Scope:

Note: As requested by the responsible SDO, this NOI being reissued as the standard was in the initial stages of development for more than 12 months. An additional comment period of March 5 to March 26, 2024 (originally published on April 25, 2023).

The Accessibility for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV) standard outlines requirements for CAVs that operate or are intended to operate on both on-road and off-road environments. The primary focus of this document is to develop a standard that enhance the accessibility of CAVs. The scope of this document is inclusive of a broader range of users with disabilities, including but not limited to those who have physical impairments (related to both the vehicle and infrastructure), perceptual impairments (related to perception and sensation), cognitive impairments (related to perception and understanding), and those who require access services such as transportation and mobility aids. The document also covers safety and security concerns, including cybersecurity and safety issues related to multiple accessibility domains.

 

Project need:

To support the advancement and deployment of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) by providing infrastructure requirements for their safe installation and operation within the North American context. The proposed standard is being developed in response to requests from industry and manufacturers and will provide technical requirements and safety standards necessary for the safe operation of CAVs across multiple accessibility domains. By developing such a standard, we can increase the likelihood of adoption by CAV developers and service providers, and ultimately remove barriers to inclusion.
