Quick Incident Detection and Warning Phase 2
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-09-0040
Project Abstract:
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project that will develop a quick incident detection and warning system. The system will be able to detect and locate a highway system in a matter of a few seconds, and issue warnings through roadside light-emitting diode flashers.
The major tasks of the project include:
- developing a new type of low-cost, low energy consumption sensor that can be massively deployed along the roadside;
- developing a wireless communication network that can provide communication between sensors, warning lights, and a central computer;
- developing software/firmware for incident detection and location, and for issuing warnings; integrating the system and conducting field tests on highways;
- and commercializing and marketing the product.
