5.1 Equipment Procurement and Bill of Materials<br />

ORNL will procure all items needed <strong>for</strong> the construction of the six DASs. No individual<br />

component or circuit design is expected to be necessary nor are such ef<strong>for</strong>ts planned.<br />

Specialized cabling will be procured through special fabrication shops and smaller<br />

standard items will be procured via ORNL AVID system or via local purchase. The<br />

component procurement is planned <strong>for</strong> early in Phase 2 to allow <strong>for</strong> long lead items.<br />

The Bill of Materials <strong>for</strong> the DAS is shown in Table 4.4.<br />

5.2 Equipment Configuration and Build-up<br />

Each DAS will be built and assembled per the SDOD Wiring Diagrams section. This will<br />

include the completed backplane assembly <strong>for</strong> each test vehicle and interconnection to<br />

all removable sensors, systems power, and system triggers.<br />

Individual sensors will be configured and <strong>for</strong>matted <strong>for</strong> assimilation into the DAS.<br />

Memory will be <strong>for</strong>matted, IP addresses set, and final sampling rates will be determined<br />

and set <strong>for</strong> the DAS. A connection point <strong>for</strong> downloading data will be configured into the<br />

system. Configuration will follow the Configuration Procedures section of the SDOD.<br />

5.3 Equipment to Vehicle Integration<br />

ORNL will install the DASs and their associated remote sensors and cabling into each<br />

test vehicle via ORNL staff or contractor. The installation will be done in accordance<br />

with DOT, OSHA, and IEEE standards and will not interfere with the driver or the<br />

operation of the test vehicle. Furthermore, the equipment will be installed in such a way<br />

as to be “transparent” to the vehicle operator and will be done in such a way that driver<br />

interaction will be minimal or not required. The installation will not damage the structure<br />

of the test vehicles, affect their appearance once the equipment is removed, or<br />

decrease the value of the tractor-trailer beyond normal depreciation. Integration steps<br />

are listed in the System Installation section of the SDOD.<br />

5.4 On-Vehicle Testing<br />

A shakedown test of the DAS will be per<strong>for</strong>med on each fleet test vehicle. The test will<br />

verify that each sensor and the DAS are functioning in the desired manner. Any<br />

problems encountered during this testing will be addressed and solved be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

vehicle enters the FOT. Testing in<strong>for</strong>mation is included in the Data Upload Checklist<br />

and the Operational Procedures section of the SDOD.<br />
