Summary
This document outlines the Participant Training and Stakeholder Education Plan (PTSEP) for the Safe Trips in a Connected Transportation Network (ST-CTN) project, a Phase 1 deployment under the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Complete Trip-ITS4US program. The project, led by the Atlanta Regional Commission in Gwinnett County, Georgia, aims to enhance mobility, safety, and accessibility for underserved populations, including individuals with disabilities, older adults, those with limited English proficiency, and low-income residents. The ST-CTN system integrates connected vehicle data, transit signal priority, machine learning, and predictive analytics into an open-source mobile application to support personalized, multimodal trip planning and navigation. The PTSEP serves as a foundational guide for training stakeholders and end users in preparation for the project’s subsequent design, testing, and operational phases. The plan categorizes participants into three primary groups: Technical System Administrators and Researchers, Infrastructure Owner Operators (IOOs), and End Users. Technical administrators include operations staff, IT personnel, and researchers responsible for system maintenance and data analysis. IOOs comprise transit staff, traffic operations personnel, and agency staff from Gwinnett County, The ATL, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the ARC. End users are further segmented by specific needs, such as mobility, vision, hearing, or cognitive disabilities, as well as general users. The document details eligibility criteria, recruitment strategies, and retention plans for each group, emphasizing the need to engage diverse populations effectively. Training methods include virtual, on-demand, and in-person classroom sessions, with specific coordinators assigned to manage instruction for each stakeholder group. The training curriculum consists of twelve distinct courses tailored to the roles and responsibilities of each participant group. Technical administrators receive instruction on Sidewalk Scout data collection, Space Time Memory (STM) system administration, ATL RIDES system administration, Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols for research data, and performance measurement dashboard management. IOOs are trained on high-level system overviews, call center operations, and transit driver operations to ensure seamless integration of new technologies into existing services. End users receive training on using the ATL RIDES website and mobile app, call center trip planning, and crowdsourced sidewalk data collection. The plan specifies training venues, instructor setups, and materials, ensuring that content is accessible and relevant to the specific capabilities and needs of each user subgroup. The significance of this plan lies in its structured approach to ensuring the successful deployment and sustainability of advanced transportation technologies for vulnerable populations. By providing targeted training, the project aims to equip stakeholders with the knowledge to operate and maintain the integrated system while enabling end users to navigate complex transportation networks independently. The PTSEP aligns with companion documents, including the Safety Management Plan and Human Use Approval Summary, to ensure consistency across project deliverables. Ultimately, the plan supports the broader goal of creating replicable, accessible mobility solutions that improve the complete trip experience for all travelers, particularly those historically excluded from efficient transportation options.
Key finding
The study provides a comprehensive training framework that segments stakeholders into technical, operational, and end-user groups to facilitate the deployment of connected vehicle and accessibility technologies.
