The Autonomous TMA (ATMA) for Work Zones project features a multi-state application, led by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), and academia partners: Pennsylvania State University (PennState), University of California-Davis (UCD), University of Oklahoma, and University of Wisconsin. This project aims to build internal buy-in and partnerships at a national level, evaluate and integrate the technology under a diverse set of operational design domains and environments, and carry out the needed planning to identify and address current barriers that have prevented State DOTs from deploying the innovative technology at scale. These planning efforts are essential to support the Stage 2 implementation that will feature a variety of deployment of ATMA at each state, to significantly expand deployment of autonomous maintenance technology to operational design domains, environments, and scenarios that are critical for safety in work zones and also demonstrate proof of a DOT capability to integrate the innovation in their operations.
