Summary
This report outlines the International Innovation Coordination Plan for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Accessible Transportation Technology Research Initiative (ATTRI). ATTRI is a joint initiative co-led by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration, aimed at developing transformative technologies to enable independent travel for people with disabilities, veterans, and older adults. The document addresses the need to identify promising global transportation technologies and establish international collaboration frameworks to accelerate the deployment of accessible solutions in the United States. The project team conducted an analysis of eight international initiatives to identify partners for collaboration. Based on this assessment, two initiatives were selected for detailed coordination plans: the Center for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CCAV) in the United Kingdom and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) alongside the Strategic Innovation Creation Program – Automated Driving for Universal Services (SIP-adus) in Japan. The methodology involved establishing communications with program leads and developing short- and long-term strategies for each partner. The plans define collaboration structures, governance, agreement types (such as twinning agreements or memoranda of understanding), and specific working group functions. The findings highlight distinct collaboration pathways for each partner. For the UK, the team identified ongoing CCAV-funded projects—GATEway, UK Autodrive, and INSIGHT—as prime candidates for collaboration, noting CCAV’s rapid pace as an advantage. For Japan, the report identifies the Pedestrian Information Communication System (PICS), first/last mile automation research, and Indoor High-Precise Positioning projects as areas of interest. However, the team notes that cultural and language barriers may slow relationship building with Japanese agencies, requiring strict adherence to communication protocols. The recommended strategy involves ramping up activities with CCAV within three to six months, while pursuing active collaboration with Japanese partners in the mid-to-long term (six to twelve months). The significance of this plan lies in its potential to leverage global technological advances to benefit U.S. travelers with disabilities. Short-term benefits include adapting existing international technologies for U.S. adoption, thereby accelerating deployment and stretching investment dollars. Long-term implications involve harmonizing accessible data standards to facilitate data sharing among public agencies and private industry. This coordination aims to foster technology transfer, capacity building, and the development of innovative applications that enhance accessibility across wayfinding, automation, robotics, and data integration domains.
Key finding
The report identifies the UK's CCAV and Japan's MLIT/SIP-adus as priority international partners for ATTRI, proposing specific coordination plans to share data, testbeds, and technologies to improve accessible transportation.
