Foot-LITE

Foot-Lite项目将提供创新的司机/车辆界面系统和服务，以鼓励持续改变更安全的驾驶方式和行为，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。基础研究将用于通过原型系统开发和设计、影响评估以及进一步开发研究工具和程序，包括SRIF/TRW资助的仪表化工具的进一步开发，支持项目中强大的行业基础，以提供可信的基于证据的系统验证，并通过用户反馈和评估提供真实世界的操作经验。低碳系统被视为一种鼓励和挑战司机实现非常真实的好处的工具，这些好处在目前的车队中已经存在，但如果没有向司机提供建议的界面，这些好处无法轻易实现最大化。这种方法的最终选择和控制权仍然取决于个人。这被认为对公众和商业上对Foot-Lite的接受度至关重要。Foot-Lite项目的目的是创建一个革命性的司机信息系统，旨在教育和鼓励更安全、更环保的驾驶和更长期的行为改变。该项目由四个英尺高的工作区组成。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。这一工作领域将由首席合作伙伴米拉负责，他既有商业专长，也有研究专长。第二个工作领域是市场审查和交付，重点是发展概念和确定产品机会和系统改进。第三个工作领域，技术实施，将创建影响司机行为的创新应用程序；这将由TRW领导。第四个工作领域由TRG(学术牵头合作伙伴)领导，使用包括模拟和大规模车队试验在内的各种方法来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中的应用的特征，并提供一种有可能促使司机行为逐步改变的工具，以解决安全和环境这两个问题。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，该系统将在正常驾驶条件下由车队的司机进行评估。还将为车队开发必要的数据收集/数据库系统，以便收集、分析和公布该系统有效性(或其他方面)的可靠证据，以更好地了解这一领域的整体知识。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，以提供未来的智能汽车和相关的基础设施。该项目将开发的系统包括一个售后、独立的车辆界面(尽管不排除在车辆制造过程中安装)，在驾驶过程中提供即时反馈(类似于卫星导航)，以及一个用于离线分析行程和回顾反馈的后台支持工具。

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.
