TrainAid: A Smart Onboard Railroad Passenger Information and Entertainment System
SBC: CLR ANALYTICS INC Topic: 171FR4Onboard railroad passenger information system (OPIS) is an electronic system that provides audio and/or visual information for passengers on a train. However, information received by passengers is not guaranteed since the information and service provided by the OPISs are diverse and without a common standard. Therefore, we propose a Smart Onboard Passenger Information and Entertainment, TrainAid, ...

Identifying Valuable Second Lives for Retired-Lithium-Ion Batteries in Transportation Systems
SBC: NANOSONIC INC. Topic: 171OS1The identification of high-value and high-impact secondary applications for retired lithium-ion batteries is critical as the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to increase. During the Phase I DOT SBIR program NanoSonic will evaluate second-use application concepts for retired vehicular lithium-ion batteries in economically valuable, second-use sectors of transportation. We are partn ...

Resilient Wayside Structures and Passenger Car Survivability
SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: 171FR3Additional passenger fatalities and injuries can occur during derailments due to interaction with wayside structures, such as catenary poles, bridge abutments, and discontinuities in third rails at highway grade crossings. Resilient wayside structures can reduce these risks, by lessening the amount of intrusion, penetration, and passenger motion. PEC and Arup will work together to develop resilien ...

Feasibility of Using Impulse Radar to Detect and Identify Detonators
SBC: AKELA INC Topic: N/AThis proposal seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of using impulse radar techniques to detect and identify explosive detonators. It relies on the fact that a radar impulse will excite natural electromagnetic resonances which characterize the size, shape, and material composition of an object. These resonances are present in the scattered transient return from the object and can be extracted by ...

Highway Capacity Software in Portable Graphical User Interface (GUI) Format
SBC: Catalina Engineering, Inc. Topic: N/AThe Highway Capacity Software (HCS) has, for the past 10 years, been the principal tool for applying the analysis methods of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). The HCS has been DOS-based with a very limited user interface. With a number of new research materials being produced, and an approved plan in place which leads to publication of an HCM 2000 and accompanying software, there is a strong op ...
