Abstract:This report is the initial Safety Management Plan 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 Safety Management Plan describes the underlying needs associated with the safety of all travelers, caregivers, service providers, and all other individuals potentially impacted by the planned deployment of the TDEI. The report assesses the safety needs and risks of travelers who will be interacting with the TDEI. It presents the strategies to be deployed by the team to minimize and mitigate those risks, as well as respond to potential incidents once the DEI is in operation. The report is intended to help inform end users, developers, agencies, organizations, and staff involved in the system of these risks and the planned responses of the project team.
