PennSTART Closed Loop Testing Facility

under construction

PennSTART is a closed loop testing facility designed to accelerate innovation in emerging transportation technology. The first phase includes a high-speed test track and a multipurpose area for customized use. Future phases will add signalized and unsignalized intersections and urban and rural environment approximations to maximize test conditions. The facility will serve as a testing and training location for various vehicle types and technologies, including autonomous and connected vehicles, and support incident management training for first responders.
