Automated Vehicles and AV Communications

Ongoing
Automated vehicles (AVs), or Automated Driving Systems-equipped (ADS-equipped) vehicles, have great potential to improve our lives by freeing us from the stress of driving and reducing accidents caused by distractions or poor judgement. Connected, reliable, and safe AVs will spark significant

Cyber Physical Systems and Internet of Things Program

Ongoing
Objective - Enable scalable, dependable design methods and reproducible performance measurement for effective and trustworthy (reliable, safe, secure, resilient and privacy-enhancing) cyber-physical systems and IoT, by means of new measurement science, advanced testing and assurance capabilities and

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things for Smart Cities

Ongoing
Objective - To provide the measurement science and standards-based foundations for interoperable, replicable, scalable, and trustworthy cyber-physical systems that can be readily and cost-effectively deployed by cities and communities of all types and sizes to improve their efficiency

Cyber-Physical Systems/Internet of Things Testbed

Ongoing
Objective - To develop general design principles useful to all cyber-physical systems testbed developers and the co-simulation community; to develop specific design concepts to guide the development, operation, and evolution of NIST’s IoT/CPS testbed; and to establish a cross-sector IoT/CPS testbed

Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things Foundations

Ongoing
Objective - To provide a common technical and conceptual foundation for CPS and IoT that enables conceptualization, realization and assurance across all domains, including a comprehensive and traceable methodology for meeting all stakeholder concerns throughout any systems engineering process and

Industrial Artificial Intelligence Management and Metrology (IAIMM)

Ongoing
IAIMM has identified IAI systems for decision making, planning, and control in manufacturing as a prime candidate for better Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) centered on both use and evaluation. The specific use case of multi-stage manufacturing presents a broad scope of application to

NIST Automated Vehicles Program

Ongoing
Measurement science and standards are needed to support the safe and predictable operation of future automated vehicles (AVs), which have great potential to significantly impact our daily lives and improve the competitiveness of our economy. A FY22 NIST Strategic and Emerging Research Initiatives

Power Quality Measurements and Fault Detection and Identification

Completed
Traditionally, disturbance detection relies on customer calls to the utility and through the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. A major disadvantage of SCADA is that the measurements are not synchronized, which means that the fault detection process is not precise or timely

Reliable, High Performance Wireless Systems for Factory Automation

Completed
With the emergence of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Smart Manufacturing Systems provide a vision of future manufacturing that incorporate highly dynamic physical systems, robust and responsive communications systems, and computing paradigms to maximize efficiency, enable mobility

Smart Grid Communications

Completed
Currently, the Smart Grid faces challenges in terms of reliability and security in both wired and wireless communication environments. The most important challenge is a lack of communication network infrastructure, which is a key factor in supporting the grid monitoring system. In the absence of any

Smart Grid Wireless Network Security

Completed
Wireless local area networks (WLAN) can be deployed in various smart grid domains, such as the home area network (NAN), neighborhood area network (NAN), and substation area network (SAN). They offer a cost effective solution when compared with other wired or wireless options. However, to overcome

Synchrophasor Networks for Grid monitoring

Completed
It is well accepted that the Smart Grid will employ a variety of networking technologies. Although there has been tremendous advancement in networking technologies from an architectural point of view, those for smart grid applications need to be designed to ensure a high degree of reliability, self
