This application is based upon priority International Application PCT/AU02/00343 filed Mar. 22, 2002, International Publication No. WO 02/077664 A1 published Oct. 3, 2002, which is based upon priority Australian Patent Application No. PR 3894 filed Mar. 22, 2001 and priority Australian Patent Application No. PR 7029 filed Aug. 14, 2001.
The present invention relates to an underwater communications station, and in particular to an underwater station capable of transmitting and/or receiving signals in an acoustic positioning system.
The Applicant has described an underwater positioning system in co-pending Australian Patent Application number claiming priority from Australian Provisional Application No. PR3894, the contents of which are herein disclosed by way of reference. In an underwater environment, such as that disclosed in the Applicant's co-pending application, it is necessary for signals transmitted from an underwater station to be received with sufficient signal power.
One of the main factors reducing the effectiveness of underwater communications is that of ray bending. Ray bending occurs in a long-range deep water tracking system, (i.e. Horizontal propagation of acoustic signals). Non-uniform water density causes horizontal acoustic signals to refract vertically to the surface or to the ocean bottom. This effect limits the maximum horizontal range of deep-water tracking. If a beacon is deployed on the bottom of the ocean, ray bending will limit the maximum range, as the acoustic signal will refract to the bottom of the ocean well before the acoustic signal reaches the surface. The traditional solution to this problem is to deploy a series of beacons closer together, which has obvious increased cost and maintenance implications.
An alternative solution to the ray-bending problem is to transmit very high power beacon signals. When the acoustic signal refracts into the ocean floor a small proportion of this signal will be reflected up towards the surface of the ocean. If the acoustic signal is loud enough the signal will be detectable at the surface. This type of tracking is unreliable and it is difficult to predict the power of the acoustic signal at the receiver. The other problem with high power signals is that a larger energy source is required at the beacon. Either a large and expensive energy source is used or the operational life of the beacon is reduced, as approximately a ten times increase in power is required.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved system to allow for the transmission of signals in an aquatic environment. More specifically the present invention seeks to provide an underwater station, which provides a greater signal range without necessarily increasing the signal power.
With the above objects in mind, the present invention provides an underwater station including:
a transmitter means located on a flotation means, the flotation means being connected to the station, and
a tracking means to determine the relative location of the flotation means relative to the station.
The flotation means may be connected by way of a flexible riser or cable to the station.
Ideally, the tracking means includes at least one transmitting hydrophone located on the flotation means, and a plurality of receive means located on the station. In an alternative configuration, a transmitting hydrophone may be located on the station and receive means located on the flotation means.
The transmitting hydrophone may be a directional transmitter configured to direct a transmitting signal towards the station.
Ideally, three or four receive means, such as receiving hydrophones, are located on the station. The receive means may be located at extremities of the station or in an alternative embodiment about a transducer ring.
The station may also include a positioning means to determine tilt, roll, and/or heading of the station.
In a further aspect the present invention provides an underwater station, including:
a flotation means connected to the station, and
a tracking means to determine the relative location of the flotation means.
The underwater station may further include a processing means to determine underwater currents as a function of the position of the flotation means.
A more detailed explanation of the invention is provided in the following description and appended claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

A detailed description of the preferred embodiment and best mode for practicing the invention are described thereon.
In order to address the problems associated with ray bending, the present invention seeks to deploy the transmitting beacon above the ocean floor. This will allow the acoustic signal to refract down, miss the bottom of the ocean and then refract towards the surface of the ocean thus extending range. This presents further problems in that hydro acoustic tracking requires the position of the beacon to be known and the measurement of the range to the beacon to be determined. A potential problem in deploying the beacon off the bottom of the ocean using a flexible riser is that the beacon moves with the ocean currents. Depending on the application such a system may also need to determine the position of the beacon relative to a fixed datum. In this case the datum may be the station (1). The preferred system is a Deep Water Short Base Line tracking system that measures the position of the beacon flotation module or Split Head Module (SHM) (2) relative to the station (1). Since the absolute position of the station (1) is known and the relative position of the SHM (2) is known, then the absolute position of the SHM (2) can be calculated.
The present underwater station is unique in that the SHM is tethered above the seabed and that there are two transmitters. The SHM (2) has two transmitters, one transmitting hydrophone (14) that transmits to the seabed station (1) and one transmitting hydrophone (16) that transmits to the ship's (5) receiver (4) (
Following deployment of the stations (1), the SHM (2) is deployed. The SHM (2) is tethered to the station (1) by a riser cable (10), and has positive buoyancy. This allows the STHM (2) to float on the end of its riser cable (10). Once the SHM (2) is deployed, it will be free to move in the ocean currents (the distance above the sea bed will vary with the current).
The position of the SHM (2), which may be critical to the accuracy of the system, can be tracked in order to determine the position of the SHM (2) relative to the position of the station (1). The split head tracking system uses the SHM (2) transmitting hydrophone (14) signal to compute the position of the SHM (2). The station (1) includes four receiving hydrophones (12) mounted in known and calibrated positions. Although three hydrophones are sufficient to compute the position of the SHM (2), possible shading of the acoustic signal by the riser cable (10) necessitates a fourth receiver in the preferred system. The fourth receiving hydrophone (12) also provides redundancy in case of failure of a receiving hydrophone (12). From the times of flight between the SHM (2) and receiving hydrophones (12), the range of the SHM (2) can be determined relative to the seabed station (1). From the differences in the times of flight, the azimuth and heading of the SHM (2) can be uniquely determined. The heading and tilt sensor (35) (
The station (1) electronics ideally includes a number of sub-assemblies mounted in a housing (25) (
i) main controller (31) and signal generator (30)
ii) signal processor and detector (33)
iii) high voltage DC-to-DC converter (27)
iv) high power D-class amplifier (28)
v) transducer conditioner (29)
vi) battery manager (26)
vii) split head tracking controller (32)
The main controller (31) oversees the operation of the whole station (1). It is responsible for generating all the precision internal timing, and decoding all the messages from the signal processor and detector (33) unit and acting upon them. It is also responsible for generating the digital spread spectrum (DSS) signalling information. The signal generated by the main controller (31) is amplified through the D-class amplifier (28) and then through the transducer conditioner (29) to the transmitting hydrophone (16) itself. The D-class amplifier (28) is powered from high voltage generated by the DC-to-DC converter (27). The signal processor and detector (33) section is responsible for detecting an incoming DSS signal and then extracting further information encoded within the signal for processing by the main controller (31).
There are two further internal assemblies:
The first is the battery manager (26), which ensures that maximum energy can be extracted from the battery modules (13). It also monitors fault conditions in any of the battery modules (13) and acts to minimise the amount of time the station is not transmitting. Fault information is also relayed by telemetry link to any surface vessels (5) for remedial action.
The second extra assembly is the split head tracking controller (32) (
Each station (1) may transmit a uniquely encoded DSS signal at a regular interval. The system ideally uses a coding system that allows for the simultaneous reception of multiple signals, (for example up to 16 stations). The coding system should also provide improved noise immunity from interference sources like noisy ships or other acoustic tracking systems.
The depths and topology of the ocean floor at which the stations (1) are deployed, may vary considerably. As noted previously, to address the problem of ray bending and also allow for inter-station communication, the SHM (2) is floated above the ocean floor. That is, the transmitting hydrophone (16) is preferably raised above the sea floor in the SHM (2). The SHM (2) includes a flotation module (15), which carries the main transmitting hydrophone (16) above the station (1). The SHM (2) is connected to the station (1) via an electrical riser cable (10).
Generally speaking, the height of the SHM (2) above the station (1) must be increased as a function of water depth. However, since the SHM (2) is tracked by the station (1), the height should be kept to a minimum. Ideally, the SHM (2) will not be floated more than 100 m above the station (1) so as to not unduly affect the accuracy of the system.
Each station may be deployed by one of three preferred methods. They are:
1) Free fall from a surface vessel,
2) Lowered into position using a deployment cable from a ship on the surface, or
3) Lowered into position using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
The SHM (2) of the preferred embodiment will have positive buoyancy and be tethered by a riser cable (10).
Dependent on specific requirements, the amount of flotation in each SHM (2) can be adjustable and the amount of the riser cable (10) deployed can also be adjustable. That is, the amount of buoyancy and length of cable may be adjusted.
The station (1) may also include a chassis (3) (
The split head tracking system uses a transmitting hydrophone (14) mounted on the SHM (2) and four receiving hydrophones (12) mounted on the station (1). The four receiving hydrophones (12) in one arrangement can be mounted on the extreme corners of the chassis (3). This maximises the angles seen by the receiving hydrophones (12) for calculations and for redundancy.
The split head tracking system may include a transmitting hydrophone (14) in the SHM (2), the four receiving hydrophones (12) mounted on the station (1) as well as the split head tracking controller (32). The receiving hydrophones (12) should be mounted at points to provide a view of the SHM (2) above, and ideally at points as far apart on the station (1) as possible. The split head tracking system uses the transmitting hydrophone (14) signal to provide a solution for the position of the SHM (2) for the split head tracking controller (32). The tracking system may use high frequency SBL techniques to accurately track the position of the transmitting hydrophone (14) relative to the station (1). The positioning may also be corrected for the pitch, roll and heading of the station (1) via the heading and tilt sensor (35), to give an absolute position of the SHM (2).
In the preferred system as shown in
Each of the battery modules (13) may be housed in a battery housing (36) to provide better protection for the batteries and also aid in installation of the batteries. The battery housing (36) may be retained in position by a mounting bracket (37). Cable covers (38) may also be included. The transducer ring (34) will ideally be centrally located about the riser cable (10) to provide the greatest accuracy. The transducer ring (34) houses each of the receiving hydrophones (12). It can be seen that the receiving hydrophones (12) are ideally spread evenly about the transducer ring (34). It has been found, as noted above, that four receiving hydrophones (12) provide optimum results, and also guard against blocked signals to one receiving hydrophone (12). It will be appreciated that a greater number of receiving hydrophones (12) may be included, which can also provide greater accuracy in the positioning of the SHM (2). It will also be appreciated that if extra receiving hydrophones (12) are added to the transducer ring (34), then the output from those receiving hydrophones (12) can be seamlessly added to the least squares algorithm to improve the accuracy in position of the SHM (2) without altering the architecture of the system. If the system includes a heading and tilt sensor (35), then this should also ideally be located on the transducer ring (34). These devices can be rigidly coupled together and calibrated as a single unit. The transducer ring (34) is then attached to the station (1) and re-calibrated to remove iron errors associated with the station. For high accuracy systems this calibration procedure is imperative to ensure the accuracy of the split head tracking system.
The purpose of the calibration procedure is two-fold; firstly to determine the acoustic centre of each of the four receiving hydrophones (12) for all points within the range of transmission, and secondly to calibrate the heading and tilt sensor (35) to correct for hard and soft iron errors.
The acoustic centres of each of the receiving hydrophones (12) should be accurately determined in order that the measurement baseline can be calculated. The acoustic centre of the receiving hydrophones (12) may vary with bearing, azimuth angle and frequency, and therefore the acoustic centre should be determined for all of these parameters.
As shown in
The acoustic calibration of the transducer ring (34) will produce four hydrophone ranges with the vertical element relative position, turret relative horizontal position and the turret angle (
The heading and tilt sensor (35) is calibrated by placing the transducer ring (34) on a flat turntable and noting the measured heading of the heading and tilt sensor (35). This reading is then compared to the true heading and the difference is stored in non-volatile memory on the heading and tilt sensor (35). The transducer ring (34) is then rotated by a known angle and this process repeated until the heading and tilt sensor (35) has been rotated a total of 360 degrees.
The heading and tilt sensor (35) calibration may be augmented by averaging a large number of recordings taken as the station is being deployed. Although this method is inherently less sensitive than the previous method, it has the advantage of reducing the effect of the iron errors contributed by the ferro-magnetic construction material of the station and, given sufficient numbers of data points, should enhance the heading accuracy of the transducer ring (34).
The heading and tilt sensor (35) of the preferred system uses a three axis solid-state magnetometer to determine the physical orientation of the station (1). It is understood that the ocean seabeds are not uniformly flat. Hence if the station (1) is located on a slope, for example on a drift, the positioning of the SHM (2) may not be accurate if the position and orientation of the station (1) is not known. This feature may be calibrated against the Earth's magnetic field at the station locality. It can also provide a check to ensure the validity of the SHM (2) position when high seabed currents are present.
The SHTS can be configured to periodically measure the position of the SHM (2) and broadcast the position to all stations (1) or can be polled by a surface receiver (4). Depending on the environmental conditions the SHM (2) position may be polled from once per hour to once per day, and is dependent on the application.
The SHTS can be deployed at the base of any split head system. The SHM (2) position can be recorded, relayed acoustically or relayed via a landline. For the system of
The split head transmitting hydrophone (14) can transmit a signal with a 90-degree field of view. The station receiving hydrophones (12) have a 90-degree field of view. The SHM (2) must ideally be within Ī45 degrees to the vertical for a valid tracking signal. If the SHM (2) is greater than 45 degrees to the vertical, then less accurate data is transmitted, and hence a less accurate system is the result.
The transmitting hydrophone (14) transmits a directional signal to the station (1). The surface receiver (4) normally requests a SHM (2) position. The station (1) measures the SHM (2) position and relays the result to the surface receiver (4). The surface receiver (4) knows the absolute position of the station (1) and the relative SHM (2) position and thus the absolute position of the SHM (2) can be calculated.
The SHTS uses a transmitting hydrophone (14) located on the SHM (2) and four receiving hydrophones (12) on the station (1). Or, the system can be configured as one receiving hydrophone (12) located on the SHM (2) and four transmitting hydrophones (14) on the station (1).
After the station (1) has consumed all the available power in the batteries or for whatever reason the station (1) needs to be recovered and replaced. The station (1) may be recovered using one of two preferred methods. They are:
1) An ROV shall descend with a recovery cable to attach to the station (1), which is used to raise the spent station (1) to the surface,
2) An acoustical release mechanism may sever the strength members in the riser cable (10) allowing the SHM (2) to float to the surface. Attached to the bottom of the riser shall be a recovery line, which is un-spooled from the station. When the maintenance ship recovers the SHM (2), the recovery line is used to raise the spent station (1) to the surface.
When it is necessary to recover the station (1) the floating SHM (2) may be damaged during the recovery phase. To avoid this as noted above, an acoustic command can be sent to the station (1) to release the riser cable (10) to allow it to float freely to the surface for separate recovery.
The station (1) can be fitted with a large number of external battery modules (13) to power the transmitters. The battery modules (13) can contain either alkaline or lithium batteries (or other energy sources). Each battery module (13) can incorporate smart battery technology so that the battery module (13) can monitor its own power consumption and expected life. The modules will be capable of switching off the supply to a particular controller if its power consumption is too high.
The signals from the four receiving hydrophones (12) of the split head tracking system would be wired to the split head tracking controller (32). Four receiving hydrophones (12) are used as a built in redundancy feature as only three receiving hydrophones (12) are needed in order to measure the position of the split head transmitting hydrophone (14). Each battery module (13) can be fitted with internal intelligence, which will allow the pack (13) to monitor the power consumption of the main controller (31) and disconnect the power if the power consumption is too high. Each battery module (13) has two power output connectors. Battery modules (13) can be daisy chained into small groups. If a power cable (40) shorts, then the group or individual battery module (13) is placed off-line. The battery modules (13) can also monitor short circuit or overload conditions. If the short circuit or overload is removed then the battery module (13) will place itself back on-line.
The station (1) is designed to be deployed off the back of an offshore supply vessel (5) and sink down to the ocean floor. The current embodiment is designed to operate at a maximum depth of 3,500 m, which can be expanded as required. The station (1) exterior will need to be designed to withstand the day-to-day rigors of offshore industrial environment knocks, bumps, salinity, external pressure, temperatures, growth of algae and coral etc.
For implementations using a number of stations (1), the preferred option of unique coding of each sub-sea station (1) used in the transmitted signals overcomes interference from other acoustic systems, and the ability for a relatively sparse network of stations (1) and passive vessel (5) receiver (4) systems significantly reduces the volume and range of acoustic noise in the sub-sea environment.
Each station (1) transmits acoustic signals to the neighbouring stations; this facilitates newly added stations being able to self-calibrate their actual position. This, combined with the ability to locate the stations up to 10 km apart, and with each station having a battery power supply capable of up to 12 months continuous operation, results in a significantly reduced deployment requirement.
The acoustic signal used and the use of a SHM (2) that floats above the station (1), are able to compensate for the known physical characteristics (e.g. signal dispersion) of deepwater. The DSS signal addresses the signal dispersion and noise interference effects, and the SHM (2) is able to point the signal down such that the effect of ray-bending (curving of the signal towards the surface) is counter-acted.
In an application such as that exemplified in
The present station (1) may also be utilised to measure and/or monitor underwater currents. That is, the station (1) may be located in an area where it is desirable to monitor or measure the current of the water. The SHM (2) is again allowed to float above the station (1) and move in response to the current. The tracking system already explained, again allows the relative position of the SHM (2) to the station (1) to be determined. By knowing the flotation properties of the split head system, the relative current flow can be determined based on the position of the split head.
Whilst the method and apparatus of the present invention has been summarised and explained, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many widely varying embodiments and applications are within the scope of the present invention, and that the information presented herein should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention.
Furthermore, although embodiment of the invention have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various modifications an substitutions, as well as rearrangements of equipment, parts, components and process steps can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the novel scope of the invention.

The value of business cards in modern business can be debated. Our position is that if you invest in one, you need to make it worth while. The Measure business card does 3 very important things. It creates a memorable and tactile user experience—embossed, folded and sealed with a perforated label—the card begs you to open and experience the inside. It speaks volumes about what design does as a profession. The exterior of the card is a clean and visually stunning presentation, i.e. the result of design. The interior of the card represents the process of design through a series of custom icons that symbolize many of the fundamental design processes, methods and principles. Lastly, using labels to seal the card with customizable employee information allows the card shell to have a much longer life. The card is unique, interactive and tactile, and every time it's handed out it results in a discussion. That's powerful design.

Emily Blunt in James Jeans
For the most part, I think Emily Blunt seems to fly under the paparazzi radar, especially considering she's married to a celebrity! She was snapped stocking up on groceries at Whole Foods.
We usually see Emily out in J Brand but this time she wore a pair of James Jeans Twiggy skinny jeans in slate wash with a simple tee shirt. We've started to see more and more celebrities out in James jeans recently and with all of the great washes, I'm sure they're going to get more popular. You can buy these jeans online for $123.
Jason Segal in J Brand
Jason Segal joined cast-mates Emily Blunt and Alison Brie for lunch in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The trio were also joined by Emily's husband John Krasinski. They will be staring in the upcoming film, Five Year Engagement.
Like his lunch companion, Emily, Jason also donned a pair of J Brand jeans. He wore a pair of J Brand's Kane Straight Leg jeans in Raw wash, a pair of leather sneakers and a simple button down. You can buy these jeans online at J Brand for $158.
Emily Blunt in J Brand
Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski were seen out in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The two were also joined by Jason Segel, Alison Brie and Chris Patt. They all appear in the new film, Five Year Engagement with Emily. The film was co-written with Nicholas Stoller, who wrote Get Him to the Greek.
Emily wore a pair of J Brand's Agnes moto skinny jeans in Worn Onyx. I love these pants and I think they're a more flattering version of the Houlihan, since it doesn't have a pocket to add bulk. Buy these jeans at J Brand for $218.
Emily Blunt in J Brand Houlihan & Denim Jacket
Emily Blunt was snapped by the paps as she was returning to her car after leaving a hair salon in West Hollywood, California yesterday. I love this outfit on her, I think she paired everything together so well! It's really cute and casual but on trend.
Emily was wearing a pair of J Brand Houlihan cargo pants which she paired with a medium wash denim jacket, black ankle boots, a striped tee and a printed scarf. It's such a good combination in my opinion! Do you love the outfit too? You can buy J Brand Houlihan pants and denim jackets at Singer22.com.

Whether it was Palm Harbor University wrestling producing its first individual state champion, Jared Prince, or the East Lake boys and girls soccer teams exciting fans with deep postseason runs, area student-athletes put on quite a memorable show this year.
During a ceremony last week, many of the coaches who helped guide those top performances gained a little recognition for their efforts.
The Pinellas County Athletic Conference held its 2013 Coach of the Year Luncheon on June 3, at which peers from each sport select the one coach that stood out among the rest.
And of the 20 total sideline leaders recognized, 10 came from North Pinellas schools.
Six of those 10 steered East Lake High School teams and were: Terry O'Reilly, boys golf; Timothy O'Keefe, girls swimming; Alex Stenson, boys soccer; Sergei Stopek, girls soccer; Dan Genna, baseball; and Britt Taylor, girls track.
The four other North Pinellas coaches recognized were: PHU's Darryl Southard, girls cross country, and Kerry Katchuk, softball; Dunedin's Kassandra Will, volleyball; and Countryside's Ian O'Neil, boys swimming.
Four student-athletes were also honored at the luncheon, including Dunedin wrestler Clarence Arrington. The senior won his second straight Class 2A state title this season and earned the Knology Athlete of the Year award.
Receiving the Henry Deck Award for male and female athletes of the year in the county were Jack Maguire of St. Petersburg High, who won the Class 2A boys golf state title, and Tianah Alvarado of Lakewood High, a top girls basketball prospect.
The Mike McPheron Award, which recognizes a student-athlete who overcame life challenges to achieve personal and athletic success, went to Lakewood High's Shaquem Griffin. Griffin, a defensive back who will play at the University of Central Florida next season, was born with a deformed hand that eventually was amputated.
MLB draft recap: A handful of North Pinellas-bred baseball players got calls from Major League Baseball teams last week during the annual first-year player draft.
Leading the pack was former PHU pitcher Kyle Westwood, now at the University of North Florida, selected in the 13th round by Houston.
Seven rounds later in the 20th, Seattle picked up Saint Leo catcher Daniel Torres, a Countryside grad.
Rounding out the trio of area selections was Dalton Martinez, son of Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Dave Martinez. Dalton did not play for an area high school this season after being with Countryside for his first three years.

Gee, how often do I have to write this word???
Thursday, June 13, 2013
Confession, yet AGAIN!!! It is so strange, but more often than not one messed up day clears the road to another one and another one and so on... yes, it was all mucked up again, and the munchies made themselves comfortable.
It all started with going to donate blood. I had never done so before for the sole reason that they didn't want my blood at various times when I tried. At times it was for low iron levels (enough for me but not enough to donate) and other time I had been in tropical countries within the last 12 months or something like it... and then of course I was pregnant and my iron was rather abyssal... hmmm, it is rather strange that my iron often is rather low, I most certainly don't look like an anemic person, way too dark for it... but I digress... anyways, today I braved the needle and hoped the iron played along which it did (no one actually tells you how much that jolly needle actually hurts to put in and to take out again... and I used to be a nurse, I should know). Even if you have never donated blood before (like myself) you most likely know that there is always lots of treats to be eaten afterwards to get some sugar into you. I have to confess, it had slipped my memory though, so I wasn't really mentally prepared for it, yet I restrained from the sweets but drank some OJ, ate an apple, 2 mandarins and was still hungry, really hungry, and had some savory crackers... I left the place still hungry though... so I fell into the munchies trap once again... I was SO cold the rest of the day and hungry and my arm hurt (pity party.. . I'm much better now though).
So, I was munching today, but I tried to stay away from unhealthy options, but rather munched on apples, apple sauce, some cheese, mango and some honey on bread... unfortunately I can't even remember everything, let alone track it for today... ou well... I won't let this defeat me though. I will not take it as an excuse to mindlessly start binging again, saying "On Monday, that's when I will be a "good" girl again, until then I will have fun without limits" in other words stuff myself stupid. I WILL NOT!!!!! So, I had two munchy days... SO WHAT???? Tomorrow is a new day with a new glorious chance.
And boy, am I grateful that I don't HAVE to be perfect, that everyone mucks up at times, yet there is always a new chance around the corner again and again... AND I'm grateful for frog beanies... wouldn't you agree??? Especially if that beany happens to be on top of such a little, adorable tyke.

I recently installed Ubuntu on the entire hard drive because I do not want Windows. But now that installed my display resolution is really not optimal. Resolution in the menu, I have no choice manager and driver, there are no drivers. (otherwise, everything else seems to work well).
As for my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 2600. I did a "test equipment" where I was notified that the display resolution was not good, but they do nothing more.
That is what I have in typing the command lspci:

Johnson County pulls in less federal road funding than other central Indiana counties, but Greenwood's mayor hopes to bring in more of that money.
During the past decade, Greenwood has gotten less in federal road money than Carmel, Plainfield or Avon, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization. Greenwood and other Johnson County governments have gotten about $38 million overall, while Carmel and other Hamilton County governments have received more than $67
million during the same period.
Avon, which has a smaller population than Greenwood, got about $5 million more than Greenwood over the past decade.
Mayor Mark Myers said he hopes to bring a greater share of those federal dollars into Greenwood for major road projects such as the planned transformation of Worthsville Road into an east-west corridor. He said he'll try to persuade planning organization members that Greenwood is a fast-growing community that has a need for those dollars.
"We'll let them know who we are, what options we have and that we're a growing, thriving community," he said.
The planning agency awarded Greenwood about $11 million in federal funds over the past decade, such as for the pedestrian bridge over Smith Valley Road and the expansion of Emerson Avenue to five lanes. Greenwood typically has to pay 20 percent of a project's cost with local tax dollars in order to get the federal money.
Much of the money is awarded through the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization, a regional agency that decides how federal dollars are divvied up to build new roads and trails throughout central Indiana.
Communities across the nine-county area have representatives on the board that picks which projects best meet the criteria for federal funding, such as how much congestion would be lessened if a road were widened.
Indianapolis gets much of the funding because of its size, but more than 30 other local governments in the metropolitan area also try to get those dollars.
For example, Carmel has received $22 million over the past 10 years for a variety of projects. Northside communities often are awarded federal road funding partly because their streets are some of the busiest in the region, and they're the most populous of the communities surrounding Indianapolis, planning organization principal planner Steve Cunningham said.
The northside also gets more federal dollars for trails projects because the White River has a lot of tributaries on the northside but doesn't south of downtown, Cunningham said. Trails often line those flood-prone tributaries because little can be built on that land and it is best suited for recreation.
Myers said that he and Greenwood community development services director Mark Richards plan to meet more often with regional planning officials and make the case for the city's projects. Greenwood has several projects it could use federal funding for, such as the long-planned Worthsville Road expansion that would serve as part of an east-west corridor.
But they'll face challenges, including that there's been a shift in focus on how federal road dollars are spent. Much of that federal money traditionally has gone to pay for new or wider roads, but now maintaining existing roads has become the priority, Cunningham said.
The planning organization judges each project on its own merits, he said. Planners and the board don't favor particular areas, but they have to consider where the most traffic and residents are when evaluating projects, he said.
Planners who work for the organization consider requests for money, evaluate which best meet federal criteria for how money is spent and then make recommendations to a board of community representatives. The board decides which projects to fund.
Cunningham said the planning organization has funded several projects in Greenwood over the years and that he believed the organization and the city had a good working relationship.
Myers said Greenwood should make more of an effort to secure federal funding that often ends up being spent on the northside.
"There's less money, and I'm tired of Carmel winning it all," he said. "They just got more funding for 96th and Keystone and 106th and Keystone. But, of course, a lot of work goes on up there."
Myers said a major reason why Carmel was successful in securing so much federal money is because it also has enough to pay the local shares. Carmel's tax-increment financing districts generate more than $100 million a year in revenue, allowing the city to have enough money to pledge 20 percent or more to most projects it wants federal funding for.
Communities across central Indiana can get more federal funding if they pursue more projects, get design and preliminary work done themselves and offer to pay more than the 20 percent share that's usually required with federal projects, Cunningham said.
For instance, Fishers has offered to pay for half of a project, Cunningham said. The projects still have to be worthy, but federal dollars can be spread around instead of tied up in one project when communities volunteer to pay more than what's required, he said.
The money ultimately will go to whatever projects most closely meet federal criteria, such as to lessen congestion and improve air quality, he said.

A local master sergeant received a top honor for his heroic actions while deployed overseas.
Master Sgt. Donovan Petty, with the 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion at Camp Lejeune, was awarded the Silver Star Medal Monday.
Petty was serving in Afghanistan in 2012 when his element was engaged by insurgent personnel.
The Silver Star is the third highest valor award after the Navy Cross and the Medal of Honor.
Master Sgt. Petty said he was a little embarrassed to get the Silver Star because he's not a hero. He says he was just dong his job, and he was working with probably the best group of guys he's ever worked with.
The award was presented to Petty 11 a.m at the MARSOC headquarters aboard Stone Bay in Camp Lejeune.
