About this award
The Federal Railroad Administration awarded a $223,936 definitive contract to University of California, San Diego for research and development of non-contact rail inspection at track speed on June 14, 2024, with final completion on June 13, 2026.
The contract is firm fixed price with no set-aside. Place of performance is La Jolla, CA. The originating solicitation addresses development of non-contact inspection technology for detecting rail track defects at track speeds, including track testing of the UCSD prototype on a BNSF test car with both current and lighter prototype versions, development of signal processing techniques for defect detection and characterization using non-contact ultrasonic sensing, assessment of in-field deployment performance in terms of probability of detection versus probability of false alarm, and advanced signal processing to increase sensitivity to flaws and characterize them.
San Diego State University Research Foundation is performing a subcontract valued at $44,378, with work scope encompassing prototype testing, signal processing development, and performance assessment aligned to the prime contract objectives.
