4-Attachment G - Required Public Road Maneuvers and Operational Scenarios.pdf

This attachment defines the operational and safety requirements for autonomous vehicles operating in the City of Detroit's Accessibili-D 2.0 program, a phased initiative managed by the Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the Office of Mobility Innovation and Department of Transportation. The document specifies six categories of required maneuvers and operational scenarios that autonomous vehicles must safely perform on public streets within the defined service area. Basic driving functions include maintaining lane position on urban streets, safe following distances, smooth acceleration and deceleration, speed limit compliance, curve navigation, and controlled stopping during system faults. Intersection operations encompass both signalized and stop-controlled intersections, including protected and unprotected left turns, Michigan Left turns, and intersections with limited lane markings. Additional operational requirements include turning maneuvers on neighborhood streets, lane changes and merging, navigation around parked vehicles and minor obstructions, passenger service maneuvers such as curb-side boarding and alignment with designated pick-up and drop-off areas, and interactions with pedestrians and cyclists including detection, yielding, and response to unexpected movements.

The attachment serves as a technical specification document establishing the minimum performance standards for vehicles operating under Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Accessibili-D 2.0 contract, which involves transitioning from manually operated service to a hybrid manual-plus-autonomous vehicle model with progression toward majority autonomous operations. No pricing, timeline, award dates, or other contractual terms are specified in this attachment; it functions solely as an operational safety and capability requirement document for prospective vendors to understand vehicle performance expectations in the Detroit service area.
