CLR ANALYTICS INC — Department of Transportation SBIR Phase I: 111FH1
CLR ANALYTICS INC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Transportation.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Transportation in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $99,965. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code 111FH1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
We propose a Smartphone based system that can integrate information commonly available on a mobile phone and real time traffic signal phasing data to provide assistance to pedestrians and cyclists for safer intersection crossing. GPS accelerometer and digital compass information from a smart phone together with digital maps will be integrated to determine the location and orientation of a user. Real time traffic signal phasing data can be obtained through wireless communication with either a local signal controller or a central traffic management system. The information together can then inform pedestrians and cyclists particularly those with vision or hearing or walking impairment as to when to cross through audible or haptic feedback.An automated ‘pedestrian call’ request can also be sent to the traffic controller wirelessly from the smart phone of registered users after confirming the direction and orientation that the pedestrian is intending to cross. The proposed system will eliminate the need of physically locating and pressing a pushbutton at the intersection crossing and provide supportive information to the pedestrians and cyclists while traveling along the crosswalk.
