Zone 1: Willow Run Tunnel
The historic 700-foot Willow Run bypass tunnel provides a controlled underground environment for vehicle acoustics testing, lighting system validation, and emergency scenario simulation.
A 500-acre campus and proving ground for the technologies shaping the future of mobility.
With miles of test track, real-world testing environments, garage labs, and an EV charging interoperability testbed, ACM is where the future of mobility goes to prove itself.
At the American Center for Mobility, you have access to a comprehensive mobility testing ecosystem all on one campus.
Where innovation gets proven
ACM provides a full suite of testing services for the technologies redefining the future of mobility. Our proving ground delivers on-road and off-road tracks, high and low-speed environments, specialized equipment, and network infrastructure.
Federally backed. Consortia driven.
ACM leads, partners on, and hosts mobility R&D programs alongside federal agencies, national laboratories, and industry, advancing the work that turns mobility breakthroughs into reality.

The historic 700-foot Willow Run bypass tunnel provides a controlled underground environment for vehicle acoustics testing, lighting system validation, and emergency scenario simulation.
Multi-surface off-road environment featuring gravel, dirt, and rough-terrain sections for suspension calibration, all-terrain vehicle validation, and drivetrain durability runs.
Named after Michigan's mobility initiative, this multi-lane boulevard replicates real-world urban driving with signalized intersections, lane markings, and mixed traffic scenarios.
A signature ACM structure featuring three stacked driving surfaces for complex interchange merge/diverge testing, multi-level V2I communications, and elevated sensor validation.
High-speed oval loop simulating interstate highway conditions at up to 80+ mph. Used for AV lane-keeping, platooning, emergency maneuver validation, and radar sensor characterization.
Signalized four-lane urban arterial road with synchronized traffic signals, bus stops, and pedestrian crossings to replicate dense city driving and signal phase timing research.
Open-format configurable test pads available in East and West configurations. Partners define their own environments with custom line markings, obstacle layouts, and prop placements.
A complex six-way intersection designed to stress-test AV decision-making, signal compliance, multi-vehicle conflict resolution, and turn behavior prediction algorithms. It offers FMVSS 2-degree grades, ADAS, NCAP, Euro-NCAP, and headlamp testing.
Dedicated innovation zone for infrastructure technology prototyping including RSU installation, dynamic message signs, connected intersection equipment, and edge computing nodes.
Dedicated multi-use paths and crossings for testing vehicle-to-pedestrian detection, cyclist interaction, VRU safety systems, and NCAP pedestrian scenario protocols at low speed.
Dense urban streetscape with building facades creating GPS-denied zones to evaluate sensor fusion performance, LiDAR accuracy, and dead-reckoning algorithms under GNSS outage.
Full-size structured parking facility for validating autonomous valet systems, parking guidance algorithms, congestion management logic, and tight-space sensor performance.
Primitive two-track trail surfaces replicating rural and wilderness driving for off-road autonomy validation, trail navigation, and rough-terrain AV testing with reduced infrastructure.
State-of-the-art indoor facilities with dynamometers, environmental simulation chambers, and diagnostic bays for hardware-in-the-loop and component-level validation testing.
The ACM Foundation building serves as the campus' administrative and collaboration hub, hosting conferences, media events, partner meetings, and R&D program briefings.
The premier multi-standard EV charging testbed supporting CCS, CHAdeMO, J1772, MCS, and wireless charging validation — a national resource for EV infrastructure certification.
Whether you are testing technology, hosting an event, or bringing a product to market, ACM is ready when you are.
