Transportation Tech is the development and implementation of an online, on‐demand educational curricula for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Connected Vehicle (CV) technology. Transportation Tech content is designed and developed to encourage students to choose careers in ITS as well as train current ITS and CV technicians in the field. Through customized portals, at the end of the P ...

LI-COR proposes to continue development of a next-generation CO2/CH4/H2O analyzer that will offer an unprecedented combination of high precision and stability, making it the first highperformance gas analyzer suitable for long-term unattended operation. The instrument will be smaller, lighter, and far less expensive than competing technologies. LI-COR’s approach exploits a proprietary, revolutio ...

The objective of this proposal is to design a detailed curricula framework for an ITS and Connected Vehicle industry-recognized credential program. Titled Transportation Tech, the framework will serve as a basis for developing 3 levels of online credential training in each industry. The education and professional development of technicians in the ITS field is pivotal to the future of our nation’ ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a “Customer Based Mobility” application, named Liberty, for enhancing transportation options for vulnerable populations and senior citizens in rural and small urban communities. Utilization of technology for route optimization and customer trip booking in rural and small urban transportation agencies is currently ve ...

R-DEX Systems proposes to develop the TrackMap System, an innovative and groundbreaking long-range detection and warning system (DWS) for the detection of unlawful targets on the railroad right of way (ROW). TrackMap will leverage low-cost radar sensors, proven software, and high-performance embedded processing to enable the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and its safety partners to signific ...

The proposed research addresses Climate Adaptation and Mitigation: Probability Forecasts of Business Impact Variables from CFS2 Ensembles. Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN) develops innovative weather and climate forecast tools that support decision-oriented solutions for our clients. The focus of this proposal is on business-relevant subseasonal forecasts for the energy and agricultura ...

Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) proposes to redesign our existing Enhanced Tropospheric Effects Compensation ground-based radio occultation (RO) measurement system, which was developed, prototyped, and demonstrated under previous SBIR contracts, for the purpose of optimizing cost and performance. Assimilation of space-based RO measurements into numerical weather models is a proven met ...
