ACM is part of the PlanetM, a collaboration of private industry, government and institutions of higher learning that aims to change the way people and goods are transported across all modes of transportation.
Both partners will design a cloud-based Data Management and Analytics Platform (DMAP) solution that is based on Microsoft’s Azure, to collect, store and analyse data from tests conducted within the facility. ACM and its partners will utilise Azure and the DMAP to accelerate the development of C/AV technologies, apps and industry standards.
John Maddox, ACM president and chief executive officer, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Microsoft in our efforts to lead the world in the safe development of CAV technologies and to enable the safe deployment of these vehicles onto the nation’s roads. By adding Big-Data to our diverse and growing group of stakeholders and world-class partners, ACM is staking its claim as the preeminent global hub for mobility companies to develop and test their connected technologies and vehicles in a safe and controlled environment.”
Based on a 500-acre site, ACM’s infrastructure includes a 2.5-mile highway loop, a 700-foot curved tunnel, two double overpasses, intersections and roundabouts.
The project’s next phase will add an urban intersection this Summer, followed by a series of building facades and additional urbanised infrastructure expected by the end of the year.
