Whether refining an AI vision model, assessing driver reactions to new signage, or stress-testing a roadside sensor package, eXplore\u00a0<\/span>Labs gives agencies and industry partners a controlled, high-fidelity environment to prove performance and safety, then scale with\u00a0<\/span>confidence.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>The Rural Roads Test Track, part of the eXplore Labs facility, allows real-world testing of curve advisory systems, sensor technologies, and automated data collection tools. This closed-course environment enables safe, repeatable trials prior to public deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>toXcel\u2019s Mobile Driving Simulator, developed through eXplore Labs, enables field-based driver behavior research. It supports controlled studies on distraction, workload, and reaction time in dynamic driving environments such as work zones and detours.<\/span><\/p>\n
