Featured Work
Health-Monitoring System for Heavy Duty Vehicles
GIS researchers developed vehicle-health monitoring technologies and system architectures that are currently deployed by the U.S. military. This also led to Vnomics Corp., a company whose product monitors driver safety and fuel efficiency for long-haul trucks. Partners: U.S. Marine Corps and the Office of Naval Research (ONR)
GIS researchers investigated means for increasing near-term use of two forms of biofuel—bio-diesel and ethanol-based flex fuel (E85)—as drop-in fuels for use in existing transportation fleets. Partners: U.S. Department of Transportation and Monroe County (New York State)
Smart Systems for Fleet Optimization
GIS researchers analyzed the state of a regional healthcare network’s transport fleet to identify options for improving overall efficiency through the application of commercially available fleet-management and analytics tools. Partners: New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Rochester Regional Health
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell as Mobile Power Source
GIS researchers studied solid oxide fuel-cell technology powered by conventional fuels as a means for military vehicles to maintain communications and intel capability while operating in quiet (engine-off) mode. Partners: Delphi Technologies (BorgWarner Inc.) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR)
