This study is focusing on using real demand (number of passengers in each station) and historical weather data to find the best (optimal) location of charging station and their charging duration for a bus route that deploys battery electric buses. In addition, this study tries to find the best arrangement of using holding points for […]

Recent years have witnessed a boom in the construction of modern high-rise buildings in megacities around the world. Since many of these megacities are also located in seismically active regions, it is important to design a high-rise building that can effectively withstand both wind and earthquake loads. Nonetheless, in current practice, the design of high-rise […]

Le projet de plateforme dynamique d’échanges de Symbiose agroalimentaire Montérégie (SAM) vise à permettre aux entreprises d’échanger directement entre elles diverses ressources tout en leur permettant d’être reconnu dans la région de la Montérégie pour leurs pratiques circulaires. Cette plateforme territoriale répertoriera les entreprises de la Montérégie participant au projet de SAM ainsi que leurs […]

An excessive amount of end-of-life (EOL) textile in Canadian thrift stores have been reported since the first wave of COVID-19 in March 2020. The donated clothes have gradually filled the thrift stores and a management plan is urgently needed. The quantity and composition of EOL textile, as well as the seasonal variations, are poorly understood. […]

Carbon Footprint and Mitigation Planning for Waste Services at the City of Edmonton

The City of Edmonton developed the City Plan to help guide the growth of Edmonton towards the two-million people horizon. The City Plan envisions a more dense and sustainable City with a wide range of transportation options available for all Edmontonians. As Edmonton welcomes more people, additional transportation options will be required in the City. […]

The goal of this project is to help understand how patient descriptions of joint pain and disability relate to the mechanical properties of joint tissues to better design solutions for patients. This project will focus on developing ultrasound methods to quantitatively measure the biomechanical properities and function of human joint soft-tissue. The project will start […]

This project is to develop a micromirror with large static translation displacement and high surface quality by combining two microfabrication processes. Based on the developed micromirror, the next generation alcohol interlock technology, i.e., MEMS (MicroElectroMechanial System) FTIRS alcohol interlock will be developed and commercialized in collaboration with ACS to overcome the limitations of the current […]

The newly emerging field of printable electronics is expected to facilitate widespread low-cost electronic devices for applications such as flexible displays, identification labels, wearable electronics and rapid prototyping. This field incorporates a variety of printing technologies with conductive ink to deposit conductive traces on any material. However, companies like Voltera, who are creating new technologies […]

La position aérodynamique caractéristique du patinage de vitesse courte piste requiert une mobilité importante des articulations des membres inférieurs. En particulier l’angle de flexion dorsale de la cheville semble être un des paramètres de performance clés dans ce sport. L’objectif principal de notre projet consiste donc à développer une nouvelle méthode pour mesurer l’angle de […]

Le projet vise à combiner l’étude du comportement humain avec l’analyse de la prise de décision séquentielle afin d’augmenter les connaissances sur la prise de décision séquentielle dans un environnement incertain. Il vise aussi à mesurer l’impact de l’intelligence collective et de la gestion des connaissances individuelles sur la capacité de prédiction du modèle de […]

Within the production process of Meltblown filtration materials for facial mask manufacturing, there is a considerable generation of clean waste of Meltblown polypropylene (PP) fabric. The direct disposal of these clean PP wastes represents a significant economic loss and, moreover, poses serious environmental pollution since PP is a non-biodegradable polymer that may take hundreds of […]
