The tenth stakeholder workshop on naturalistic driving studies (NDS), organised in collaboration with the UDRIVE project, will be held in Brussels on 26 November at 374 Ertico-ITS Europe.

The workshop will focus on NDS which is defined as ‘a study undertaken to provide insight into driver behaviour during every day trips by recording details of the driver, the vehicle and the surroundings through unobtrusive data gathering equipment and without experimental control’.
 
The workshop will discuss the current status of NDS, the role it can play within field operational tests, as well as the synergy between the two types of studies and how the results from NDS can be deployed. 

Discussions will also pay attention to different types of NDS, both from Europe and the US and the different types of vehicles (cars, trucks, powered two-wheelers and bicycles).
 
Results from the different working groups in FOT-Net will be presented in relation to NDS, together with the latest revision of the FESTA handbook.
