    This deliverable is the second of two Deliverables from Sub-project 4 of TeleFOT (Evaluation and Assessment) that each report on the results across each of the impact areas considered within TeleFOT (Safety, Mobility, Efficiency, Environment and User uptake). Deliverable D4.2.3a reports on the interim/first results that were available shortly after the FOTs had finished. However, not all of the data had been processed at that stage and there was more analysis of these data requied in order to address the research questions that were formulated in the first year of TeleFOT. This deliverable therefore follows on directly from D4.2.3a and provides a summary of all final results that are available from TeleFOT and which are presented within deliverables D4.3.3 through to D4.7.3. These results are based on the outcomes of the final analyses with the field data in each impact area and are focused on data available from both LFOTs and DFOTs. Full descriptions of the analyses can be found in the following TeleFOT Deliverables • D4.3.3 – Impacts on Safety – Results and Implications • D4.3.4 – Field Opertional Tests of eCall • D4.4.3 – Impacts on Mobility – Results and Implications • D4.5.3 - TeleFOT applications efficiency impact • D4.6.3 - Impacts on Environment – Results and Implications • D4.7.3 – Results and Implications of User Uptake Analysi

    This deliverable is the first of two Deliverables from Sub-project 4 of TeleFOT (Evaluation and Assessment) that each report on the results across each of the impact areas considered within TeleFOT (Safety, Mobility, Efficiency, Environment and User uptake). However, at the time of preparing this Deliverable, (M46 to M48), only limited data were available within the project on which to base the first report. Therefore, this deliverable provides a summary of the results that are available and which are presented within deliverables D4.3.2 through to D4.7.2. These results are based predominantly on the outcomes of the first analyses with the field data in each impact area and are focused on data available from both LFOTs and DFOTs. Full descriptions of the analyses can be found in TeleFOT Deliverables D4.3.2, D4.4.2, D4.5.2, D4.6.2 and D4.7.2

    Is naturalistic driving research possible with highly instrumented cars? Lessons learnt in three research centres

    No full text
    This paper provides an overview of the experiences using Highly Instrumented Cars (HICs) in three research Centres across Europe; Spain, the UK and Greece. The data collection capability of each car is described and an overview presented relating to the relationship between the level of instrumentation and the research possible. A discussion then follows which considers the advantages and disadvantages of using HICs for ND research. This includes the obtrusive nature of the data collection equipment, the cost of equipping the vehicles with sophisticated Data Acquisition Systems (DAS) and the challenges for data storage and analysis particularly with respect to video data. It is concluded that the use of HICs substantially increases the depth of knowledge relating to the driver's behaviour and their interaction with the vehicle and surroundings. With careful study design and integration into larger studies with Low(ly) instrumented Cars (LICs), HICs can contribute significantly and in a relatively naturalistic manner to the driver behaviour research

    Markets and market potential of TeleFOT functions and services: TeleFOT [Field Operational Tests of Aftermarket and Nomadic Devices in Vehicles] D5.3.2

    Get PDF
    The aim of Deliverable 5.3.2 – ‘Markets and market potential of TeleFOT functions and services’ is to understand the potential of the marketable project results, bridging the gap between research and a marketable innovation. The evolving picture in the Nomadic Devices market has been taken into consideration, from the project beginning to its end

    Influencing alertness through remote coaching for professional drivers

    No full text
    This paper presents a focused look at findings related to driver fatigue from Use Case A (UCA) of EU project PANACEA (grant agreement number 953426). UCA considers safety drivers of autonomous shuttles. For safety and regulation reasons all shuttles have a driver present ready to intervene if needed. In practice, this means that the safety driver is responsible for ensuring the safety of both passengers and surrounding road users. 8 shuttle safety drivers (100% of those available) participated. Subjective driver sleepiness was reported daily at the start and end of each shift using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale. Potential risk for driver sleepiness was calculated using the Bordeaux Sleepiness Scale (BOSS). Overall, sleepiness was a rare experience (mean KSS start shift = 3, mean KSS end shift = 3.1). However, those identified as potentially at-risk using BOSS had some experiences of sleepiness (KSS=7) on some shifts. The PANACEA system uses input from sensors in the vehicle, workplace depot and on the driver, creating a holistic monitoring and assessment system. This detects professional drivers who are not fit to drive and supports them and their employers to manage the situation and adopt preventive measures.</p

    Deliverable 6.2: Evaluation framework, plans and material – an update

    No full text
    This deliverable presents the evaluation framework, plans and material for all data collections connected to work package 6 (WP6) of the PANACEA project. It describes the objectives of the studies and how they will be realised. The purpose of the PANACEA evaluation framework is to create a common framework to be used in all studies to make sure the data are collected in a way that makes it possible to consolidate the results at the end and to provide what is needed for impact analysis (WP7). The first version of the deliverable (D6.1: ‘Evaluation framework, plans and material´) had its focus on setting the framework and the work process. In this updated version, the focus is on the evaluation protocols for all studies, including templates for the pilot sites, questionnaires to use, key performance indicators (KPI), log files to use, crucial timelines, etc. The experimental plans are described per pilot site and type of evaluation activity. The key content of D6.2 is structured as follows:  Chapter 1 is the introduction to the deliverable, specifying its purpose, the intended audience, and interrelations with other project activities. Chapter 2 introduces the project objectives related to the WP6 data collections. Chapter 3 provides a brief overview of each Use Case and Chapter 4 presents the various studies within the project including descriptions of the main actors, environment, vehicles, PANACEA sensors/technologies, and countermeasures. Chapter 5 describes the PANACEA evaluation framework. Chapters 6-15 then describe the steps defined in the evaluation framework. Chapters 6-11 include the planning phase and present the Use Case Scenarios, Research Questions, Key Performance Indicators, study designs, data gathering tools, and data analysis plan. Chapters 12-13 describe the implementation phase, including pilot site preparations, and data collection. Chapters 13-15 describe the data analysis phase and includes chapters about data delivery, data analysis, results reporting, results consolidation, and impact assessment. Lastly, Chapter 16 provides the conclusions of the deliverable.  The deliverable presents both a horizontal perspective of the pilot sites as well as more detailed descriptions of what will be included in the different studies. The main text of the deliverable provides an overview of all studies and evaluations within PANACEA. Research questions and KPIs are defined for each study (Appendix III). The general data gathering tools (objective and subjective) are identified. The questionnaires used for the evaluations are included in Appendix IV. A set of guidelines on practicalities and ethical aspects to take into consideration before and during data collection are presented. Experimental plans for all WP6 data collections are included as appendices to the deliverable (Appendix II).</p

    Deliverable 6.3: Consolidation of pilots’ results

    No full text
    Deliverable D6.3: "Consolidation of Pilots’ Results" is the culminating document of work package 6 (WP6) of the PANACEA project. This deliverable encapsulates the comprehensive results from various pilot studies aimed at evaluating the three core components developed by the PANACEA project: holistic fitness to drive assessment methodologies, commercial health toolkits (CHTs), and a cloud-based coaching and support system. These components were designed to integrate multiple impairment types, provide thorough evaluations of drivers' fitness, and offer real-time coaching and support to both drivers and operators.</p
