Bayesian Assessments and Real-Time Rider Alerting and Cueing for Upcoming Danger Avoidance (BARRACUDA)
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: 151FH3Riding a motorcycle can be a risky activity due to hazards that riders encounter. Some hazards, such as uneven terrain, sand/gravel, and potholes, do not pose a risk to automobiles, but can be dangerous for motorcyclists. However, no motorcycle-specific hazard tracking or alerting systems are currently available for riders. To address this need, Charles River Analytics has designed and demonstrate ...

Collaboration-Optimized Network for Naturalistic Exploration and Communication about Traffic
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: 180NH2Current access to and analysis of the Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) dataset requires significant time and technical skill. Data analysis tools are often general-purpose, designed to support the analysis of any dataset, and do not easily support the types of questions many transportation and safety engineers ask of the FARS data. Visualizations can help users understand relationships betwe ...

Detection of THC Use in Drivers
SBC: GINER INC Topic: 171NH1012Proposal title: Detection of THC Use in Drivers The overall objective of this program is to develop a portable, cost-effective and non-invasive sensor device for near real-time salivary THC detection to be used at roadside in drivers. This will eliminate the need for expensive and time-consuming analytical techniques which have a turn-around time of several days. During the Phase I program Giner ...

Broken Rail Detection from Flashing Rear End Device
SBC: Migma Systems Inc. Topic: 171FR2Proposal title: A Robust Railway Track Crack Detection System Using Thermal Signatures In Phase I, we developed a practical sensor platform suitable for mounting on the back of train. A large amount of IR images associated with rail tracks were collected on an MBTA train. Algorithms were developed to identify both right and left tracks from a moving train. To help detect track cracks, we develope ...

Detection of THC Use in Drivers
SBC: N2 Biomedical, LLC Topic: 171NH1Proposal title: Detection of THC Use in Drivers The intoxicating effects of marijuana are of concern to the law enforcement community as well as to the general manufacturing, service and commerce community where employees may need to be screened for intoxication. A reliable method to quantitatively measure the amount of the intoxicating agent delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in suspected marij ...

Crowding Information Collection and Dissemination System
SBC: ARCON CORP Topic: 171FT1Train car crowding is a key issue resulting in passenger dissatisfaction and degraded transit service. One reason for train car crowding is an uneven distribution of passengers among the train cars which results in overcrowding of certain cars while leaving other cars sparsely occupied. If passengers waiting at a station are informed about the expected crowding levels in the arriving train, they c ...

Detection of THC Use in Drivers
SBC: GINER INC Topic: 171NH1Driving under the influence of marijuana, the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States is reported to double the risk of crash involvement. As marijuana decriminalization and legalization measures continue to gain acceptance, the potential number of drivers using marijuana could rise dramatically, necessitating new ways for law enforcement to combat the pursuant increase in drug relate ...

A Robust Railway Track Crack Detection System Using Thermal Signatures
SBC: Migma Systems Inc. Topic: 171FR2In Phase I, Migma Systems propose to develop a robust system for detection of railway track surface cracks. Automated railway inspection is critical for ensuring the safety of public transportation. Rails often break under trains and broken tracks can lead to train derailment. In Phase I, we will make a prototype sensor with low power microprocessor, IR camera, GPS and temperature/humidity sensor ...
