Abstract:This report is the Concept of Operations (ConOps) document for the Transportation Data Equity Initiative (TDEI) project, an effort funded by the Federal Highway Administration’s ITS4US Program. The project, led by the University of Washington’s (UW) Taskar Center for Accessible Technology and the Washington State Transportation Center, will develop a national pipeline to create, disseminate, and share standardized data about pedestrian environments, transportation environments, and on-demand transportation services to enable better use, discoverability, and data analytics of these assets and services. Specifically, the project will release nationally the OpenSidewalks data standard for digitizing pedestrian ways and will extend the national data standards for on-demand transit services (GTFS-Flex) and for mapping of multilevel transit stations (GTFS-Pathways). Additionally, the project will demonstrate the use of those data and standards in three applications: a multimodal, accessible travel planner (an extension of Access Map), an expansion of Microsoft’s Soundscape application, which helps blind and low-vision people navigate and explore the environment, and a simulation tool to be built by Unity Technologies that allows travelers to explore the layout of transit stations prior to using those facilities. The ConOps, based on the format and guidelines of ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2011 ConOps Standard, is a user-oriented document that describes system characteristics for the proposed UW ITS4US Deployment Project system from the users’ perspective. The ConOps has been drafted to communicate the users’ needs for and expectations of the proposed system to greatly increase the availability of pedestrian pathway data and flexible transit information available to underserved travelers. The ConOps will be the guiding document for subsequent planning activities in Phase 1.
