About this award
This is a firm fixed-price contract awarded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), a civilian agency, to the University of Illinois for the second phase of a research project on using laser triangulation and deep neural networks (DNNs) for railway safety inspections. The contract has a ceiling value of $986,941.00 and a completion date of September 30, 2025.
The initial research phase developed methods to apply AI to laser-based data to detect track changes impacting safety. This second phase aims to leverage prior work to establish relationships between track change and inspection data, producing reports to aid inspectors and decision-makers. It will also define metrics and reports to support resource prioritization. The University of Illinois is the prime contractor, with Systemes Pavemetrics Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer, as a subcontractor providing vision systems and related technology. This sole-source contract does not have a set-aside designation.
