Additional passenger fatalities and injuries can occur in rollover-type derailment accidents due to failures of glazing retention mechanisms on passenger railcars. In recent accidents, a key failure mode is shearing off the external rubber gasket that secures the glazing panes as the side of the railcar drags along the ground. Once the gasket fails, the glazing pane is pushed inside, leaving an op ...

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. An ever present and fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping to quickly locate and correctly identify targets from vast quantities of image data. Despi ...

While purchase of e-buses has accelerated in recent years, its adoption is still in its infancy, and transit agencies face technological, financial and institutional challenges. Amongst the range of technical challenges, charging infrastructure and power limitations create major barriers for evaluation of the appropriate model and type of e-bus. A significant challenge is the relatively low energy ...

This project intends to develop a sensor system that allows in-situ measurement of concrete’s pore solution resistivity, to supplement existing procedures for durability assessment. The innovation includes one or more sensors that are embedded inside concrete and a mobile measuring device to interrogate the sensor.Phase I project will explore candidate body materials for the sensor, manufacturin ...

Micro-Raman technology, that is embedded on a smartphone Platform. Micro-Raman will be a fraction the size of existing systems and fit into the Digital SOCOM initiative. The Smart device allows for the integration of other platforms such as colorimetric and biometric integration into reporting capabilities.

Satellite constellations equipped with advanced antenna systems can provide critical communication uplinks, navigation, and data exfiltration to terrestrial units/platforms on land, in air, and over sea. To achieve this compact and beyond line-of-sight systems with full-orbit directionality are of interest due to their ability to reduce the probability of unwanted signal intercept, increase covera ...

The goal of this Direct to Phase II effort is to develop a prototype system for Cross-Lingual Unsupervised Extraction (CLUE) that can extract relevant information from across a variety of sources, modalities, and languages.  The CLUE system will extract entities and relations of interest from the different sources and languages, linking this information across documents, associating it with relev ...
