Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) received two federal grants to develop innovations to enhance work zone safety in Wisconsin. Funding is available through the first round of the new federal SMART Grants Program for these two programs:
- To develop technology for a prototype autonomous truck-mounted attenuator (ATMA) to shield maintenance and construction workers from errant drivers. The ATMA is a crash cushion attached to the rear of a vehicle to absorb the impact of a crash. This project will receive over $1.8 million from the grant.
- To extend the Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) to the local road network using smart work zone devices. WZDx incorporates real-time information on road conditions, such as lane closures in work zones, and shares the data through the 511 Wisconsin Traveler Information System at 511wi.gov and via the mobile app. Wisconsin will receive $250,000 purchase additional smart zone devices, such as connected arrow boards or connected location markers.
Two Wisconsin airports will receive federal finding through the FAA Contract Tower Program for fiscal year 2023. Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee will receive $608,000 and Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh will receive $200,000 for improved operations and safety.
Funding for both projects will enhance airfield safety. The project for Central Wisconsin Airport will replace non-standard equipment in a tracking system and improving radio communication between the tower and on-the-ground support vehicles. Wittman Regional Airport’s project will replace old control tower equipment.
