- Description
- Synopsis Advanced, Low-Cost Snowplow Visual Guidance System This is a Pre-Solicitation notice (synopsis) for a full and open competition. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has a requirement to conduct highly specialized research and develop a prototype low-cost, high-accuracy, visual guidance system for snowplow operators. The conditions for intended use are low and zero visibility environments such as encountered during blizzards, rural nighttime operations, super-cooled fog, and other high visual impairment situations. The effort will include gathering/synthesizing data, distilling this data to parse out technology applicable to the project goals, and designing and assembling an operational prototype unit that will be ready for further validation, enhancement and field use. To successfully complete this project, expertise will be required in diverse fields, including digital imaging, digital multidimensional mapping, global positioning systems (GPS), radar/LiDAR/forward-looking infrared-based (FLIR) sensing, and related emerging/existing technologies. Experience will also be needed in advanced digital imaging and displays, including augmented reality, virtual reality, synthetic vision, and advanced user displays such as heads-up displays (HUDs), visors and other wearable technology. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541712. The RFP will be released and available electronically at www.fbo.gov. Interested parties may register at the aforementioned site to receive a variety of procurement announcements/notifications. It is the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the FedBizOpps website for any amendments to the RFP package. NO OTHER PROCUREMENT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
