FOT-Net events in December 2010

In cooperation with

The FOT community was cordially invited to attend the events being organised by FOT-Net in cooperation with the EC-funded projects euroFOT, TeleFOT, PROLOGUE and DaCoTA. 

It was a unique opportunity to learn and discuss about the latest FOT activities in Europe. The events gathered experts and stakeholders with the aim of sharing information, results and developments of trials. Cooperation between the different projects allowed to maximize the exposure of results, to enlarge the discussion and to foster further cooperation.

On 30 November we invited experts to attend a Workshop on Near crashes. Field Operational Tests and Naturalistic Driving Studies are interested in near crashes or incidents to identify situations that are potentially dangerous and could have led to an actual crash. However, projects struggle with finding a good operational definition of near crashes. This issue together with other related questions were tackled during the Workshop.

The following day, 01 December we invited all experts and interested stakeholders to participate to a seminar on Best practices using the FESTA methodology. During its targeted seminars FOT-Net has received a series of feedback on the FOT methodology (FESTA) from experts currently involved in FOTs. This feedback as well as best practices from the organisation of FOTs were the target of this seminar.

And finally on 02 December the 4^th FOT-Net Stakeholders meeting provided an insight into the Pan-European FOTs, euroFOT, TeleFOT (currently on their second year of activities), and future activities on cooperative systems. PROLOGUE was also invited to give its views in what regards naturalistic driving. This edition of the Stakeholders meeting was organised in cooperation with TeleFOT Second Stakeholders Forum providing an opportunity to raise awareness on the use of aftermarket and nomadic devices.
