Intelligent Dimension Evaluation and Alerting System (IDEAS)
SBC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES CORPORATION Topic: 111FH3Low 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 ...

Safer, Greener, User-Friendly Bus and Rail Transit
SBC: Bevilacqua-Knight Inc. Topic: 101FT1Our Phase I effort demonstrated that a small air/steam propulsion system could provide immediate power without a boiler, and that power could be varied by varying the ration of water and air in the propellant mix. In this proposed Phase II effort this same system will be scaled to a larger bench version for analysis of performance and efficiency. Following analysis of that data, the system will ...

Transportation System Performance Measurement Using Existing Loop Infrastructure
SBC: Iteris Inc. Topic: 102FH2Research finding during Phase I of this project have led the research team to conclude that it is feasible to use 60-Hz samples from single loop detectors in order to perform re-identification between loop detector stations on freeways. The method employed was robust to loop calibration errors, easily corrects for metadata concerning the exact location of the loops and demonstrated that it was po ...

Transportation Autonomous Device
SBC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES CORPORATION Topic: 101FR4Job 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 ...

Advanced Materials and Construction for Preformed Traffic Loops
SBC: ORINCON Topic: N/AWith their proven performance, reliability, and low cost, inductive loop sensors are widely employed in traffic monitoring and control. However, the presently used preformed loops suffer from frequent breakage induced by traffic or repaving operations - a need exists to develop a preformed inductive loop that can survive these stresses. Additionally, the performed loop should be immune to changi ...

Commercialization of DGPS Compression and Modeling Methods for Vehicle Use
SBC: SUB CARRIER SYSTEMS CORPORATION Topic: 102FH1The primary technical objective to be achieved during Phase II is the transition from the developed laboratory prototype, which clearly demonstrated the feasibility and superior outcomes of the approach, to a deployable system consisting of two key elements (the reference station - compression side and the rover - expansion side) and packaging them into a form suitable for commercial sales to earl ...

FH3ESYSC
SBC: E-SYSTEMS COMMUNICATIONS, CORP. Topic: 102FH3The goal of this research is to study the feasibility that mobile devices have the capabilities and accuracy to be used as positioning devices for connected vehicles programs. We will demonstrate this proposition by implementing positioning capturing apps using the build in GPS and accelerometers, and then enhancing it with Dead Reckoning and triangulated algorithms. We will show the capabilities ...

PDA-Based Portable Data Collection System for Commercial Vehicle Inspection
SBC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES CORPORATION Topic: 02FM1More than 1,300,000 Level 1 commercial vehicle inspections - a safety-critical, time-consuming, often difficult and painstaking process, especially as regards the brake inspection component -- are performed every year in the United States, under all sorts of weather and lighting conditions. The current technology used adds to the complexity and error potential inherent in this important task. In ...
