Foot-LITE

Foot-LITE项目将提供创新的驾驶员/车辆界面系统和服务，以鼓励驾驶方式和行为的持续变化，从而更安全，减少拥堵，增强可持续性，帮助减少交通污染排放，并减少其他社会和环境影响。基础研究将通过原型系统的开发和设计、影响评估以及研究工具和流程的进一步开发来支持该项目强大的工业基础，包括SRIF/TRW资助的仪表车辆，通过用户反馈和评估提供可靠的基于证据的系统验证。Foot-LITE系统被视为一种工具，鼓励和挑战司机实现目前车队中已经存在的非常实际的好处，但如果没有向司机提供咨询界面，这些好处就无法轻易最大化。这种方法的最终选择和控制仍然取决于个人。这被认为是公众和商业接受Foot-LITE的关键。Foot-LITE项目的目的是创建一个革命性的驾驶员信息系统，旨在教育和鼓励更安全、更环保的驾驶和长期的行为改变。该项目包括四个Foot-LITE工作区域。有效的项目管理对于技术的交付和测试以及对其影响的评估至关重要。该工作领域将由主要合作伙伴MIRA负责，包括商业和研究专业知识。第二个工作领域是市场审查和交付，其重点是概念的发展和产品机会的识别和系统增强。第三个工作领域，技术实施，将创建影响驾驶员行为的创新应用程序；这将由TRW领导。第四个工作领域由TRG（学术领导合作伙伴）领导，使用各种方法，包括模拟和大规模车队试验，对系统和服务进行影响评估，并确定那些将支持未来政策和市场环境应用的特征，并提供一种有可能促使驾驶员行为逐步改变的工具，以解决安全和环境的双重问题。该项目将进行所有必要的研究和开发，以生产一个原型系统，该系统将由车队在正常驾驶条件下进行评估。我们亦会为车队发展所需的数据收集/数据库系统，以便收集、分析和公布系统是否有效的有力证据，以提高这方面的整体知识。将对其他用户群体进行额外的调查，以确定长期影响，以更好地确定市场机会和实施战略，以交付未来的智能汽车和相关基础设施。该系统将在项目中开发，包括一个售后市场，独立的车辆接口（尽管不排除在车辆制造过程中安装），在驾驶过程中提供实时反馈（类似于SatNav），再加上一个后台支持工具，用于离线分析行程和回顾性反馈。

The Foot-LITE project will deliver innovative driver/vehicle interface systems and services to encourage sustained changes to driving styles and behaviours which are safer, reduce congestion, enhance sustainability, help reduce traffic pollution emissions, and reduce other social and environmental impacts. Fundamental research will be used to support the strong industry base in the project through prototype systems development and design, impact assessments and the further development of research tools and processes, including the SRIF/TRW funded instrumented vehicle to deliver a credible evidence-based validation of the system through to real-world operational experiences with user feedback and evaluation. The Foot-LITE system is seen as a tool to encourage and challenge drivers to achieve very real benefits that are already available in the current vehicle fleet but whose benefits cannot be readily maximised without an advisory interface to the driver. The approach has the ultimate choice and control still resting with the individual. This is seen to be crucial to the public and commercial acceptability of Foot-LITE. The aim of the Foot-LITE project is to create a revolutionary driver information system designed to educate and encourage safer and greener driving and longer term behavioural changes. The project consists of four Foot-LITE Work Areas. Effective Project Management is crucial to the delivery and testing of technologies and the assessment of their impacts. This Work Area will be the responsibility of the Lead Partner MIRA who encompasses both commercial as well as research expertise. The second Work Area is Market Reviews and Delivery which is focussed on the development of the concept and identification of product opportunities and system enhancements. The third work area, Technical Implementation, will create innovative applications which influence driver behaviour; this will be led by TRW. The fourth Work Area, which is led by TRG (the Academic Lead Partner), uses a variety of approaches, including simulation and large scale fleet trials, to produce an Impact Assessment of the systems and services and to identify those characteristics which will support applications in a future policy and market environment and deliver a tool that has the potential in instigating a step change in driver behaviour to tackle the twin problems of safety and the environment. The project will undertake all the necessary research and development to produce a prototype system which will be evaluated by fleets of drivers in normal driving conditions. The necessary data collection/data base systems for the vehicle fleet will also be developed so that robust evidence of the effectiveness (or otherwise) of the system will be collected, analysed and published to better the overall knowledge in this area. Additional surveys of other user groups to determine long term effects will be undertaken to better determine market opportunities and implementation strategies to deliver future intelligent vehicles and associated infrastructure. The system to be developed in the project comprises an aftermarket, standalone vehicle interface (although installation during vehicle build will not be excluded) giving moment-to-moment feedback during a drive (similar to SatNav), plus a back office support tool for off-line analysis of journeys and retrospective feedback.
