FOT-Net 4th International Workshop, Orlando, 16 October 2011

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 (Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America) 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, Stockholm and Busan, 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 were organised at FOT-Net’s Fourth International Workshop, in Orland on 16 OCtober 2011, addressing FOT issues that have been identified as of high priority such as issues related to cooperative systems FOTs, data sharing, tools for FOTs and actions linked to deployment. An international panel of FOT experts was invited to debate in each round table.

General objectives of this workshop included:

• Reinforce the global FOT network in order to exchange knowledge, best practices and foster cooperation for FOT activities.
• Support the coherent development and implementation of FOTs at European and International level.
• Increase the cooperation between FOT activities and their stakeholders leading to faster and effective take up of Intelligent Transport Systems and Services.
