Grand Opening of iATL: Infrastructure Automotive Technology Laboratory

January 13, 2020 by Mike

Cars talking to cars. Cars talking to traffic signals. The future is now. Connected Vehicle Technology has arrived.

The Infrastructure Automotive Technology Laboratory (iATL) is the first facility in the world where automakers and transportation infrastructure manufacturers can imagine, create and test technology and applications for connected vehicles to communicate with traffic signals and other smart roadside traffic control equipment.

The iATL is a private-sector led and funded initiative designed to help accelerate the deployment of connected vehicle technology by bringing together the various industry sectors to create applications that improve safety on the nation’s roadways.

Another unique feature of the iATL is that automakers can test safety applications in real-world conditions in the streets of Alpharetta which operates the first large-scale deployment of connected vehicle infrastructure technology.

State and regional representatives, along with industry leaders, attended the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting in Alpharetta, GA on January 10, 2020. As part of the “TravelSafely with Bryan Mulligan” series, Business RadioX was on site to interview many of the featured speakers and panelists.

David Shavzin/The Value Track

David Shavzin created The Value Track to help business owners build value and create a path towards a successful exit. Too often, they have not built the value they need and are unprepared when the time comes to put their transition into action.

Since 2000, David has helped business owners get on The Value Track. He helps them think through their long-term goals and plans, educates them on business value and brings the right collaborative advisory team around the table. He then assists in the implementation of value-growth initiatives, guiding them to a successful transition (sale, family transfer, etc.). His 7-step process improves their quality of life and allows them to exit on their own terms.

A frequent speaker on these topics, David is a CMC, former IMC Georgia chapter president, and President and Co-Founder of Exit Planning Exchange Atlanta, formed to bring advisors together in a collaborative effort to serve their clients.

The Mitsubishi Electric Classic proudly stands as a premier golf tournament on the PGA TOUR Champions, but this event is much more than a golf tournament.

The events and activities associated with the Mitsubishi Electric Classic provide an all-inclusive, entertaining atmosphere and the beautiful views of TPC Sugarloaf serve as a backdrop for world-class golf and provide the perfect venue to mingle with friends and business leaders while watching the legends of the game.

The event, which will benefit local charities through the Gwinnett Championship Foundation Inc., has raised over $2.3 million since the first tournament in 2013. All three rounds of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic are televised internationally by the Golf Channel.
