EuroFOT

euroFOT, [https://www.eurofot-ip.eu/ European Field Operational Test], was a project of gathering naturalistic data{{cite book|last1=Lincoln, Gubba|first1=Yvonna, Egon|title=Naturalistic Inquiry|date=1985|publisher=Sage Publications, Inc|location=California, USA|isbn=978-0-8039-2431-4|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/naturalisticinqu00linc}} to assess the impact from the usage of intelligent transportation systems called "intelligent vehicle systems" or "active safety systems" to evaluate their effect on transport safety and fuel efficiency.{{Cite web|url = http://www.ertico.com/eurofot-final-event-unveiling-the-results-of-the-first-large-scale-fot-of-adas-in-europe/|title = euroFOT Final Event: Unveiling the results of the first large-scale FOT of ADAS in Europe|publisher = ERTICO|date = June 27, 2012|access-date = March 1, 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140307080031/http://www.ertico.com/eurofot-final-event-unveiling-the-results-of-the-first-large-scale-fot-of-adas-in-europe/|archive-date = March 7, 2014|url-status = dead}} Led by Ford in partnership with 28 partners, including European vehicle manufacturers, the project involved test on 1000 vehicles during a one-year period.{{Cite web|url = http://wiki.fot-net.eu/index.php?title=EuroFOT|title = EuroFOT|date = December 3, 2013|publisher = FOT-net}} The project included 8 sites in Central Europe.

More than 100 TB of data were gathered of use for future analysis and research.{{Cite web|url=http://www.hybridcars.com/eurofot-project-confirms-usefulness-driver-assist-systems-47574/|title=EuroFOT Project Confirms Usefulness Of Driver Assist Systems|last=Crowe|first=Philippe|date=June 27, 2012|publisher=hybridCars}}

The intelligent vehicle systems included tools to automatically adjust vehicle speed using headway sensor data, to alert the driver if a sensor detects an object with high probability of collision, to alert the driver when the car is not centered on its lane, and tools monitoring fuel usage.{{Cite web|url = http://www.greencarcongress.com/2012/06/eurofot-20120626.html|title = euroFOT study demonstrates how driver assistance systems can increase safety and fuel efficiency|publisher = Green Car Congress|date = June 26, 2012}} The study showed a decrease of safety risk up to 42% due to timely alert of the driver or an automatic adjustment of speed,{{Cite web|url = http://www.philstar.com/motoring/2012/07/18/828782/volvos-new-safety-technologies-reduce-risk-rear-end-impacts-42-percent|title = Volvo's new safety technologies reduce risk of rear-end impacts by up to 42 percent|date = July 18, 2012|publisher = The Philippine Star}} and that over 90% of accidents involve driver behaviour as a contributing factor. The data included assessment of risk in different positions on the road relative to intersections and visibility.
