Recently Released Publications from the ITS-JPO
ITS-JPO has released the following four publications: Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI), Report on Functional Requirements and Software Architecture for the IDTO Prototype Phase I Demonstration Site (Columbus), System Design and Architecture for the IDTO Prototype Phase I Demonstration Site (Columbus), and Transit Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Applications: Near Term Research and Development Transit Bus-Pedestrian/Cyclist Crossing Safety Application: Operational Concept. The accompanying reports are listed below.
Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI):
In coordination with Easter Seals Project ACTION (ESPA) and with support from Noblis, ATTRI held an online dialogue from May 15-June 6, 2014 to garner input on mobility and transportation technology for travelers with disabilities. Participants were asked to consider both new technology or post ideas about ways to improve existing transportation technology. Through the online dialogue, ATTRI received input on the subject of accessible transportation technology, with a thoughtful discussion of the benefits and challenges of the different technology solutions.

Report on Functional Requirements and Software Architecture for the IDTO Prototype
Phase I Demonstration Site (Columbus):
This report documents the System Requirements and Architecture for the Phase I implementation of the Integrated Dynamic Transit Operations (IDTO) Prototype bundle within the Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) portion of the Connected Vehicle Program. It builds off of the previous system requirements report and adds site-specific requirements.

System Design and Architecture for the IDTO Prototype
Phase I Demonstration Site (Columbus):
This report documents the System Design and Architecture for the Phase I implementation of the Integrated Dynamic Transit Operations (IDTO) Prototype bundle within the Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) portion of the Connected Vehicle Program.

Transit Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Applications: Near Term Research and Development Transit Bus-Pedestrian/Cyclist Crossing Safety Application: Operational Concept:
The Pedestrian/Bicycle Crossing Safety application will alert/warn transit bus drivers as needed based on transit vehicle's intention of traveling across a crosswalk where pedestrians or bicycles may be present and assessed level of collision risk. The application allows messages to be sent to transit vehicle drivers via a driver-vehicle interface, providing an appropriate alert type, based on calculated level of collision risk.
The Operational Concept discusses the following scenarios:
* Scenario 1: Motor Bus traveling straight (Signalized intersection)
* Scenario 2: Motor Bus turning (Signalized intersection)
* Scenario 3: Motor Bus traveling straight (unsignalized intersection)
* Scenario 4: Motor Bus turning (Unsignalized intersection)
* Scenario 5: Motor Bus traveling straight (mid-block pedestrian crossing)
