Abstract:
This report is the initial draft of the Enabling Technology Readiness Assessment for the Transportation Data Equity Initiative, 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 third-party technologies that allows travelers to explore the layout of transit stations before using those facilities.
