Vision and Wireless-Based Surveying for Intelligent OSAM Navigation (VISION)

  • PI Hever Moncayo

    CO-I Kadriye Merve Dogan

  • ​In this project, which is a SpaceWERX Phase I STTR program with Orbital Prime, we are developing algorithms to increase autonomy of OSAM applications. 
Visual Guidance Remote Airport Lighting Systems

  • PI Christopher Grant

    CO-I Jianhua Liu

    CO-I Stuart Campbell

  • This project aims at developing low-cost/low-power lighting systems that can be deployed at remote airports. Lighting at rural airports is much needed as they give communities they serve a transportation link during time-critical situations such as emergency medical services.

Volusia County Transportation Challenge: A Commentary Report on Volusia County's Long Range Transportation Plan

  • PI Ahmed Abdelghany

  • The objective of this project is to evaluate the long-term (5-10 years) transportation plan of Volusia county.
Vortices

  • PI Ciprian Mancas

  • Utilizing a rotational actuator with a paddle in a water tank, the velocity and vortices fields of vortex rings are obtained. For a wide range of paddles, and angular velocities, formation of ring vortices that travel in the tank with constant energy will be analyzed. The vortex ring propagation is useful for sending information across an optical fiber for long distances.
Vulnerability Analysis of the Environment, Facilities, and Personnel of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to Extreme Weather Events and Climatic Anomalies Resulting from Global Climate Change

  • PI John Lanicci

  • The major goal of this research project is to conduct a vulnerability analysis of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Complex's natural and physical environments to the potential occurrence frequencies of extreme weather events and climatic anomalies that can be expected under various global climate-change scenarios.
Vulnerability of the Kennedy Space Center to Climate Change

  • PI Jennifer Thropp

    CO-I Guy Smith

  • My particular role in this research project is to contribute to the mapping and analysis of damage incurred by Kennedy Space Center (KSC) by the atypically active 2004 hurricane season, in which multiple hurricanes impacted spaceflight operations at KSC and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS).

Wake Vortex Safety Analysis in the Context of UAS Integration in the NAS

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

  • ​This project is a collaboration with several research organizations under the supervision of FAA. The focus  of the current research efforts is on developing and employing variable-fidelity prediction approaches to examine safety implications of the future integration of variable-size UAS systems in the National Aerospace System (UAS). 

Water Waves 3D

  • PI Shahrdad Sajjadi

    CO-I David Ross

    CO-I Ciprian Mancas

  • Following advances in two-dimensional water waves, we began to study three-dimensional effects in propagating water waves, where the dependence upon the second horizontal dimension is force by boundary or initial conditions. We study the effects of nonlinearity on the interaction of two equal but non-parallel wave trains or the reflection of an obliquely incident wave train (studied extensively by Sajjadi and Ross).
Wind Powered Water Pump

  • PI Jeff Brown

    CO-I Christopher Hays

  • The vision of the Wind-Powered Water Pump project is to develop a template for the development of long-range water transportation in areas where no other external energy sources are available.
Workplace Accident Survey

  • PI Mark Friend

  • Random employees of unspecified companies will be interviewed to ID cause(s) of accidents in which they were involved.  The goal is to determine if they could have been prevented by adjustments to the overall sysem.
