The goal of SP6 is to assess the societal and individual impacts of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that are tested in the euroFOT project. This deliverable describes the methodology for the impact assessment and evaluation of user related aspect in euroFOT. Data analysis methods are described for each of the work packages to be undertaken within SP6 of the project:  User Acceptance and User-Related Aspects Evaluation (WP 6300); Impact Assessment (traffic safety, traffic efficiency and environment; WP6400) and Socio-Economic Cost Benefit Analysis (WP6500). euroFOT investigates ADAS that are already present in the market or are mature enough to be tested as commercial functions. The following eight functions were selected: •Longitudinal functions: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) together in one bundle (counted as one function) and Speed Regulation System (SRS): Speed Limiter (SL) and Cruise Control (CC); •Lateral functions: Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Impairment Warning (IW) and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS); •Other functions: Curve Speed Warning (CSW), Fuel Efficiency Advisory (FEA) and Safe Human-Machine Interaction (SafeHMI). These functions are being evaluated in five test sites across Europe: Sweden, Germany (two test sites), Italy and France. The results of the data analysis activities will be described in four separate deliverables (D6.3 - D6.6), corresponding to each of the impact areas: user-related aspects, safety impacts, traffic efficiency impacts and environmental impacts. All assessment results will become available in an overall document: Deliverable 6.1 (Final evaluation results). The results of the impact assessment will be used as input for the socio-economic cost-benefit analysis, and the results of this analysis will be reported in D6.7 (Overall Cost-Benefit Study).
