The facility is designed to reproduce a wide variety of driving environments that would otherwise be difficult or unsafe to test on public roads. According to Isuzu, it will include simulated urban streets, suburban roads, gradients, parking zones, highway entry and exit ramps, as well as ADAS testing areas. Traffic infrastructure such as traffic lights, bus stops, dedicated bicycle lanes, railway crossings, V2X equipment, and electronic speed limit signage will allow engineers to simulate complex real-world traffic situations.
