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 ...

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 ...

IN MANY TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS INVOLVING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL ARE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CHEMICALS INVOLVED WHETHER THE CHEMICALS ARE RELEASED OR NOTEVEN WHEN APPROPRIATE PAPERS OF HELP FROM THE SHIPPERS ARE AVAILABLE, PRECIOUS TIME IS LOST BEFORE PROPER IDENTI- IFICATION CAN BE MADE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK ISTO DEVELOP A MICROPROCESSOR BASED CHEMICAL IDENTIFICATI ...

THIS RESEARCH FOCUSES ON DETERMINING THE FEASIBILITY OF UF USING EXPERT SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT (RATHER THAN REPLACE) HUMAN DECISION MAKERS. WE INTEND TO SHOW THE FEASIBILITY OF USING EXPERT SUPPORT SYSTEMS (ESS) FOR AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.THIS RESEARCH WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE INTELLIGENT MAN/ MACHINE INTERFACES FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AND WILL SHOW THEFEASIBILITY OF USING ESS FOR REMOTE MONITORING ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO SHOW THE FEASIBILITY OF USING AN EXPERT SYSTEM TO AID THE PILOT OF GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT. THE NEED INCREASINGLY EXISTS ON SMALLER AIRCRAFT TO PERFORM ERROR DETECTION AND CORRECTION AND PROCEDURAL ASSISTANCE. ISSUES OF HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING ARE INCLUDEDIN THIS PROJECT INCLUDING COLOR CODING, ALERTS, ETS. THE SINGLE PILOT OFTEN NEEDS MORE HELP THAN TWO-AND T ...
