The Geometry Track challenges predictive programming with its steep, complex angles. The track also includes both stop and through intersections involving both horizontal and vertical blind spots, designed to replicate real-world environments and pose unique testing conditions for emerging technologies.
The Geometry Track features a series of tight, two-lane/two-way streets for testing low-speed traffic. This sophisticated platform delivers unparalleled conditions to test and develop innovative transportation solutions in today’s highly progressive market. Tight course conditions test the subtleties and nuances associated with handling, guidance, skid resistance, and vertical maneuverability. Located in the west-central portion of the facility, the undulating topography with complex curves and irregular grade changes provides a distinct environment to test critical function, limited-sight conditions in connected and autonomous vehicles.
Steep grade conditions ranging from 10.6% to 28.9% test the maneuverability of the natural blind spots created by this terrain.
The following AASHTO classifications for this sector are based on turning radii and other geometric constraints.
Vehicle Length: 19 ft 5.8 m
Vehicle Length: 30 ft 9.1 m
