4. There is a strong motivation to carry out FOTs in Europe and in other
parts of the world.
Motivation to improve mobility…
Safe mobility
38 000 deaths on the roads in the EU according to 2008 statistics.
Cleaner mobility
EC policy framework has set a target o 20% reduction of greenhouse
gases by 2020
… and 20% increase in energy efficiency.
And we believe that the deployment of ITS solutions is a step towards the
improvement of Mobility.

5. So what has been done to achieve deployment?
This next chart will demonstrate how FOTs fit into a broader deployment of
ITS technologies.
The results from FOTs support the preparation of policy decisions which in
turn will lead to deployment.
Projects and initiatives at Pan-European level funded by the EC .
Below the dotted line are new EC funded activities which have recently
started.
In the center is FOT-Net gathering inputs from the FOTs and sharing them
with the broader FOT community and also promoting the FOT
methodology.

6. FOTs are often multi-stakeholder activities with their own expectations.
But we can say that the main consumers of FOTs are policy makers and
Business leaders. Why?

7. So previous slides have shown that there are many FOT activities in
Europe and that a supporting activity is useful tor bring all these activities
together under one umbrella.
This next chart illustrates another way of how FOT-Net is placed in the
broader FOT landscape.
FOT-Net support action funded by the European Commission, DG
Information Society and Media. Activities will last until 2013.
We see the FOT landscape Three levels:
Thematic level – FOT programme addresses different fields of
applications
Geographic – FOTs developed at national, european and global levels
Time – continuous support, bridging between the FESTA methodology
outputs and the FOT activities.
FOT-Net is there to serve as networking platform between these different
levels. To PROMOTE, SHARE, INFORM AND SERVE AS A PLACE FOR 7
DISCUSSION.

8. FOTs: what is happening? Numerous FOTs testing different types of
applications in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. There is an
opportunity to learn from all these but clearly there is a need for
coordination of all the available information
One of the ways we address the cooperation needs is to bring all
information available under one place the FOT-Wiki. The FOT-Wiki
An encyclopedia that anyone can edit…
Go to the google page.
