Visit to the Transpolis site

Wednesday 20 november from 14h00 to 17h00 - Option

TRANSPOLIS is an innovation and test platform located in the heart of Europe, in between Lyon (40km) and Geneva (200km). Thanks to CARA’s support, this SME was founded in 2011. Its mission is to support innovations for safe and sustainable mobility. The objective is to provide a place where a wide ecosystem of industries, service companies, or academic laboratories can join to develop and test their ideas, even producing 1:1 scale demonstrators in safe and confidential conditions. Transpolis Fromentaux site, a former military camp, has been completely adapted for this purpose. It features various tracks and amenities such as 30 hectares of urban environment, a 1 km long highway track, workshops, meeting rooms, etc.

In addition to its activities as an innovation platform and proving ground, Transpolis offers engineering services and operates two ISO 17025 accredited laboratories:

– One for road equipment to test safety barriers, bollards, etc. according to a wide range of European and international standards;

– One for vehicle testing, specialized in the validation of advanced driver assistance systems and connected and automated vehicles. It became a technical service of the French state in 2022, now able to produce official European type-approvals.
