The SunTrax Project sits on 475 Acres inside a 2.25 mile oval track for high speed testing of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV’s). CAV’s will be tested, advanced and readied for full-scale public deployment at this facility. Located off I-4 between Orlando and Tampa, SunTrax is a large-scale, cutting-edge facility being developed by the Florida Department of Transportation and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, dedicated to the research, development and testing of emerging transportation technologies in safe and controlled environments.
