The euroFOT project is a large-scale Field Operational Test (FOT) undertaken in Europe in order to evaluate different Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with regard to traffic safety, efficiency and environment as well as to usability and acceptance. For this reason, test vehicles, instrumented with data acquisition systems and equipped with different ADAS, have been provided by different manufacturers to ordinary drivers for everyday driving. The FOT is organised by five test sites (vehicle management centers) across Europe: In Sweden, France, Italy, and at two test sites in Germany. The responsibility of SP5 (Vehicle and Test Management Center; VMC) is to prepare and guarantee both a smoothly procedure of the field operational testing (FOT) and the cooperation among the vehicle management centers, as well as to execute the FOT in accordance with the other work packages of the project. It provides the operational platform to SP6 (Evaluation Impact Assessment, Socio-economic CBA) so that the specific ADAS under investigation can be evaluated with regard to the hypotheses. This deliverable is the result of WP5600 which is responsible for the execution of the FOT. The aim of D5.3 is to deliver the final objective and subjective data that has been gathered over the course of one year of field operational testing, which will be handed over to SP6 for statistical analysis. A general overview on how what kind of subjective and objective data has been gathered is given in the general chapters 2 and 3. In the VMC specific chapers an overview on the experimental design and VMC exceptions is given. The focus of this document is on a final delivery of the amount of data that has been gathered and will be available for evaluation. The document does not include any raw data, results or evaluation processes, since this will be the task of SP6, and does not go into detail with regard to the type of collected data. For the subjective data an overview is given on •the number of questionnaires that have been handed out over the course of the FOT •for each of the questionnaires: ◦the number of questionnaires that have been filled in ◦the number of questionnaires that have not been returned ◦the response rate. For the objective data an overview is given on •the overall amount of data that has been gathered per VMC •for each experimental condition: ◦number of overall driven kilometres ◦the number of available driver data sets ◦the number of driving months during which data has been collected ◦the number of trips for which data has been collected. In addition, the amount of data sets with missing / incomplete data, drop-outs etc. are presented. Data reported in the document are as updated as possible. The data amount that will finally be handed over for data analysis to SP6 can still change due to the project and FOT execution timeline.
