A Wireless Sensor Network with Accurate Time Synchronization and Wide Area Coverage for Traffic Signal Analysis
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: 101FH2Increasing population, vehicles, and the excessive traffic induced by urban sprawl is overburdening the existing highway system. Traffic delays and air pollution are often caused by ineffective traffic signal timing. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are adopted to better manage and control the surface transportation network in many cities. However, there is lack of an independent signal ...

Transportation Vehicle Waste Heat Recovery System
SBC: MMPG LLC Topic: 101FT1A one-cylinder diesel engine will be modified to achieve a 20% to 40% improvement in fuel efficiency. This will be accomplished by insulating the interior of the combustion chamber with a proprietary thermal insulating material. Heat normally transferred to the engine coolant through the walls of the head, cylinder and piston will be retained within the combustion chamber where it is available t ...

SHARE-System for Human-factors Assessment and Readiness Evaluation
SBC: Design Interactive, Inc. Topic: 101FA1This proposal addresses the development of a System for Human-factors Assessment and Readiness Evaluation (SHARE). The SHARE system will enable the classification and modeling of the portfolio of technologies being developed under the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). It will develop and validate anchors by which to measure and model the maturity of human factors consideration ...

Automated High Speed, Low Water Consumption Insulator Cleaner
SBC: MINI, LLC Topic: 07FT4This Phase II proposal develops a novel third rail insulator cleaner called the Vohrtex based.on the successfully completed Phase I project that developed the low water consumption, quick cleaning tool, the “Spin Wedge.” The Vohrtex slides on the third rail and is attached to a service vehicle that rides on the track. The Vohrtex has a pair of arms, which hang down on opposite sides of the t ...

A Novel Multi-Sensor Wireless Network for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: 081FH6The ability to monitor the integrity of a bridge structure and detect damage or condition changes at early stages is of significant importance for bridge operation safety. Currently, the most widely used damage detection methods rely on subjective, incremental visual assessments or localized testing techniques. In this proposal, we propose to develop and test a low cost and efficient bridge stru ...

Balancing Safety and Capacity in an Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System
SBC: Sabra & Associates, Inc. Topic: 081FH1This research focuses on the development of a real-time signal timing methodology and algorithms that balance safety and efficiency. This research consists of two phases: Phase I was completed in December 2009; it examined the relationships between signal timing and surrogate measures of safety, namely the frequency of rear-end, angle and lane-change conflicts. The FHWA Surrogate Safety Assessm ...

Detection, Control and Warning System (DCWS) to mitigate Dilemma Zone (DZ)
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: 082FH1To mitigate the Dilemma Zone (DZ) problem, Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) team proposes an innovative vehicle specific Detection, Control and Warning System (DCWS). DCWS provides vehicle-specific dilemma zone protection based on travel time to the intersection as opposed to more conventional systems which protect a fixed area on the pavement. Apart from incorporating advanced signal control ...

Small Scale Diesel Generator for Railway Applications
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: 122FR1Autonomous inspection systems are necessary to increase awareness of track safety and maintenance issues. However, electrical power for these systems is not available under freight railway vehicles. Mainstream Engineering (MEC) proposes development of a small-scale diesel generator with an integrated starter-alternator (ISA) and automated battery charging circuit for this application. The proposed ...
