Connected automated vehicle (CAV) technology has significant implications in terms of transportation system safety and efficiency. However, building and maintaining a wireless communication infrastructure (e.g. roadside units (RSUs), power, fiber optic lines etc.) across the U.S. is a challenging task. In urban areas, where vehicle population and vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) are high, building suc ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) is pleased to propose the further design and development of MySidewalk mobile application facilitating the crowd-sourced collection of sidewalk inventory and condition data. The MySidewalk application utilizes advances in social networks and data mining to provide integrated sidewalk datasets. Phase I and II research was facilitated by inputs from City of Colle ...

Lack of transportation access affects approximately 30% of people with functional limitations. In fact, people with functional limitations experience transportation access barriers four times more than those without limitations. With the emerging market of low cost augmented and virtual reality technology, perceptual user interfaces (PUI) that interact more naturalistically with end-users are prov ...

This proposal is in response to announcement DTRT57-13-R-SBIR2 in the area 13.2-FH1, Development of Innovative Welding for High Performance Bridge Steel. It is proposed to use Homopolar Generator (HPG) Welding to join the high performance bridge steel in the 3” by 30” cross sections mentioned in the announcement in under 1 second. All of the energy required to perform the weld is stored in the ...

THE OBJECTIVE IS A COMPACT, RELIABLE AND INEXPENSIVE METHOD FOR SAMPLING LARGE VOLUMES OF AIR RAPIDLY TO DETERMINE THE CONCENTRATION OF AIRBORNE EXPLOSIVES. THE APPROACH INVOLVES THE USE OF A MULTIVORTEX PRECIPITATOR CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY REMOVING FINE PARTICULATES AND LARGE MOLERCULES FROM THE AIR AND COLLECTING THEM FOR CONVENIENT ANALYSIS. DURING PHASE I, A PROTOTYPE WILL BE TESTED FOR COLLECT ...

THE PROLIFERATION OF ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION SENSORS AND INSTRUMENTS WHICH MAKE USE OF NAVIGATIONAL DATA (ECDIS, ARPA RADAR) HAS RESULTED IN A COMPLEX DATA SHARING PROBLEM. EFFORTS AMONG MANUFACTURERS AND TRADE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RESULTED IN A SET OF INTRA-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS STANDARDS WHICH GREATLY SIMPLIFY THE INTEGRATION TASK. EACH SHIPBOARD INSTALLATION HAS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS WHICH ARE NOT ...

A PROTOTYPE FOR AN EXPLOSIVE DETECTION SYSTEM USING PULSED FAST NEUTRON ACTIVATION (PFNA) TECHNIQUES USES AN ELECTROSTATIC TANDEM ACCELERATOR TO PRODUCE NANOSECOND WIDTH PULSES OF 6 MEV DEUTERONS. WHILE THIS APPROACH ALLOWS ONE TO PRODUCE NEUTRONS OF AN ENERGY SUITED TO THE REACTION ONE HOPES TO EXCITE IN SAMPLE ATOMS OF INTEREST, IT REQUIRES THE USE OF A FAIRLY LARGE AND EXPENSIVE ACCELERATOR SYS ...
