PRESS RELEASE:

World’s First Laboratory To Help Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
Talk to Traffic Signals Opens in Metro Atlanta
iATL Brings Together Auto, Technology and Communications Industries in One Laboratory

ATLANTA — For the first time, automakers, cellular network operators, traffic control device companies and semiconductor manufacturers have a single technology hub to advance the deployment of and showcase connected vehicle safety applications. The Infrastructure-Automotive Technology Laboratory (iATL) opened January 10 in Alpharetta, GA.

The iATL includes dozens of different types of electronic devices that control everything from traffic
signals to school zone safety beacons to electronic crosswalks. Automakers are able to develop
interactive safety apps that interact with the devices and cellular network operators will work out
communications including 5G.

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 using all forms of communications simultaneously – 4G LTE,
Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X), Dedicated Short Range Radio (DSRC) and 900 MHz radio,
underwritten by the North Fulton Community Improvement District.

FACT SHEET:

Save Lives, Improve Traffic, Drive Commerce and Help the Environment

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.
The iATL is open to all organizations with an interest in advance safety through connected vehicle
technology including departments of transportation, university researchers, planning agencies,
automakers, mobile network operators, transportation infrastructure companies, technology companies and transportation industry consultants.
The iATL was established to encourage innovators to test connected vehicle technology in a real
streetscape setting featuring real-world interferences and obstructions.
The lab is strategically located amid the first large-scale deployment of connected vehicle infrastructure technology using all forms of communications simultaneously – 4G LTE, Cellular Vehicle to Everything (C-V2X), Dedicated Short Range Radio (DSRC) and 900 MHz radio. The area around the iATL provides a diverse range of topography, vegetation, seasonal weather, construction and other variables for testing to insure robust communication between vehicles and the infrastructure.
The primary function of the iATL is to serve as an engineering technical facility for testing the functionality and performance of connected vehicle applications between the transportation infrastructure and motor vehicles, the infrastructure and vulnerable road users, motor vehicles and vulnerable road users and other configurations.
The approximately 4,400 square-foot facility houses dozens of different types of electronic devices that control everything from traffic signals to school zone safety beacons to electronic crosswalks. Automakers are able to develop interactive safety apps that interact with the devices and cellular network operators will work out communications including 5G.
A board of advisors will help guide the iATL’s governance. The first Executive Director of the iATL is Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information, Inc. and sponsor of the iATL.
The iATL is in technology-heavy Alpharetta, GA, just north of Atlanta the North American Headquarters of Mercedes Benz and Porsche and the ATT Drive Studio. The iATL is located at 11345 Haynes Bridge Road, Alpharetta, GA 30022 (intersection of Haynes Bridge and GA 400).
