Continuation of FOT-Net's activities FOT-Net Data FIELD OPERATIONAL TEST NETWORKING AND DATA SHARING SUPPORT
FIELD OPERATIONAL TESTS • Since 2008, the EU has supported a number of large-scale field tests of latest vehicle information technology • Thousands of drivers have been able to test the most promising prototypes and products just entering the markets • Field Operational Tests, FOTs, have 1) evaluated the societal impacts of these technologies and also 2) contributed to their introduction • The Commission recognizes the importance of making the collected data widely available to scientific community • Although the data has already been analysed in the projects that collected it, there is much potential for reusing it in new studies www.fot-net.eu | www.fot-net.eu | 2
FOT-NET • Networking platform open to all stakeholders interested in FOTs • Established in 2008 as a European support action to let FOT experts benefit from each other’s experiences as well as to give an international dimension to local activities • Promotes FESTA, a European handbook on FOT methodology • Organizes European and international workshops to identify common working items and promote FOT results • Publishes a series of newsletters about FOT developments • During 2014 – 2016, FOT-Net specifically addresses sharing and reusing FOT datasets www.fot-net.eu | www.fot-net.eu | 3
FOT-NET DATA • FOT-Net Data is a 3-year support action project with main objectives to: – Support efficient sharing and re-use of FOT datasets – Develop and promote a framework for sharing data – Build a detailed catalogue of January 2014 – December 2016 available data and tools Budget € 1.8m, EU funding € 1.4m – Operate an international Consortium: VTT, ERTICO, SAFER, IKA, CTAG, UNIVLEEDS, CEESAR, DAIMLER networking platform for FOT and 23 associated partners activities www.fot-net.eu | www.fot-net.eu | 4
PROJECT RESULTS 1/2 • Published a Data Sharing Framework that provides guidelines for FOTs, addressing e.g. – Legal topics such as test user consent forms, participants’ privacy and topics to include in data sharing agreements – Documentation of key information from FOT execution and collected datasets, ensuring that the datasets can be reused – Financial models for upkeeping datasets and arranging support for new analysts – Recommendations for data protection www.fot-net.eu | www.fot-net.eu | 5
PROJECT RESULTS 2/2 • Information on available FOT data and tools – New FOT Data Catalogue to promote available datasets – Updated FOT and tools catalogues at wiki.fot-net.eu • FOT network operation – A series of international meetings, workshops and webinars. Topics e.g. big data, C-ITS and automated driving – Events organized in collaboration with USDOT, Japanese ministry, big data project EUDAT and our 31 partners – Dissemination support to FOT activities, two newsletters / year – Update of FESTA methodology by the end of 2016 www.fot-net.eu | www.fot-net.eu | 6
OVERVIEW OF WEBINARS • Six webinars designed for participants new to FOTs or the FESTA methodology • Each webinar covers a part of the FESTA methodology: • e-learning materials created from these webinars for self-study can be accessed at the project website (http://fot-net.eu/library) www.fot-net.eu | www.fot-net.eu | 7
