Ce projet concerne la surveillance de chantier des travaux d’infrastructures municipales. Il s’agit d’uniformiser les pratiques et de fournir de nouveaux outils pour aider les donneurs d’ouvrages à définir leurs mandats. Le guide créé sera simple, accessible et adaptable aux différentes situations que l’on retrouve en milieu municipal, afin de conseiller également les chargés de […]

In the Internet of Things (IoT), physical objects are connected to achieve a variety of applications. Many rural and remote communities lack the fast connectivity to the Internet that will allow the advent of IoT. This project aims at providing this connectivity by exploiting unused TV channels, gradually made available by a growing number of […]

Aujourd’hui, la méconnaissance de la localisation précise des réseaux d’infrastructures souterraines (télécommunications, électricité, gaz, eau…) ainsi que les mauvaises techniques d’excavation conduisent à de nombreux accidents lors de travaux à proximité de ces réseaux. Dans un contexte où en 2015 au Québec, on dénombre près de 5 bris d’infrastructures souterraines en moyenne par jour (dont […]

This project will develop a temperature sensing and control system for microfluidic systems. Microfluidic systems are devices that can move and analyze small volumes of liquid for many applications, including health care applications. The temperature control system will be made up of several components. The first is essentially a thermometer. This thermometer will use an […]

A laser-optics vehicle profiling system will be designed and developed in this project. The image of a laser line projected onto the surface of a vehicle from a vantage point will be used to make metric measurements on the vehicle and to develop a 3D model of it. It is conjectured that this setup would […]

Ciena is a manufacturer and a provider of networking solutions. The company wants to be able to emulate the different software and hardware components in a very flexible way so that the emulation platform can be available to any user. The emulation allows the user recreate a networking environment to be able to know, beforehand, […]

Geomechanica Inc. develops simulation software (Irazu) for rock engineering applications. This numerical software has been used in several peer-reviewed research publications in the rock mechanics field. A key challenge in the numerical modelling of rock masses is the selection of appropriate input parameters. The objective of this work is to develop a solution to streamline […]

In warm climates warm temperatures cause thermal stratification in hydropower reservoirs inhibiting mixing and leading to deoxygenation of waters at depth (hypolimnium). Turbines withdrawing water at depth result in low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the downstream flow having a large negative impact on the downstream riverine ecosystem. Legislation in the USA and elsewhere now requires […]

Smartphone use continues to grow rapidly. With this growth, come significantly more challenging security and privacy threats than preceding generations of mobile devices given that they exist as completely developed computing platforms running established operating systems. Smartphones, therefore, are largely subject to similar malware and attack vectors that have grown to be commonplace within standard […]

The objective of this project is, firstly, to evaluate the performance of various adsorbents using various techniques for gas separation and purification applications of commercial interest; and secondly, to optimize and modify the current PSA setup at Xebec Ads. Company. The proposed project will examine various adsorbents provided by Xebec Adsorption Inc. to determine their […]

Mobile Network Carriers are experiencing data traffic at such high levels that congestion is becoming an increasing problem. High levels of malicious traffic generated from smartphones could potentially bring down the carriers network. As such, mobile carriers are exploring new methods to reduce this congestion. This research focuses on simplifying the problem of identifying which […]

Les mines à ciel ouvert génèrent de grandes quantités de stériles miniers. Selon leur composition, les stériles peuvent être potentiellement contaminants lorsqu’exposés à l’air et à l’eau. Une bonne connaissance des propriétés des stériles permet donc de mieux planifier leur gestion afin de réduire les risques environnementaux. Le projet consiste à réaliser une modélisation géo-environnementale […]
