Abstract

Numerous projects have recently set out to test Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) technologies and services, ranging from large European Field Operational Tests (FOTs) to small-scale pilots. The FESTA methodology for FOTs was developed in 2008 to support the evaluation of advanced driver-assistance systems. It has since been updated many times, and successfully used in European and national projects. The paper describes how the methodology was extended in order to be useful for CCAM projects. The FESTA handbook was updated with more recommendations addressing automation. A micro-version of FESTA was developed for small-scale pilots. A gap analysis was performed to identify new elements for CCAM evaluation. New approaches for impact assessment were developed. Recommendations for gathering lessons learned and for sharing data, knowledge and experience have been included in FESTA. A new EU project, FAME, will take the next step in evaluating CCAM, developing a Common Evaluation Methodology.
