Space power systems technology enablement study

The power system technologies which enable or enhance future space missions requiring a few kilowatts or less and using the space shuttle were assessed. The advances in space power systems necessary for supporting the capabilities of the space transportation system were systematically determined and benefit/cost/risk analyses were used to identify high payoff technologies and technological priorities. The missions that are enhanced by each development are discussed

ODOT and INDOT I-70 Truck Automation Corridor Project

In June 2021, ODOT and INDOT began a project to implement and test truck platooning—Level 2 and Level 4 automation on Class 8 trucks in revenue service on I-70. The project also assessed infrastructure readiness for automated vehicles and developed a tool to automate this analysis to make roadways “automation ready.” This presentation provides the project concept and architecture, insights and status of participating fleets and developers, and the test plan for the roadway audit
