ITE will be a sponsor of the upcoming GoMentum Station Summit launching the program for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s (CCTA) new Connected Vehicle/Autonomous Vehicle (CV/AV) Test Bed.
GoMentum Station in Concord, California is where CCTA leads and facilitates a collaborative partnership amongst multiple automobile manufacturers; OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers; communications companies; technology companies; researchers and academia; public agencies; and other partners to converge in the research, development, testing, validation, and commercialization of CV applications and AV technologies to define the next generation of transportation network infrastructure.
CCTA has secured access to the Concord Naval Weapons Station and has established protocols with the US Navy and the City of Concord to establish the Test Bed for its CV/AV Program with responsibility to operate and manage the Test Bed in collaboration with program partners.This 5,000–acre former Navy Weapons Station is the largest secure test facility in the world and will be the center of CV/AV activities.
Companies such as Honda, Mercedes Benz, Bosch, Nissan, Toyota, Audi, Volvo, and Google are some of the trailblazers in the AV field. Now in partnership with CCTA, several automobile manufacturers will test and validate their CV/AV technologies at the GoMentum Station Test Bed to advance their research and accelerate commercialization.
