Driver Engagement/Status Monitoring Technologies for Vehicle Automation Applications
SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: 151FH1With the introduction of Level 2 (L2) vehicle automation technologies, a core challenge facing drivers is to remain engaged in the driving task and aware of the vehicle environment despite not playing an immediate role in the low level driving control loop. To overcome this challenge, SoarTech and its partners, UMTRI and Delphi Automotive, propose to develop DAISY, an innovative vehicle sub-system ...

Corrosion Resistant Prestressing Strand for Prestressed Concrete Bridges
SBC: METNA CO Topic: 141FH6Prestressing strands are the core constituents of prestressed concrete structures. Steel offers important advantages over the emerging classes of composite tendons in this application; susceptibility of prestressing steel to corrosion, however, is a concern. The market appeal of existing corrosion-resistant strands has been dampened by their high cost and some enduring technical concerns. In recen ...

LookOut: A Scenario-based Driving Simulator for Enhancing Hazard Detection and Avoidance
SBC: Quantum Signal LLC Topic: 132FH2the goal of driver's education is to provide students with the skills necessary to safely and effectively operate a motor vehicle. While effective training has been implemented since the 1930s, research suggest opportunities to enhance driver hazard anticipation and avoidance, which could in turn dramatically impact public safety. Hazard-related training has traditionally been difficult to accom ...

Non-Destructive Test Method for Rapid Determination of the Chemical Composition of Concrete in Field
SBC: METNA CO Topic: 122FH2While thorough assessment of concrete chemistry is vital to evaluating the health of (transportation) infrastructure systems, the costly and time-consuming nature of available chemical analysis methods limit their applications. A nondestructive test method will be developed for thorough evaluation of concrete chemistry and deterioration conditions at different depths. An analytical chemistry metho ...
