Description

THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF JIDOKA OR AUTONOMATION (AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS) IN AUTOMOBILES. THE CONCEPT OF JIDOKA REFERS TO AUTOMATION WITH A HUMAN ELEMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT IS TO RESEARCH SENSORS INVLOVED IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (SCS) AND INVESTIGATE THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE NEXT GENERATION ELECTRICAL ARCHITECTURE (NGEA). THE NGEA IS AN EVOLVING STANDARD THAT SEEKS TO PROVIDE A USER INTERFACE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN COMMERCIAL AND MILITARY VEHICLES. THE NGEA PROVIDES BOTH MONITORING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VIA A COMPUTER INTERFACE. THE SENSOR RESEARCH IN THIS EFFORT INVOLVES DETERMINATION OF THE TYPE OF SURFACE AND ROAD CONDITIONS THAT THE CAR IS TRAVELING OVER. UNDER THIS ACTION, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND DELIVER A PROTOTYPE SYSTEM THAT WILL PROVIDE SLIP AND STABILITY INFORMATION FOR A STANDARD SIZE AUTOMOBILE AND , LAT! ER, MODIFY THE SYSTEM TO AN ENHANCED SYSTEM WHICH CAN DETECT ROAD SURFACE CONDITIONS. THIS ACTION WILL BE SOLICITED ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS WITH OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, ROCHESTER, MICHIGAN. THE ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS TWENTY FOUR MONTHS. AWARD OF A COST REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACT IS ANTICIPATED. THE ESTIMATED RELEASE DATE OF RFP W56HZV-04-R-0132 IS 26 NOV 03 AND THE ESTIMATED CLOSING DATE IS 26 DEC 03. NUMBERED NOTES 22 AND 26 APPLY.
