• Abstract:
  Infrastructure maintenance is very important for ensuring the efficiency of our transportation system. In 2020 alone, US Department of Transportation (DOT) spent a total of $24 billion dollars to preserve our national highway systems. In particular, the mobile and slow-moving operations, such as striping, sweeping, bridge flushing, and pothole patching, are critical for efficient and safe operation of a highway transportation system. Performing the maintenance required for a roadway infrastructure, however, could involve risks. The rapid advancement of Connected and Autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies is receiving attention from many State DOTs in the niche area of using Autonomous Maintenance Technology (AMT) to reduce DOT worker fatalities in work zones. One specific technology, the Autonomous Truck Mounted Attenuator (ATMA) vehicle, or sometimes referred to as Autonomous Impact Protection Vehicle (AIPV), is a quickly emerging technology and offers a promising solution to eliminate injuries to DOT employees. The objective of this report is to summarize the state-of-the-art, as well as the state-of-the-practice, of the AMT development. A brief review of mobile and slow-moving operation technology is provided first. Then, the Federal and State regulations for autonomous vehicles are reviewed, and how the ATMA system aligns with these regulations is analyzed. The progress from the ATM Pool Fund is summarized in the last section.
