8 functionalities, 28 partners, 1500 vehicles... One Field Test!


The first european large-scale Field Operational Test on Active Safety Systems (euroFOT) has brought together a comprehensive array of different organisations to test intelligent vehicle systems across Europe. Car manufacturers, suppliers, universities, research institutes and others stakeholders– in all some 28 separate organisations are involved. 

 

The field testings are focusing in particular on 8 distinct functions that assist the driver in detecting hazards, preventing accidents and make driving more efficient. Over the course of one year, more than 1500 cars and trucks equipped with a range of different intelligent technologies are being tested on European roads across France, Germany, Italy and Sweden. During this field testing, a multitude of different sensors and devices monitor every aspect of individual driver behaviour in real-world traffic conditions. Questionnaires are also being used to get driver feedback on the usefulness of the various systems.
