Evaluating perception sensor systems for on-road autonomous vehicles is still fraught with ambiguity due to the varying and dynamic environmental factors that these vehicles encounter. The critical safety of on-road AV operations is heavily dependent on
The mission of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) CHIPS Research and Development Office (CHIPS R&D) under the Department of Commerce's CHIPS for America Program is to accelerate the development and commercial deployment of
This paper describes the implementation of a system for the generation and measurement of DC power and energy for voltages with magnitudes up to 800 V DC and currents up to 400 A DC. Power generation is based on the "phantom" power approach, where the

The push to decarbonize has spurred the demand for clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines (WTs). These technologies rely on rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs), namely Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnets that in turn

Every day, overweight and excessively heavy vehicles cause damage to roads, bridges, and other vehicle-based infrastructure. To protect this vital transportation infrastructure for the U.S., states have imposed weight limits for commercial and fleet
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV), which include "all-electric" battery EV (BEV) and plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV), comprise a rapidly growing proportion of the U.S. automobile market – nearly 8% of all light-duty vehicles sold in Oct. 2022, a 41.4% rise over

This paper presents new wide-ranging correlations for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of 1-hexene based on critically evaluated experimental data. The viscosity correlation is valid from the triple point to 580 K and up to 245 MPa pressure, while

As adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) increases across the United States and charging equipment to power vehicles is installed, the electricity system, states, utilities, EV manufacturers, EV supply equipment (EVSE) manufacturers, and stakeholders are
Beam tracking is a core issue in 5G vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks. Specifically, higher beamforming gain is required to compensate for the path loss at higher frequencies, e.g., 5G FR2, to realize high data rate vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
A high-level review was conducted of design criteria in the United States for major components of the built environment for selected design and construction codes, reference standards, and best practices. The intent of the review is to gauge the expected
The safety of Automated Driving System (ADS) equipped vehicles and reliable methods for assessing that safety are critical for successfully deploying these engineered systems into the market. This document presents a novel approach for developing an ADS
This paper revisits previous numerical predictions and experimental measurements of tensile strain capacity (TSC) in curved wide plate (CWP) specimens. The work is motivated by the arguably surprising conclusion in (Liu, Wang, Horsley, et al. 2012) that be
