THIS DOCUMENT IS AN SBIR TECHNICAL PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO THEFEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION BY DELTA INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. IN RESPONSE TO SBIR SOLICITATION NUMBER 91-FA11. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED PROGRAM IS TO INVESTIGATE, ANALYZE, AND DESIGN ALTERNATIVE DATA COMPRESSION SYSTEMS TO EFFICIENTLY TRANSMIT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL DISPLAY DATA FROM MAJOR AIRPORTS TO SMALLER SATELLITE AIRPORTS ON LI ...

THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYPE OF PRECIPITATION (RAIN, SNOW, FOG/HAZE, HAIL) HAS TRACTIONALLY RELIED ON HUMAN JUDGMENT. RECENTLY, THE WAVE PROPAGATION LABORATORY OF DEVELOPED A TECHNOLOGY FOR AUTOMATIC WEATHER IDENTIFICATION USING LASER SCINTILLATION AND SCATTERING. THE TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY TESTED IN FIELD OPERATION. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM IS TOO CLUMSY AND EXPENSIVE FOR LARGE-SCALE FIELD ...

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 ...

THE PROPOSED PHASE I WORK WILL DEVELOP A CRITICAL SECTOR DETECTOR TOOL CONCEPT THAT WORKS. THE TOOL WILL EVALUATE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER WORKLOAD. IT WILL ANALYZE THE TASK REQUIREMENTS OF HUMAN CONTROLLERS, CALCULATE WORKLOAD FOR THE VARIOUS CONTROLLER POSITIONS OF A SECTOR TEAM, AND COMPARE WORKLOAD ESTIMATES WITH SATURATION LIMITS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL OVERLOADS. IT WOULD ALLOW AIR TRAFFIC CONTR ...

A SIX MONTH PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A RUGGED NEW DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE ONSET OF ICE FORMATION ON SURFACES OF TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES, ROADS, BRIDGES AND AIRCRAFTS, WILL BE DEVELOPED AND A PROTOTYPE WILL BE LABORATORY TESTED. THE NOVEL GAGE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS PARTLY BASED ON THE TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO MEASURE CONDUCTIVITY OF SOLUTIONS. BASED ON EXISTING TECHNOLOGY, AND ALREADY TESTED UNDER HIGH ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP A METHODOLOGY AND A PROTOTYPE DESIGN FOR A SYSTEM CAPABLE OF PREDICTING FAILURE OF ROTATING PARTS IN TURBINE ENGINES. SCT PROPOSES AN INNOVATIVE, INTEGRATED APPROACH THAT ASSIMILATES DATA FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES TO TREND ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND HEALTH. INDICATIONS OF COMPONENET FAILURE WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND ACTUAL DATA WILL BE COMPARED AGAINST THE INDICAT ...
