Award Data

A key capability of Intelligent Transportation Systems is communications between the vehicles and the infrastructure and between the vehicles themselves. In particular, vehicles on the roadways carry a wealth of information on their position and velocity that, when aggregated with that from many other vehicles, provides a rich resource for traffic management. The key component is accurate vehicle ...

Antara Teknik will develop and commercialize a comprehensive line of low-cost, high performance Software Defined Network Solutions in order to accelerate the deployment and adoption of Border Gateway Protocol with Security (BGPSEC). The innovative taraEosTM Open Architecture BGPSEC compliant edge-router and crypto offload devices featuring the NIST SRx will improve the safety of the Internet criti ...

Seacoast Science has licensed, for the purpose of technology transfer, the NIST patent “Recirculating Temperature Wave Focusing Chromatography,” with the goal of implementing the technology into a unique environmental monitor. Seacoast believes the NIST technology can improve Seacoast’s environmental monitor, allowing for an order of magnitude cost reduction for long-term monitoring at remed ...

Toyon proposes development of a system which performs automated analysis of images for fish population monitoring and fishing regulation enforcement application. The proposed system is capable of processing images collected from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), as well as images collected using electronic monitoring (EM) cameras used to observe fish catc ...

Piasecki Aircraft (PiAC) proposes to continue development and testing efforts of the Whimbrel UAS, a low cost, expendable, air-deployed weather survey unmanned aircraft system. The Whimbrel UAS, a low cost, expendable, air-deployed weather survey unmanned aircraft system. The Whimbrel USA has been developed to support the Tropical Cyclone Boundary Layer mission requirements and contains sensors an ...

This proposal leverages our current DOT-funded SBIR Phase II project developing software to assist truck drivers and companies to fatigue optimize driver scheduling and route planning. This project will build a set of web-services specially designed to provide objective quantitative feedback to truck drivers, dispatchers, and safety managers about fatigue from fatigue stressors common in trucking ...

Welding of HPS70W is well understood when using submerged arc welding (SAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) techniques. A Welding Advisory Group (WAG) which consisted of technical advisors from the Navy, AISI, and FHWA, major filler metal manufacturers, and steel producers determined the guidelines for welding HPS70W. As a result, comprehensive guidelines and welding procedures exist for SAW ...

THE FEASIBILITY OF SMART CARDS FOR THE PUBLIC TRANSIT INDUSTRY HAS NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED. THERE IS A PERCEPTION THAT SMART CARDS CAN BE USED TO REDUCE THE TOTAL TRANSACTIONCOSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FARE PAYMENT, TO IMPROVE SECURITY, REDUCE FRAUD AND IMPROVE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND RIDERSHIP. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THESE CLAIMS; THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY R ...

OUR PROPOSAL DEFINES A DETAILED APPROACH TO DEVELOP A HIGH DENSITY ACOUSTIC ARRAY TO MONITOR AMBIENT ACOUSTIC CONDITIONS. WE PROPOSE AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH INVOLVING PASSIVE INTERROGATION OF FIBER OPTIC INTERFEROMETRIC SENSORSWHICH REQUIRE NO ELECTRONICS TO OPERATE THE TELEMETRY OR SENSORS. THE PROPOSED CONFIGURATION UTILIZING RUGGED SILICAMATERIALS IS CAPABLE OF HIGH ACCURACY OVER SEVERE ENVIRONM ...

VARIOUS TYPES OF RAPID SOLIDIFICATION PROCESSES, RSP, ARE CRITICAL AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGIES SUPPORTING THE TRANSITION FROM NICKEL BASED SUPERALLOYS TO BIMETALLIC ALLOYS. PULSED LASER HOLOGRAPHY OFFERS THE POTENTIAL FOR RESOLVING THE MICROSCOPIC DETAILS OF RSP ATOMIZATION, OSPREY, AND PLASMA DEPOSITION PROCESSES; THEREBY PROVIDING INFORMATION TO IMPROVE AND CONTROL THE PROCESS. DESIRABLE ASPECTS OF P ...
