Description
BACKGROUND: USDOT envisions a future transportation ecosystem where CDA complements both human-driven and automated vehicles to improve roadway safety, mobility, and operational efficiency. While standalone vehicle automation has advanced, it continues to struggle with complex edge cases such as occlusion, complex merging, or identifying pedestrians hidden behind buildings at corners, and vehicle sensors alone cannot adequately resolve these issues. Prior USDOT-supported research projects have successfully demonstrated the technical proof-of-concept at technology readiness levels (TRL) of 3-5 for CDA applications in laboratory and closed environments. However, most new vehicles are not equipped with CDA capabilities and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) remain reluctant to integrate
Why This Opportunity Matters
TRANSPORTATION, DEPARTMENT OF is actively seeking qualified contractors for research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (except nanotechnology and biotechnology) with a set-aside for No Set Aside businesses in WASHINGTON, DC. This set-aside designation means eligible businesses face reduced competition from larger firms.
