About this award
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $129,734.00 definitive contract by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to conduct a feasibility study on using low-cost sonar sensors and advanced signal processing techniques to measure the deformed shape of railroad crossties under load at high speeds. This sole-source contract builds on preliminary research conducted by UCSD in 2018 and aims to develop a proof-of-concept measurement device and software, test the system on UCSD's test track, and demonstrate the system on a moving platform with support from a commercial railroad. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading public research university, UCSD has extensive expertise in areas such as engineering, computer science, and transportation research that it can leverage to support this FRA project focused on improving rail safety and infrastructure reliability.
