Workshop Report: Standards and Performance Metrics for On-Road Autonomous Vehicles

October 27, 2022
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Suzanne Lightman, Vinh Nguyen, Prem Rachakonda, Tao Zhang, Omar Aboul-Enein, Nicholas Barbosa, C Cameron Miller, Daniel Sawyer, Ann Virts
On-road autonomous vehicles are expected to significantly influence key aspects of everyday life. However, these complex systems can pose a safety risk in the event of unexpected system performance. Therefore, NIST held the Standards and Performance

Deterministic Intra-Vehicle Communications: Timing and Synchronization

July 26, 2020
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
As we power through to the future, in-vehicle communications' reliance on speed is becoming a challenging predicament. This is mainly due to the ever-increasing number of electronic control units (ECUs), which will continue to drain network capacity, hence

Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Allison Barnard Feeney, Jennifer L. Marshall, Larry Avery, Jennifer Moore, Carlotta Boone
Emergency medical service providers riding in ambulance patient compartments, while caring for patients, are at high risk of suffering injuries in case of a crash or sudden maneuver. Seat belts are one way to reduce the occurrence and severity of injuries

Thermal Decomposition of 1-Pentyl Radicals at High Pressures and Temperatures

September 27, 2012
Author(s)
Andrea Comandini, Iftikhar A. Awan, Jeffrey A. Manion
Complementary shock-tube studies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) have been used to examine the decomposition reactions of the 1-pentyl radical at temperatures of 833 K to 1130 K

The Decomposition of 2-Pentyl and 3-Pentyl Radicals

July 15, 2012
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Manion, Iftikhar A. Awan
The isomerization and decomposition reactions of 2-pentyl and 3-pentyl radicals have been studied in a single-pulse shock tube over a temperature range of 973 K to 1121 K and pressures of 120 kPa to 800 kPa. The results represent the first direct study of
