Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances. These pulses are combined with other data (Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and inertial navigation system (INS)) to precisely obtain the position of points over the shape of the earth and its surface […]

Canadian Communities are facing a tidal wave of physical infrastructure debt as their physical assets deteriorate due to age. This project aims to use urban LiDAR data (“streetscapes”) and computer vision to identify key physical assets such as (signs, curbs, centerline roads, streetlights, and other features) by there location (latitude / longitude) and key physical […]

Bridge infrastructure constitutes a substantial portion of national wealth of Canada, whose performance during earthquake events has a significant impact on the public safety. This study focuses on investigating the force-based and performance-based seismic design of bridges specified in the latest version of Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code 2014. Both experimental and numerical studies will […]
