Description
This project deals with extensive collection and management of FOT data. The project includes information about the test of various transport based applied technologies. It deals with organising FOT data from across Europe and the American sub-continent. The FOT community has access to the data and has the permissions to update the FOT database. The database will be targeted towards obtaining research results.
Inputs

Project Processes
FOT Net Data aims to collect data from all major ITS participants. The major tool by which they process it is by conducting educational/awareness seminars amongst potential members. FOT awareness workshops in new geographies where new traffic trends can be recorded.
Currently, Europe, USA and Australia are targeted for initial development of the FOT database.
Project Status
