Other Energy Technologies
| Connected Signals collects real-time traffic signal data and uses it to build sophisticated models for predicting traffic signal changes, based on history, vehicle and pedestrian calls, and other information. This information enables applications that increase safety at intersections, improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, and reduce driver stress. Major automakers estimate that a 7-10% improvement in fuel efficiency and emissions can be achieved using this data.
With over 10,000 signals in over 100 US municipalities, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand already online and many more in various stages from acquisition to deployment, Connected Signals is the leading source of traffic signal data, providing added value to manufacturers, drivers and local traffic agencies. Our EnLighten® smartphone app already provides drivers with predictions about how long they will be stopped at lights, and we are actively developing exciting new applications.
Connected Signals has extensive experience with traffic signal information, including developing predictive models, interfacing with TMSs, and collection and enhancement of real-time data. Our engineers have backgrounds and experience in computer learning, statistical modeling, optimization, data-quality analysis, connected vehicle applications, predictive modeling, cloud computing, security and encryption, and the other areas that we expect to be important to this effort. More than half our staff has advanced degrees in related fields, including PhDs in Mathematics , Statistics, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Our geographic information specialists have the necessary skills and experience to synthesize static roadway information with real-time signal information to develop accurate traffic system models. We have established relationships with numerous municipalities and automakers, and have successfully conducted several joint prototype projects providing real-time traffic signal data to several top-10 automakers to support in-vehicle applications. |

| I HAVE DEVELOPED A DISRUPTIVE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY BY IDENTIFING LOST ENERGY IN THE
TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY. AT PRESENT FUEL IS CONVERTED TO KINETIC ENERGY AND ALL THAT
ENERGY IS LOST TO BRAKE PAD HEATING AND AIR TURBULENCE WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS. MY
CONCEPT IS TO HARNESS WIND SHEAR AND CONVERT THIS WIND SHEAR TO CLEAN ENERGY. THIS IS
ACCOMPLISHED BY MY FOUR CYCLE WIND IMPLOSION ENGINE (PAT# US 7,056,082 B1) ALSO KNOWN
AS THE "MOTION BATTERY". CYCLE ONE PROPELS THE VEHICLE WITH BATTERY POWER. CYCLE TWO
SPLITS WIND SHEAR INTO TWO RECTANGULAR WIND SHEARS ALONG THE HYPOTUNUSE OF TWO RIGHT
TRIANGLES. THIS ACCELERATES THE WIND SHEAR BY A FACTOR OF 1.414 FOR THE EQUILATERAL
RIGHT TRIANGLES. CYCLE THREE ROUTS THESE TWO WIND SHEARS INTO TWO VACUUMS PRODUCED BY
TWO FISHING LURE CHAMBERS. THE WIND SHEARS ARE NOW TRAVELING AT TWICE THE VELOCITY OF
THE VEHICLE AND HAVE EIGHT TIMES THE ENERGY OF THE WIND SHEAR IN CYCLE ONE. THE FORTH
AND FINAL CYCLE IS REVERSE THRUST. THE TWO WIND SHEARS PRODUCE THREE POWERFUL TORQUES
FOR EVERY 90 DEGREES OF ROTATION PRODUCING CLEAN POWER PROPORTIONAL TO THE CUBE OF
VEHICLE VELOCITY. THIS POWER CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE MOTION AND STORE EXCESS ENERGY FOR
FUTURE USE. WE NOW HAVE THE ENERGY AT HIGH SPEEDS TO CHARGE ONE BATTERY BANK WHILE THE
OTHER FULLY SUPPORTS VEHICLE MOTION. THIS IS A TRUE WIN WIN SITUATION. WE NOW PRODUCE
CLEAN ENERGY WHERE WE ONCE PUMPED POLUTANTS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. |

Transportation
| The investigators believe a significant increase in fuel efficiency can be achieved through optimal cooperative control of connected vehicles in large metropolitan areas. Complex traffic patterns and congestion issues, together with vehicles in close proximity, suggests that significant sharing of infrastructure information (e.g., traffic light timing) and vehicle state information (position, speed, heading, nearest and next-nearest vehicle proximity, braking and acceleration history) can inform a connected vehicle concept for cooperatively controlling a vehicle’s powertrain with the aim of reducing fuel consumption.
The Georgia Tech PIs (Michael J. Leamy and Jonathon Rogers) have extensive experience with cooperative control and hybrid vehicle energy management control. They believe expertise in both areas will play a critical role in achieving DOE's goals for increasing fuel efficiency of connected and automated vehicles. |

Power Generation and Energy Production: Liquid and Gaseous Fuels/Nuclear
| LiquidPiston develops advanced rotary internal combustion engine technology, around an optimized thermodynamic cycle which is optimized for fuel efficiency. The cycle combines features of high compression ratio, constant volume combustion, and over-expansion, resulting in 75% thermodynamic efficiency. The 'X' engine is a rotary engine, similar to an inverted Wankel rotary engine, that implements this cycle. The engine is quiet, has essentially no vibration, is extremely compact (approx. 10x smaller and lighter than a diesel engine), and offers efficiency 30% better than a diesel engine. The X engine is able to operate with a novel control method to achieve high efficiency over a broad range of operating conditions.
The X engine couples nicely with a generator, forming an extremely compact and lightweight package that can serve as a range extender for electric vehicles. The 30kW engine, inclusive of "balance of plant" fits in a 10x8x8" box weighing just 30 pounds. We are looking to partner on this topic to couple the vehicle controls with the engine controls and integrate the engine in a vehicle. |
