Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI): Innovation Scan

The Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI) focuses on research to improve the independent mobility of travelers with disabilities through the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and other advanced technologies. This report is one of three intended to provide an overview of technologies, innovations, and research that are applicable to the ATTRI vision. The particular focus of this report is an Innovation Scan [INNO], to survey technologies that have been recently introduced to public use and are being evaluated for effectiveness in select test markets prior to deployment at larger scales. User experiences with INNO technologies either represent the segment of the test market user population or are based on reports by the organization that is introducing the technology. The overall organization of this report mirrors the overall organization of the ATTRI effort. ATTRI focuses on five technology areas to improve transportation for persons of its three stakeholder groups – people with disabilities, veterans with disabilities, and older adults: (1) Wayfinding and Navigation, (2) ITS and Assistive Technologies, (3) Automation and Robotics, (4) Data Integration, and (5) Enhanced Human Service Transportation. Review of each of the five technology areas considers the applicability of such technologies to four transportation modalities that ATTRI stakeholders encounter: (1) Transit, (2) Personal Vehicles, (3) First / Last Mile, and (4) Pedestrian. Where necessary, a cross-cutting modality category is also included.
