The FOT Glossary The FOT community has gradually set up a Glossary starting from the activities of FESTA and now further improved by euroFOT. FOT-Net is trying to bring the Glossary to the whole FOT community in the FOT Glossary where anyone can suggest an addition or amendment. In addition the four pan-eropean CIP PSP pilot projects on Electromobility that were launched jointly in 2012 are working on a common Glossary. The CIP PSP Electromobility pilot projects glossary can be viewed on this Wiki.

FESTA Handbook To improve comparability and significance of FOT results at national and European levels, the FESTA project, funded by the European Commission, originally developed a handbook on FOT methodology. The methodology is now owned by the FOT community. It is promoted and it has been periodically updated by FOT-Net. FOT-Net organises webinars and workshops disseminating the methodology. Visit the FESTA Handbook page to browse the FESTA Handbook and the deliverables of FESTA.

Another useful reference tool is the iMobility effects database. This database maintains state-of-the-art knowledge of the effects of different intelligent vehicle and infrastructure systems. Links to studies, conference papers and articles are structured according to type of system or application.
