General Evaluation Plan

1. Verification of technical requirements
2. Verification of operational requirements
3. Evaluation of user aspects
4. Impact assessment

Task 8.1 Evaluation Plan

• Development of a test and evaluation plan for
• • technical (system and components)
  • functional (false-rate behaviour)
  • user-related (acceptance, driver behaviour etc.)
  • impact assessment
• Important steps:
• • Definition of evaluation objectives
  • Description of the systems
  • Selection of assessment categories
  • Definition of methods and indicators
  • Definition of experimental setup
  • Selection of necessary equipment
  • Selection of an appropriate set of test scenarios

Task 8.2 System Tests

• Component tests (sensors and communication, data fusion unit)
• System level test (false/correct alarm rate of functions)

Task 8.3 User Trials

• Investigation of Driver
  
• • Reactions
  • Behavioural effects
  • Workload
  • Acceptance
  • Willingness to purchase

 Task 8.4 System Benefit / Impact Assessment

• Which situations can be detected by the installed sensors?
• Which situations can be coped with by the system (limitations of software and actors)?
• How does the driver react to the system information/warning/intervention
• How does the system influence the driver behaviour in general?

The impact assessment will be conducted in three steps depending on the regarded functions:

• Traffic flow simulation
• Accident analysis
• Behavioural effect approach 

Task 8.5 Demonstration

• The demonstrator vehicles will be presented in a test intersection
