Safety, Mobility, Autonomy Research and Testing Track |
The University of Texas at Austin is working with regional transportation partners to design and construct a three-tier test track, the Texas SMARTTrack at the UT Pickle Research Campus in Austin.
Texas SMARTTrack will address cutting edge testing needs of the public and private sector related to infrastructure centric emerging technologies that enhance Safety and Mobility for all users of transportation infrastructure and facilitate development and adoption of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.
Texas SMARTTrack will be a neutral research and testing center which establishes independence for a standardized vetting process for all vendors. It is a platform for public-private collaboration on technology solutions and a proving ground to vet these technology solutions. Texas SMARTTrack is proposing a flexible design to simulate transportation conditions from rural to urban, and low to high speeds, on both open and closed testing loops.
