Development of Smart Bridge Bearings - Feasibility Study
Project Objective
The specific objectives of the proposed research are: * Identify effective and economic sensing devices that can be utilized for instrumentation, * Elastomeric bearings, * To develop possible instrumentation schemes for implementing the concept of "smart bearings", and * To conduct feasibility study for producing instrumented bearings.
Development of Bus Maintenance Information Advisory System
New York City Transit Department of Buses faced a problem where they found buses frequently breaking down during operation. In order to reduce the number of breakdowns, two approaches are being explored. First, it was felt, using the data present in their database, to develop statistical models to effectively predict the failures of critical components. This would also help in scheduling the buses for maintenance operations. In order to have an impact, using Pareto Analysis, systems that had the most number of failures were identified for the study.
