项目摘要

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will advance new real-time tracking technologies that increase the efficiency and reduce the costs of container shipping across the world. The container shipping industry underpins the modern supply chain and represents a $1.5 B market. The proposed solution introduces 5G internet-of-things to tracking in worldwide shipping by demonstrating performance in the dirty, complex, and highly-cluttered environments of repair facilities and terminals crowded with container stacks.The intellectual merit of this project will be the continued exploration of backscattered mm-wave radio frequency identification (RFIDs) for localization and communication. In addition, although hardware and standards used for standard ultra-high frequency RFID-based localization systems have benefited from decades of improvements, methods appropriate for higher-frequency methods are virtually unexplored and feature radically different challenges. This effort will advance the tag and reader hardware and software, followed by optimization of the standard for the concurrent localization and communications with mm-wave backscatter tags. Finally, the project will conduct verification and validation of the mm-RFID system's mechanical and functional performance.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目将推进新的实时跟踪技术，以提高效率并降低全球集装箱运输的成本。集装箱运输行业为现代供应链支撑，代表了1.5美元的市场。提出的解决方案通过证明在肮脏，复杂且高度整理的维修设施环境中的性能以及拥挤的端子堆满了集装箱堆栈的端子，将5G的解决方案引入了全球运输的跟踪。该项目的智力优点将是对backscatersed MM波波无线电频率识别（RFIDS）的智力探索。此外，尽管用于标准超高频率基于RFID的本地化系统的硬件和标准从数十年的改进中受益，但适用于高频方法的方法实际上是未探索的，并且具有截然不同的挑战。这项工作将推动标签和读取器硬件和软件，然后优化与MM-Wave反向散射标签的并发本地化和通信的标准。最后，该项目将对MM-RFID系统的机械和功能性能进行验证和验证。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
