Abstract
INDOT reported 153 truck mounted attenuator (TMA)-related accidents between 2016 and 2021. The autonomous TMA (ATMA) removes the driver from the TMA to enhance their safety; however, the functionality and workers’ perception of ATMA must be assessed comprehensively before its implementation in INDOT. This presentation summarizes the findings from 25 closed- road tests and five weeks of field tests of ATMA under four maintenance activities.
