshop addressing FOT issues that have been identified as of high priority such as data sharing, impact assessment and scaling up, events and incident definition, legal issues and stakeholders analysis. An international panel of FOT experts was invited to debate in each round table. Other experts and stakeholders were welcome to participate to the round tables as observers.  During the afternoon session, highlights from the round tables were presented and discussion was open to the general FOT community.

General objectives of this workshop included:

- Reinforce the global FOT network in order to exchange knowledge, best practices and foster cooperation for FOT activities

- Increase the cooperation between FOT activities and their stakeholders leading to faster and effective take up of Intelligent Transport Systems and Services

More specifically the expected outcome of the workshop was the production of recommendations that would contribute to a common roll-out plan to support the coherent development and implementation of FOTs at European and International level.
