WisDOT Emergency Traffic Control and Scene Management Guidelines were established to provide incident responders within the state of Wisconsin a uniform approach to emergency traffic control and scene management. Having a uniform approach will help provide the safest possible work environment for all Wisconsin incident responders, while minimizing the risk of secondary crashes.
Law enforcement and first responder training module
It is critical that law enforcement and first responders be informed and trained on how to manage automated or semi-automated vehicles on the roadway or at a crash scene. Semi-automated vehicles are already on the road and traveling to all corners of the state. WisDOT is working with the TIME coalition to keep these groups informed of the latest developments in CAVs. Law enforcement and first responders can obtain CAV training through the TIME coalition.
Law enforcement and first responder training package
A sample of the full CAV training program can be downloaded here. It is recommended that you contact the TIME coalition to arrange training with a TIM trainer; however, the Law Enforcement and First Responder training PowerPoint file will have all the information in the notes needed to deliver the training package without any previous CAV background.
For questions or to receive the PowerPoint slides of the first responder training, contact Brad Basten at wiscav@dot.wi.gov
