INTRODUCTION: This report describes the outcome of the Work Package 5 “Evaluation of Methodology” (WP5) within the project SeMiFOT. The overall aim of this workpackage is to evaluate the Naturalistic FOT research methodology developed in the SeMiFOT, as such the evaluation is of the methodology itself rather than an evaluation of systems or functions. A Naturalistic Field Operational Test is defined as a study undertaken using unobtrusive observation in a natural setting, typically to evaluate the relationship between (permanent or temporary) driver-, vehicle-, or environment factors with crash risk, driving behavior, and countermeasure effectiveness.
