Abstract

The Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI) leverages emerging innovations to identify, develop, and deploy new transformative technologies, applications, or systems, along with supporting policies and institutional guidance, to address mobility challenges of all travelers, in particular, travelers with disabilities. ATTRI research focuses on the needs of three stakeholder groups: people with disabilities, veterans with disabilities, and older adults. ATTRI will also develop technological solutions to lower or remove barriers to transportation according to four functional disabilities within these stakeholder groups: visual, hearing, cognitive, and mobility. The technologies potentially leveraged by ATTRI provide almost ubiquitous access to a wealth of real-time situational data sources, including data specific to transportation, municipalities, points of interest, accessibility, and crowd-sourced information.
