Abstract:In this report, we summarize the progress and accomplishments achieved in Mobility21 University Transportation Center Award #40459-8.3-1080376, titled “Creating and Integrating Solutions to Enable the ‘Complete Trip’”. One integrating theme that has been promoted in recent years for framing the technology needs of mobility-challenged individuals is that of facilitating the “Complete Trip” [NCMM 2020]. Toward this end, this project has focused on two chief deliverables: (1) a mobile smartphone app for persons with disabilities that integrates pedestrian-friendly route planning, real-time navigation, safe intersection crossing, and coordination of multi-modal travel legs through cloud-based traveler-to-infrastructure (T2I) communication, and (2) the development of enabling technology for an intelligent wheelchair that couples dynamic obstacle detection and autonomous navigation capabilities to provide wheelchair users with real-time driver assist for traversing challenging terrain (e.g., intersection curb cuts, potholes, sidewalks under repair). The project focused specifically on complete trip support for pedestrians with two types of disabilities, wheelchair users and vision-impaired individuals, but we believe the capabilities that have been developed will also be applicable and useful to other mobility-challenged individuals.
