TeleFOT is a Large Scale Collaborative Project under the Seventh Framework Programme, co-funded by the European Commission DG Information Society and Media within the strategic objective "ICT for Cooperative Systems". Officially started on June 1st 2008, TeleFOT aims to test the impacts of driver support functions on the driving task with large fleets of test drivers in real-life driving conditions. In particular, TeleFOT assesses via Field Operational Tests the impacts of functions provided by aftermarket and nomadic devices, including future interactive traffic services that will become part of driving environment systems within the next five years. Field Operational Tests developed in TeleFOT aim at a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency, quality, robustness and user friendliness of in-vehicle systems, such as ICT, for smarter, safer and cleaner driving. The analysis undertaken within the TeleFOT project aims to assess the impact of aftermarket nomadic devices in five distinct assessment areas; Safety (WP4.3 leader LOUGH), Mobility (WP4.4 leader VTT), Efficiency (WP4.5 leader CERTH/HIT), Environment (WP4.6 leader IKA) and Business Models for User Uptake (WP4.7 leader CHALMERS). In order to measure the impacts, SP2 in collaboration with SP4 has developed core research questions and hypotheses for each assessment area that also take into account the functionality of the devices specifically under consideration in TeleFOT. This Deliverable D.4.6.2 deals with preliminary results of the environmental impact assessment. Therefore the progress made so far since the development of the analysis plan in D 4.6.1 is described in this Deliverable. To get to the first preliminary results further steps have been carried out to address the defined Research Questions. These steps contain the definition of the needed data in form of Performance Indicators and the needed format and scripting for the Central Database used for the evaluation inside the TeleFOT project. A description of these steps is provided in the following sections of the Deliverable. Inside the project the Field Operational Tests, mainly the large scale FOTS, just started, so that there is only a small amount of data available in the Central Database. Due to the fact, that the scripting of the post processing algorithm on the Central Data base have ot been finalised, several Performance Indicators needed for the evaluation of the impact are not available. Therefore the Deliverable only contains results from the first evaluation of the travel diaries. However a report on the pilot analysis undertaken in WP 4.6 will be given in the Deliverables following D4.6.2, like D4.2.3, and in the final Deliverable (D4.6.3) due in month 42.
