Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI): Assessment of Relevant Research

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 Assessment of Relevant Research [ARR], to report on research technologies - both within and outside of the transportation domain - that show promise at addressing the challenges that face ATTRI stakeholders. While ARR technologies are discussed with a vision toward their application to ATTRI stakeholder transportation needs, they represent little or no direct public experiences with such technologies in the transportation context. The overall organization of this report echoes the organization of the overall 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.
