Agenda July 10 - AVs and Incident Data in DC

[Michael Schnuerle]

Hello MDS Working Group,

Our next MDS working group meeting is this Thursday, July 10, 2025, at 9 am PT, 12 pm ET, and 6 pm CET.

Topic: AVs and Incident Data in DC

DC requires incident and crash reporting for autonomous vehicles, passenger services, and sidewalk delivery robots. DDOT receives baseline notification of crashes for AVs, and collision incident reports from personal delivery devices (PDDs), both in ad-hoc formats. DDOT would like to standardize this data in MDS, and allow other jurisdictions to use the MDS for incidents in these and other modes going forward.

Existing Background and Pre-work

• Incident and crash data discussion
• Incident draft proposal for 2.1
• Road Safety public meeting recording, notes, slides
