Use of High-Resolution Imaging Techniques for Condition Assessment and Damage Detection of Bridges
SBC: SC SOLUTIONS, INC. Topic: 180FH2This proposal consists of an innovative integrated solution for damage diagnosis of bridge structures using a non-contact image-based measurement methodology. High-resolution and regular camera systems will be used to capture the bridge movements and the traffic passing the bridge, respectively. Computer vision techniques will be used to extract the deflection time-histories of the bridge as well ...

Synoptic Approach to Harmonize Discrete Data Streams in Application Development
SBC: IT WORKS! INC. Topic: 180NH1Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

Integrated Sensor Unit for Signalized Intersections
SBC: Physical Optics Corporation Topic: 180FH3The DOT seeks an integrated unit capable of identifying and tracking individual vehicles with high accuracy using multiple vehicle detection inputs, including video images, radar-based detection, and vehicle-to-everything radio signal inputs (DSRC, cellular-V2X), with a deep learning-based engine to fuse collected data. To address this DOT need, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to contin ...

SmartCross-Traffic Signal Interface on the Smartphone
SBC: Savari Inc. Topic: 111FH1On average, a pedestrian is killed every 2 hours and injured every 8 minutes in traffic crashes. 73% of these fatalities occur in urban areas. The SmartCross system aims to reduce the risk of vehicle-pedestrian crashes by providing situational awareness to the pedestrian as well as the vehicle approaching a crosswalk. The system makes use of the proliferation of smartphones to provide audio, visua ...

Software Package for Material Model Evaluation
SBC: APTEK, Inc. Topic: N/AThis Phase I and II SBIR will develop a user-friendly, run-time efficient software package dedicated to fitting and evaluating material models used in finite element codes like LS-DYNA. The software package will consist of a pre-processor, a core driver, and a post-processor. The pre-processor will allow the user to specify the material model, model parameters, and desired load history. The dri ...

Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Recycling
SBC: Road Processing Resources Inc. Topic: N/ARPR's Phase I contract proved the feasibility of concrete recycling based o a shock-producing hammer/anvil concept for fracturing and sizing aggregate and separating reinforcing steel into marketable scrap. The Phase II project will develop a portable self-propelled prototype to remove and process a 12 foot wide roadway at a rate of about a mile a day. This is called "Fast Track" highway removal ...

MEASURING RETROREFLECTIVITY OF PAVEMENT MARKINGS
SBC: Advanced Retro Technology Inc. Topic: N/ATHE MEASUREMENT OF THE RETROREFLECTIVITY OF PAVEMENT MARKINGS OR TRAFFIC STRIPING HAS BEEN LIMITED BY THE INSTRUMENTATION AT PRESENT. THE MAJORITY OF THESE INSTRU- MENTS ARE HAND-HELD PORTABLE UNITS WITH LIMITED GEOMETRY ANDNEASUREMENT AREA. MOBLE UNITS BUILT BY SOME STATES ALSO ARE LIMITED IN THEIR PERFORMANCE BY STRAY LIGHT, NON-OPTIMUM GEOMETRY AND OTHER PROBLEMS. A NEW RETROREFLECTOMETER IS PR ...

IMPROVEMENT OF AIR VOID ANALYSIS OF FRESH CONCRETE
SBC: Technical Innovations Topic: N/AWE WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPROVED METHODS FOR DETERMING AIR CONTENT IN FRESH CONCRETE. WE EXPECT THAT A STUDY OF VOLUME CHANGE WITH VARYING PRESSURE AND VACUUM WILL LEAD TO A METHOD THAT WILL INDICATE BOTH AIR CONTENT AND VOID SIZE, AND YIELD AIR CONTENTS THAT T ARE UNAFFECTED BY THE NONTHEORETICAL COMPRESSIBILITY OF SMALL VOIDS. WE WILL DETERMINE THE FEACIBILITY OF SIMPLER METHODS OF ...
