In 2009, a large scale Field Operational Test (FOT) was launched by the European integrated project euroFOT. The objective was to gain insight into the behaviour of ordinary drivers in their normal traffic environment, when using Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in their vehicles. A special focus was given on analysing the potential safety impact of these applications, and identifying possible improvements for the vehicle systems that are already available on current production vehicles or very close to the market. In the middle of the final evaluation phase, this paper gives an overview of the challenges encountered within euroFOT, the scientific and practical methodologies and some preliminary results. In order to cope with various operational, legal, and technical issues, researchers followed a very specific methodology. The first step involved defining basic research questions and hypotheses. Next a detailed study design was prepared, together with a comprehensive evaluation plan. During the data collection phase that followed subjective and objective measurements were obtained from more than 1200 drivers on 1000 vehicles. These measurements were organised by five operation centres covering different European areas. The final and on-going task is the data analysis. It is done by using two different methods, through questionnaires and a large set of recorded signals. This activity required the development of ad hoc tools for data extraction, filtering and automated processing. In general, drivers appreciate and use the ADAS functionalities. With progressive received support. Vehicle signal dynamics and video data clearly show, in typical Gases, the positive effect of warnings provided by the various systems when an imminent danger is detected. FOTs require significant efforts in terms of resources and time, but the present achievements of euroFOT already indicate their value when testing several ADAS systems in ordinary road scenarios, with the opportunity to evaluate the impacts an driver behaviour and road traffic.
