“…13 However, the operator's trust in the autonomy was clearly shaken after the incidents. As other studies have shown (Dikmen and Burns 2017), including our previous deployment at JBMHH (Allen et al 2020), trust in AV goes up as people get more exposure to it or ride it. Contrary to this, the shuttle operators, who were given multiple surveys over time, indicated a drop in trust following the incident on 27 November 2020.…”

“…The human factors LOE followed the methodologies used in the Smart Base Autonomous Vehicle deployment at JBMHH to both replicate the successes and provide a direct comparison between the installations (Allen et al 2020). The research questions from that previous technical report, which this deployment at Fort Carson intended to answer, were:…”

“…Our previous study at JBMHH also discovered that people were more likely to recommend the AV after riding it, regardless of factoring in age or their working for the DoD (Allen et al 2020). Therefore, we wanted to determine if people were more hesitant before riding the vehicle and if that hesitance was caused by a previous lack of experience with technology.…”

“…Fort Carson leadership used our previous study at JBMHH for planning their deployment (Allen et al 2020), including many discussions about which routes would best serve the soldiers and result in highest ridership. Once the commander's team had decided on a route that catered to the new troops who had just arrived on the installation and would most likely not own a vehicle, the leadership printed route pamphlets and posted signs at the stops as shown in Figure 10 The original planning had the route starting at the Ivy Replacement Center; the barracks where all new soldiers on the installation could take advantage of the shuttle.…”

In this work, a smart transportation testbed was utilized at Fort Carson to demonstrate three use cases for the primary purpose to plan, develop, demonstrate, and employ autonomous vehicle technologies at military installations and within the surrounding communities to evaluate commercially available Connected and Automated Vehicles and the potential to reduce base operating costs, improve safety and quality of life for military service members and their families, and deliver services more efficiently and effectively. To meet this purpose, an automated vehicle shuttle, an unmanned aerial system, and a wireless network were used and tested during the project. Results for the automated shuttle indicated that despite the quantity of data generated by operations, the contractors may not be ready to share information in a readily usable format. Additionally, successful use by the public is predicated on both knowing their mobility pat-terns and staff members promoting trust in the technology to prospective riders. Results for the unmanned aerial system showed successful identification of foreign object debris and runway cracks at the airfield. The wireless network is now operational and is used for additional work which utilizes the installed traffic cameras.
