TeleFOT Stakeholder Forum on nomadic devices held in November

Creation date: 11 January 2010

Today there is an increasing need to move and stay always connected: with other people, for business or leisure, as well as with the environment, to exchange relevant information for our mobility. The number of devices supporting transportation is increasing. In particular, the market penetration of aftermarket nomadic devices as personal navigation devices (PND) or smart phones is growing exponentially according to the market trends.
Their use is carefully studied in laboratories before getting to the market and many research projects have successfully developed and demonstrated a wide number of transport applications.
But there is still uncertainty on what really happens when such devices are inserted in real world conditions: to know how the driver uses a system and what are the short and long term effects are crucial issues.

The TeleFOT project aims to test the impacts of driver support functions on the driving task with large fleets of test drivers in real-life driving conditions. One of TeleFOT's tasks is to foster discussion among stakeholders on how Field Operational Tests can support the future of sustainable mobility, taking into account the focus, objectives and orientations of the tests which will be conducted.

In November 2009, TeleFOT organised the First TeleFOT General Stakeholder Forum in order to support sharing and active cooperation towards common solutions.
