| Abstract | The SMART Wayfinding Specification is provided as an open source application programming interface (API) and defacto standard for transportation related app developers to interface with new or existing travel related applications, with the goal of promoting increased independence in transportation for travelers with disabilities and others with special travel needs. This standard is being developed through support from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Accessible Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI), a program of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office. The foundation of the SMART Wayfinding Specification is built upon a transportation application initially developed by AbleLink Smart Living Technologies, LLC. that has been successfully used since 2010 to enable more independent travel for individuals with cognitive disabilities. |
