By enabling early hazard detection, smarter signal operations, and seamless communication between vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure, these systems reduce conflicts, prevent high-risk crashes, and support safer travel for everyone.
Full-scale lab equipped with live signal cabinets, multiple ATC controllers, video detection, and DSRC/5G connectivity for hands-on experimentation.
Enables engineers to test vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and V2X communications, including signal priority, collision avoidance, and vulnerable user safety services.
Provides a dedicated environment for traffic engineers and technicians to learn, test, and prepare for future CAV signal operations and interoperability challenges.
Supports traffic professionals across Contra Costa County and the Bay Area through collaboration between public agencies, research institutions, and private technology partners—reducing the need for cities to use their own limited maintenance resources for CAV testing.

The V2x Signal Lab represents a major step toward preparing California’s transportation infrastructure for the era of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). Designed and developed by AMG under CCTA’s leadership, the lab provides a controlled, real-world environment where traffic engineers can test CAV hardware, software, and communication systems before field deployment.
The lab houses multiple ATC signal controllers from different vendors, DSRC/5G communication devices, and traffic signal components that mirror real intersection operations. Engineers can simulate full intersection control, run safety scenarios, and test interoperability between OBUs (On-Board Units) and signal controllers—ensuring reliable and safe CAV crossings.
Beyond technical testing, the CAV-Sig Lab also serves as a training hub for both public and private sector professionals. It gives practitioners the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies like Advanced Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM), Emergency Vehicle Preemption, V2V, V2I, V2P, and V2C communications—building the workforce capacity needed for the next generation of smart mobility.
By combining research, training, and applied innovation, the V2X Signal Lab strengthens the region’s readiness for connected vehicle integration and helps accelerate the transition toward safer, smarter, and more efficient roadways.
