Texas A&M Transportation Institute and Neology Extend Research Partnership to Support Mobility Innovation
Now complete, the Neology Transportation Research Center at The Texas A&M University System’s RELLIS Campus offers state-of-the-art research and development testing facilities to advance the industry as a whole
SAN DIEGO and BRYAN, Texas, March 11, 2021 — The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and Neology, Inc., today announced that they have completed the Neology Transportation Research Center (TRC) and extended their long-term master research agreement for an additional five years, with an optional five-year extension. The new facilities will help accelerate the vision for smart cities and safer communities by advancing next-generation technologies in the mobility industry.
TTI is located at The Texas A&M University System’s 2,000-acre RELLIS Campus in Bryan, Texas. TTI is a university-based transportation research agency focused on addressing complex transportation challenges and advancing technology in emerging transportation fields, making the Institute an ideal partner for the Neology TRC to design, develop and test innovative mobility solutions at the TTI Proving Ground.
The TRC is an open, scalable and flexible test site for new tolling and intelligent transportation system (ITS) solutions for driverless and connected vehicles. At its core, the center is a one-mile test track that supports vehicle speeds up to 100 mph and includes two test gantries that can accommodate the deployment of future technologies, as well as a state-of-the-art observation center for demonstrations and test viewing.
“Neology is a valued private industry partner for TTI, and we are pleased to extend our research agreement and collaborative activities in the development and testing of ITS technologies,” said Greg Winfree, TTI agency director. “These innovative technologies will help drive the future of mobility and connected transportation initiatives for many years to come.”
“We are excited to expand our valuable partnership with TTI and celebrate the completion of the TRC research and development facility. We are ramping up activities to full-scale and further collaborating with industry leaders and future innovators to bring practical, adaptive and sustainable solutions to our industry,” said Joe Mullis, general manager of Neology.
