Award Data

Current access to and analysis of the Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) dataset requires significant time and technical skill. Data analysis tools are often general-purpose, designed to support the analysis of any dataset, and do not easily support the types of questions many transportation and safety engineers ask of the FARS data. Visualizations can help users understand relationships betwe ...

The project team will develop the EdMod platform for special education practitioners to enter and track information specific to IEPs, such as diagnosis classification, goals, and data collection of those goals. The platform will then generate research-based strategies for teachers to support students with or at risk for disabilities during classroom instruction or in testing. The platform will pre ...

In this project, the team will develop a performance-based lab for the high school level. The Inq-ITS Performance Based Labs for High School Physics and Physical Science will integrate "using mathematics" practices with other science practices to study physics/physical science phenomena. An accompanying teacher dashboard will generate immediate, diagnostic, and actionable alerts driven by algorith ...

In Phase II, ZKxKZ designed, developed and demonstrated an approach for fabrication and rapid installation of low cost modular mini-roundabouts made from recycled plastic boards. Phase II culminated in the installation of one full modular mini-roundabout in both Georgia and Virginia. In addition, 3 modular mini-roundabouts were commercially sold and installed in Canada prior to the SBIR funded sit ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) is pleased to propose the further design and development of MySidewalk mobile application facilitating the crowd-sourced collection of sidewalk inventory and condition data. The MySidewalk application utilizes advances in social networks and data mining to provide integrated sidewalk datasets. Phase I and II research was facilitated by inputs from City of Colle ...

In order to address various issues relating to digital element integration and execution for large-scale end-to-end capability evaluation of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to conduct research and development leading to the Integration, Verification &Validation for E2E Capability Evaluation for BMDS (INVICTUS) framework and supporting disc ...

Explosions and high-velocity impacts can create strain rates up to 106 s-1 in carbon-carbon composites (CCC). To simulate these events, first-principles codes require material models that are valid at these loading rates. Currently, the amount of test data, material models and material constants for this strain rate range is extremely limited, and an innovative and cost-effective laboratory test p ...

Q-Peak proposes a compact novel multifunction high-power isolator optical, leveraging several developed innovations into a robust package to allow a significant power and performance increase as compared to current fiber isolators. Specifically, the use of KTF as the Faraday medium and the integration of a fiber collimator and mode-stripper provides a path to extremely high forward and backwards p ...

Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) fired at the United States can be destroyed during their midcourse coast phase by an exo-atmospheric neutral beam of high velocity particles. Lynntech will determine the feasibility of modifying a TRL 5 magnetoplasma engine into a neutral beam emitter. Modification of the magnetic coil geometry and strength will be investigated to focus, collimate, and s ...

To meet the current and future power needs for space applications in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), high power and high energy storage technologies are necessary. Lithium-ion batteries have sufficient energy density to store energy in between solar charging, yet reduced performance at high rates of discharge and short cycle life. Ultracapacitors can operate efficiently at high rates of discharge, but lack ...
