Features of test field
As one of JARI services, driving courses simulating the real city roads are lent out to perform experiments and tests, enable off-road vehicles to run, and carry out training, events, filming.

Features of the driving courses
Diverse course design options
- Multiple intersection options (2 lanes, 1 lane, right-turn lane, traffic signals)
- A circular track enabling long-distance driving
- Uphill roads, converging roads, blind curves
- Multi-purpose squares
Flexible settings
- Setting up blind curves using sight-blocking walls
- Changing the lane number/width using curbstone
Examples of driving course usage
The mock driving courses are useful for performing various experiments and tests, enabling off-road vehicles to run without legal restrictions, and staging events, training, filming.
- Risk simulation experiment
- Driver-supporting device evaluation experiment
- Vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-road communication experiment
- Experiment on the driver’s driving behavior
- Prototype vehicle running test
- Various types of trainin
- Various events
- Various types of filming
