🚗Request for Information on Automated Vehicle Research Opportunities
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (U.S. DOT) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) is seeking information from the public, industry, infrastructure owner/operators, and other stakeholders to inform coordinated national research supporting Automated Driving Systems (ADS) transportation technology deployment and realizing safe efficient operations on our Nation's roadways. ADS-equipped vehicles have significant potential to transform safety and mobility but in order for national deployment to scale effectively, research questions relating to the challenges and opportunities of ADS, including understanding disengagements, identifying factors that contribute or detract from reliable and consistent operations and interactions, and facilitating interoperable data standardization and real-time analytics, among others, are important to investigate further to support deployment and broad public acceptance.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is exploring Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Dataset- JavaScript Object Notation (Dataset-JSON) version 1.1 as a new exchange standard, with the long-term potential to replace Statistical Analysis System (SAS) version 5 XPORT Transport Format (XPT), for submission of electronic study data to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). FDA is requesting comments on whether to accept Dataset-JSON to exchange electronic study data as part of regulatory applications in the future. In particular, FDA is requesting feedback on the risks and benefits of industry adopting Dataset-JSON as a new exchange standard for submitting electronic study data to FDA and any integration challenges with existing tools and systems.
