In SP 4 the evaluation and assessment of the data gathered in the different Field Operational Test of the TeleFOT project is addressed. Herein the assessment of the effects of the use of nomadic devices on various impact areas, like safety and mobility, is evaluated. In WP 4.6 environmental impacts are covered. This means that influencing factors like a change of speed, acceleration or number and length of journeys can be changed by using aftermarket and NDs. In the course of the project a huge amount of data will be logged that have to be processed subsequent to the tests. This challenging task has to be covered by means of the central TeleFOT database. To assure that the analysis of the impact areas inside TeleFOT can be conducted properly and to avoid repetitions inside the project analysis plans have to be set up. In these analysis plans the aims and the theoretical basis, developed in SP 2, of the impact assessment are described. With the information regarding data, like research questions, hypotheses and performance indicators, given in this report the researcher will be enabled to define the methodology to follow during the processing of the data and the evaluation of the results. In the general approach for the impact assessment the partners involved in WP 4.6 are addressed and their role inside the WP is defined. The hypotheses analysis strategy contains a description for each of the TeleFOT core set hypotheses addressed during the evaluation of environmental impacts. This assures that the effects caused by the systems will be estimated in the same way by the different partners involved. Beneath the evaluation of the given hypotheses other analysis approaches like micro simulations will be shown. To avoid risks already identified in the forefront of the tests several risks that can occur during the conduction of the tests or during the evaluation of the data are addressed. For each risk a suggestion how to avoid or manage the risk and a solution in case the risk is appearing is given.
