Since CAV technology is still under development, market penetration is still low and the general population\u2019s exposure has been minimal. Most knowledge about the public\u2019s attitudes on CAVs have stemmed from national surveys and small-scale pilots. Despite the variety of methods and surveys deployed in the U.S. to study CAVs, currently little is known about Wisconsin specific attitudes towards them. This work presents the results of a detailed study of the Wisconsin public\u2019s understanding of CAVs through a large-scale (N=915) survey based on a random sample of Wisconsin households.&nbsp; The results include Wisconsinites\u2019 acceptance of early testing; their perceived benefits, drawbacks, and barriers to CAV implementation; and the implications for potential WisDOT action.<br><br>Results indicate that Wisconsinites were generally willing to share the road with vehicles equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), were moderately comfortable with connected vehicle (CV) technologies, and not comfortable with automated vehicle (AV) systems. Results for willingness to use CAVs saw the same order of technology preference as comfort sharing the road. An exploratory factor analysis and latent class cluster analysis were conducted and yielded six factors and 5 latent clusters. These factors and clusters were used to create profiles of the Wisconsin population and document their attitudes and attributes.<br><br>The presentation will document the work conducted and results. The key takeaways will include public perceptions of CAV technology and ways to use this data to target effective projects and communications.<\/td><td>Brad Basten, WisDOT; Andrew McFadden, UW Madison TOPS Lab<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em><strong><strong>Digital-Twin-Enabled Connected Intelligent Transportation to Enhance Vulnerable Road User Safety<\/strong> <\/strong><\/em><br>In the rapidly evolving landscape of transportation, integrating AI and connected intelligent transportation presents transformative opportunities.

To better understand system changes associated with the pedestrian safety crisis, we compared police-reported fatal and serious injury (K&amp;A) pedestrian crashes from nine states, including Wisconsin, between 2008-2012 and 2017-2021. This presentation summarizes findings by neighborhood (census tract) and by hour of the week. Nationally, low-income, high-unemployment, and racial and ethnic minority populations were overrepresented in K&amp;A pedestrian crashes in 2008-2012, and these groups were more likely to experience increases in K&amp;A pedestrian crashes during the 2010s. Neighborhoods with at least one high-traffic arterial roadway, an interstate or other type of freeway, and higher proportions of retail jobs were also significantly more likely than other tracts to experience increases in K&amp;A pedestrian crashes. Temporally, K&amp;A pedestrian crashes were most likely to occur between 6 pm and midnight, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. However, the largest increases during the 2010s were between midnight and 6 am on weekdays, suggesting a time shift in pedestrian and motor vehicle activity levels or pedestrian and driver behaviors. In addition to national results, we will share preliminary findings from a Wisconsin pedestrian crash trend analysis and local practitioner interviews.<br><\/td><td>Bob Schneider, UW-Milwaukee<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Safety (10:45 a.m. &#8211; 12 noon) Room W191 &#8211; Moderator Casey Newman, WisDOT<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<figure class=\"uwm-c-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Topics<\/th><th>Presenter(s)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>Countermeasures to Prevent and Mitigate Bridge Hits by Motor Vehicles<\/em><\/strong><br>Learn more about the recently completed NCHRP study on preventing and mitigating the risk of bridge\/tunnel strikes by motor vehicles.

Traditional approaches often focus on correcting human errors or improving infrastructure in isolation. However, the Safe System Approach recognizes that human errors are inevitable and thus emphasizes creating a transportation system that is forgiving and resilient to these errors. This presentation explores the synergy between engineering interventions\u2014such as road design, vehicle technology, and traffic management\u2014and behavioral strategies, including education, enforcement, and community engagement, to cultivate safer road environments. By examining case studies and data-driven examples, this presentation demonstrates how a collaborative approach that combines both disciplines can significantly reduce road traffic incidents. The goal is to outline a pathway to zero fatalities, emphasizing that safety is a shared responsibility among engineers, policymakers, and road users. This presentation will also discuss the challenges and opportunities in implementing the Safe System Approach, particularly in diverse urban and rural settings, and provide actionable insights for practitioners committed to advancing road safety toward the ultimate goal of zero fatalities.<\/td><td>Andi Bill, UW Madison TOPS Lab<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--header\">Mobility, Sustainability and Equity (10:45 a.m. &#8211; 12 noon) Fireside Lounge &#8211; Moderator Lea Collins-Worachek, WisDOT<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel\"><div class=\"uwm-p-accordion--panel-inner uwm-u-clear\">\n<p class=\"size-p-md\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"uwm-c-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Topics<\/th><th>Presenter(s)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong><em><strong>Milwaukee County Department of Transportation Complete Communities:&nbsp; Increasing Multimodal Safety and Addressing Reckless Driving Across 19 Municipalities<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><br>Milwaukee County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is in its second year of the Complete Communities Transportation Planning Project.&nbsp; This is an effort to increase multimodal safety and address reckless driving across all 19 municipalities in Milwaukee County.&nbsp; With support from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and as part of the USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, Milwaukee County is working collaboratively with municipal leaders across the County to develop a comprehensive, data-driven, countywide plan.
