Farming of marine bivalves provides high-quality protein and has a positive impact on the coastal environment. The U.S. is a top producer of the Manila clam (Japanese carpet shell, Ruditapes philippinarum) with reported sales of $31 M in 2019. Production of clams, however, has depended almost entirely on seed from wild stocks and natural recruitment, leaving the industry vulnerable to ocean change ...

Real-time monitoring of traffic conditions is crucial for improving traffic safety and efficiency, and there is an urgent need for the development of in situ traffic sensing & computing technologies leveraging the recent advancements in edge computing. This project will develop an edge computing and sensor fusion system for comprehensive traffic and road conditions data collection and efficient tr ...

While AI-based techniques have been broadly embraced by transportation researchers and professionals due to their huge potential to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of analyzing transportation data, they typically require a large dataset to train the models effectively and experience difficulties in supporting real-time transportation operations and management. This project will u ...

This SBIR effort proposes using live and continuous monitoring of metal tanks, pressure vessels, and pipelines using carbon nanomaterial-based sensing skins to detect excessive physical strains, cracks, and to inspect impact damage. The proposed research and development work leverages 15+ years of fundamental research. The key objective is to advance the TRL level and the scalability of carbon nan ...

In CMV operations, impaired alertness from driver fatigue contributes to a significant number of collisions and safety critical events. This project (through Phase II) will achieve a system to deliver an objective quantifiable measure of driver alertness based on the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT). This system will alert drivers when assessments indicate alertness deficits and support the timely ...

Public transit is particularly vulnerable to disruption and shocks from pandemics due to the collective nature of its mobility. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new needs to keep all facilities clean for the safety of people at all times. To prevent the spread of coronavirus through transit facilities, keeping surfaces disinfected is incredibly important. The aim of this project is to contribute ...

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...
