Low or narrow bridges are often hit by legal-sized commercial vehicles and oversize vehicles often strike regulation bridges. In both cases the accidents result in extensive property damage, possible personal injuries and even death, and increased traffic congestion. Past attempts to warn drivers of risks for bridge hits have failed due to inaccurate measurement, high rates of false alarms, or s ...

Job related injuries cost the railroads over $1 billion annually and from 2005 through 2008 30.3% of those injuries occurred in the rail yard. A majority of the accidents were attributed to slips, trips and falls from the worker slipping on ballast or tripping on other trackside objects. IEM is developing a Transportation Autonomous Device that may be configured to work autonomously, with a remote ...

"SSSC is pleased to propose the development and delivery of a Hostile Fire Indication Sensor (HFIS) based on the Phase I design concept. The resulting system will limit the number of circuit card assemblies to two: one for the short wave infrared (SWIR)

A road wheel suspension incorporating a semi-active damper and fast load leveling spring system will be developed for the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV). The system will be designed as a replacement for the currently fielded semi-active suspension system in the same foot print, either in early production units or as a retrofit package for incorporation later in the development cycle. A sus ...

This effort will develop dual intensified/thermal infrared algorithms and hardware technology to detect, identify and track human individuals.

HIGH-PRESSURE WATERJET IS ONE OF SEVERAL NEW METHODS FOR CUTTING MATERIALS DEVELOPED DURING THE LAST DECADE. CURRENTLY IT IS USED, AT STATIC WATER PRESSURE UP TO 60,000 PSI, TO CUT A WIDE VARIETY OF SOFT AND MEDIUM-HARD MATERIALS IN FACTORIES; IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED FOR GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATIONS WITH VERY LIMITED SUCCESS. THIS RESEARCH CONCERNS THE USE OF ABRASIVE-ENTRAINED WATERJET FOR CUTTING AND ...

A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT PROJECT SHOWING FEASIBILITY OF A SEMIAUTOMATIC SYSTEM INTEGRATING ILS, MLS AND EN ROUTE NAVIGATION FOR LIGHT AIRCRAFT IS PROPOSED. THE PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM IS TO INCREASE NAVIGATION PRESISION AND S D SIMPLICITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE RNAV AND MLS ENVIRONMENTS. THESYSTEM WOULD ALSO ENHANCE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CAPACITY, REDUCE PILOT WORKLOAD, AND IMPROVE SAFETY MARGINS. INFORMATION W ...

THIS PROGRAM DEALS WITH THE EVALUATION OF LIQUID LEVEL DETECTION DATA OBTAINED DURING THE MT-4 EXPERIMENT, WHICH IS THE LAST TEST PERFORMED IN THE LOCA SIMULATION IN NRU REACTOR PROGRAM. THESE DATA OFFER THE POTENTIAL OR RELATINGTHE ONLY FULL-LENGTH IN REACTOR REFLOOD INFORMATION ON N NUCLEAR-POWERED PWR FUEL BUNDLES TO COLLAPSED LIQUID LEVEL AND TWO-PHASE COOLING OF DEFORMED AND RUPTURED FUEL BUN ...

THIS PROGRAM DEALS WITH USING THE DIGITIZED VIDEO TDR LIQUIDLEVEL DATA PREPARED UNDER CONTRACT (NRC-04-84-146) OF THE MEMT-4 TEST FROM THE LOCA SIMULATION IN NRU PROGRAM. THESE NEW DATA AND TECHNIQUES WILL BE APPLIED TO ESTIMATE THE VOIDFRACTION, LIQUID LEVEL, AND LOCAL HEAT TRANFER CONDITIONS FOR THE OTHER NRU TESTS WHERE ONLY SELF POWERED NEUTRON DETECTORS (SPND'S) AND THERMOCOUPLE DATA ARE AVAI ...
