Accident de la route au travail : qu’en est-il des travailleurs piétons?

Les travailleurs qui ne sont pas dans un véhicule mais directement sur la chaussée constituent un sous-groupe plus à risque lorsqu’il est question d’accident routier au travail (ART). Nous proposons d’étudier les relations entre les environnements de travail (dans la rue), le risque d’accident routier et les niveaux de stress que les travailleurs piétons expérimentent au quotidien à partir de méthodes de collecte (observations, senseurs et vidéos) développées par nos partenaires.

Feasibility Assessment of the Development of a Cost Effective Type-Specific Small Aircraft Simulator

This project aims to produce a proof-of-concept of a Diamond DA20 aircraft simulator to determine the feasibility of producing the simulator at a low cost while meeting Transport Canada requirements for a minimum of Level 5 Flight Training Device certification. Reducing cost without sacrificing fidelity of the flight simulator comes with many technical challenges which will require the collaboration of the Carleton University research team, OAS Flight Centre principals and staff, and the B-Con Engineering team. This project will provide OAS Flight Centre with a viable option for increasing its simulator capacity and student throughput. For B-Con, this project will provide a platform to demonstrate its technology for the projection of images onto non-flat surfaces as is applicable to the simulator industry. The feasibility assessment will be followed by the simulator manufacturing and eventual addition of motion cueing.

Building Information Modeling Enabled Dependency Risk Analysis for Resilient Building Design and Operation

The performance we require from our buildings is ever increasing. Heightened security needs, the push for increasingly efficient use of resources, improved comfort, flexibility of facility space, and changing threats from climate change or other environmental factors are some of the challenges facing designers and operators. There are a complex array of interrelated components that are necessary to confront these challenges. Integrating these systems effectively is essential to meeting the challenges facing designers while providing value to the client.
This project integrates building information models (BIM) with RiskLogik’s proprietary risk and resilience solutions to progress the design of complex buildings. This is accomplished by supporting the improved design of the interrelationships between building systems, such as mechanical, electrical, communications, and security systems and the operations that reside within the buildings. As a result, performance is improved by ensuring a resilient network of interconnections that reduces system conflicts and cascade effects.

A Healthy Workplace for a Healthy Workforce: Identifying Predictors of Health Impacting Workplace Productivity in the Mining Industry of Saskatchewan

The mining sector plays a huge role in the Saskatchewan economy, in addition to being the largest private sector employer of Aboriginal peoples in the province. It is important economically and socially for the mining workforce to be healthy and productive. Yet we know little about the impacts of physical and mental health on productivity, absenteeism, presenteeism and disability within the
industry. Effective health promotion is particularly important given the predominant demographics of the mining workforce: men, and in particular rural, Aboriginal and blue collar men, are far less likely
to have regular physical exams, seek health care, or proactively address mental health issues of excessive stress or depression.
This project will identify existing predictors of health and health behaviours that are impacting the productivity of the mining workforce. The goal is to determine ways to maximize health promotion
and worker wellness within a mine environment as a way to increase productivity by linking healthy workplace environments with healthy employees.

Multiphysics Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices, Circuits and Systems

Traditionally, the microchips that power our communications technology use electrical signals to compute, transfer, and store information. Silicon photonics (SiP) is an emerging field, where structures fabricated on those same microchips replace electrical signals with optical ones, enabling exciting new applications such as optical and wireless communications, bio/environment-sensing, and computing. These new optical microchips are known as photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
Design of modern PIC components and systems relies on a multi-scale and multi-physics approach to modeling and simulation that accurately and efficiently predicts performance. This project aims to extend the simulation

Assessment and Development of Swaged Mechanical Splicing Systems

An efficient utilization of reinforced concrete structures is highly dependent on the detailing of the reinforcing bars and their interaction with the surrounding concrete. Construction industry is gradually shifting toward incorporating the relatively new mechanical splicing technology to enhance structural integrity, accelerate workflow, minimize material waste and reduce project cost. The proposed research aims at conducting both experimental and numerical investigations to capture the actual behavior of a proposed mechanical splicing devices and to assess their structural performance when used in real structural members under various loading conditions. These couplers will provide solutions to existing construction issues related to surface bond characteristics and reinforcement vertical misalignment. The knowledge obtained from this study will provide Incon company with comprehensive information to improve their technologies and to enhance the quality of their products. The research outcomes will also be a valuable source for developing the relevant Canadian building codes and standards.

Calibration of a Novel Orifice Plate Flow-meter

Accurate measurements of mass flow rate in a pipe is crucial to virtually every industrial process where a fluid is moved from place to place. The velocity measured in a pipe is often determined by measuring the pressure drop over an orifice plate. Once this orifice plate is properly calibrated, the velocity and in turn, the mass flow through the pipe can be calculated. A downside of the orifice plates is that the plates need to be calibrated. Proper calibration of the orifice plate is essential so that that mass flow rate can be accurately predicted using the pressure drop measurements. KO designs has a developed a novel orifice plate flow meter in which the orifice area can be precisely varied. This means that the flow meter can operate over a much wider range of flow velocities and should be the flow meter of choice for applications which have large changes in flow rate. The intern will design and build a facility suitable for calibrating these flow meters and then perform the calibrations.

Developing a novel solar cell incorporating graphene and collaborative technologies

The rapid depletion of fossil fuels (such as Coal, Natural gas, Oil etc.) and the escalation in environmental pollution have prompted increased investigations in the field of alternative energy sources. In this context, solar cells are being studied to satisfy the increasing power needs of today’s society as photovoltaic power uses pollution-free energy source, solar energy. Silicon solar cells are still very expensive due to both the using of expensive materials and the employing costly processing steps. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a very promising type of solar cell because of their low cost, simple and inexpensive processes and straightforward scalability. Leveraging the architecture of DSSCs while using materials developed at multiple Canadian universities, this project aims to develop a solar cell for the consumer and commercial markets that is affordable and robust.

Real-time ultra-deep mining geotechnical hazard prediction using statistical algorithms

This project aims to develop, and implement a code for real-time geotechnical hazard assessment and reporting for ultra-deep mining. This pilot project will be tested on a real mining site the Glencore’s Nickel Rim South Mine near Sudbury. This algorithm will represent a step-change in the capability to assess and manage geotechnical risk in mining, which will have particular value in the high-stress geotechnical operating conditions of ultra-deep mines. The problem of geotechnical hazard assessment is amenable to risk identification methods developed recently in the field of “predictive analytics”, one of the most research intensive areas in computational science. Preliminary tests of a predictive analytics system carried out for rockburst hazard assessment at a deep Sudbury nickel mine demonstrated remarkable success in hazard predictability relative to previously deployed statistical methods. A major aspect of this research proposal is detailed testing and refinement of this method for the geohazard problem, focusing on creation of a continuous learning system that will refine hazard assessments in response to mining history. If successful, this will represent a fundamentally new and powerful approach to geotechnical hazard assessment in ultra-deep mines.

Developing advanced ore sorting sensing systems for gold deposits

This research focuses on novel sensor-based algorithms for sorting rocks and categorizing them as good (valuable) and bad (worthless) rocks. The sensors in the sorter will “see” the rocks characteristics, whether it’s their color or atomic density or the desired element and send a command to a mechanical arm, for example, to separate the two types of rock from each other. This technique minimizes the amount of material (by removing worthless rocks) that is sent to the downstream processing units therefore saving the mine a lot of operating cost and will keep mining sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Designing multi-family housing to boost social capital and psychological well-being

There is no more powerful correlate of human health and wellbeing than positive social relationships. Multi-family housing, through design, layout, and location, can exert a significant effect on local relationships, neighborhood trust and residents’ sense of belonging. We propose a program to gather, refine and illustrate the evidence linking design and social wellbeing in multi-family housing. Insights from environmental psychology, sociology and public health will be translated into accessible materials which will offer guidance for developers, builders, policymakers and the people who buy or rent homes in BC. Learnings will be shared in print and online.
