Pratt & Miller Engineering & Fabrication, Inc. SBIR Phase II Award, July 2019

PME proposes to extend the successes of the Phase I work with a Phase II prototyping effort which will demonstrate the feasibility of the approach on an actual vehicle with the controls running in real-time as well as corroborate the simulation results seen in Phase I. An existing vehicle will be up-fit with a preview sensing and active suspension system to characterize the combined system performance and allow benchmarking against non-preview strategies. The technology developed from the Phase II work, which consists primarily of software, can be extended to other vehicles and commercialized as either a standalone hardware / software system package or as a software package that can be licensed by suspension system suppliers.
