Tenth FOT-Net Stakeholder workshop on Naturalistic Driving Studies, Brussels, 26 November 2013

Brussels 26 November 2013, 9:30 – 17:30

ERTICO – ITS Europe, Avenue Louise 326, Brussels

This workshop was organised in collaboration with the UDRIVE project.

More information about UDRIVE may be found at: www.udrive.eu.

In this stakeholders workshop we focussed on Naturalistic Driving Studies (NDS). NDS can be defined as “A study undertaken to provide insight into driver behaviour during every day trips by recording details of the driver, the vehicle and the surroundings through unobtrusive data gathering equipment and without experimental control”.

The following questions were addressed:

  • What is the current status of the Naturalistic Driving Studies?
  • What role can Naturalistic Driving play within Field Operational Tests, and what is the synergy between these two types of studies?
  • What are the interests and needs of stakeholders?
  • How can the results from NDS be deployed?
  • What can be done with the large amount of data that are gathered in NDS?

In this stakeholder workshop we paid attention to different types of NDS (both from Europe and the US) and with different types of vehicles (cars, trucks, powered two-wheelers and bicycles). Results from the different working groups in FOT-Net were presented in relation to NDS.
