Such field studies are used to derive city-specific policy responses that support the implementation and avoid the negative consequences of the solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Field studies require an implementation and evaluation framework that defines the problem to be addressed, the scope of the test and the questions that should be answered through the pilot implementation. The SPROUT evaluation framework refers to the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can the financial and operational feasibility of the operator be measured?<\/li>\n<li>How can the sustainability of the mobility solution be assessed?<\/li>\n<li>How can the policy measures be identified such that they enhance the positive impacts and reduce the negative impacts of the mobility solutions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To answer those questions, the SPROUT team compiled a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/sprout-civitas.eu\/resources\/d4-1-pilot-evaluation-framework-2\"><strong>implementation and evaluation framework <\/strong><strong>for conducting the pilots<\/strong><\/a>. The SPROUT framework follows a three-stage approach that combines different objectives, tests, and assessment methods. It consists of<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the preparation phase, in which the research questions are specified, an implementation plan is established, and relevant indicators are defined;<\/li>\n<li>the use phase in which the pilot is operative and data are collected; and<\/li>\n<li>the analysis phase in which the project is evaluated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SPROUT Evaluation framework builds upon well-known and proven CIVITAS methodologies The SPROUT project adapted the generic <a href=\"https:\/\/sprouttoolbox.nuacampus.org\/index.php\/download\/festa-methodology\/\"><strong>FESTA methodology<\/strong><\/a> to cover the pilots\u2019 activities:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;870&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][vc_column_text]FESTA means \u2018Field opErational teSt supporT Action\u2019.
