The requirements of this project would be to determine the optimal orientation of the display screens and visor with respect to the user’s eyes. In order to do this, the person undertaking this project will be required to gain an understanding of existing augmented reality systems, how they work, and how their application can be […]

Attacks on connected vehicles require special attention and there is a need for new sophisticated security solutions that will cover the integration of different domains in connected vehicles and help proactively address potential threats to connected vehicles. The overall goal of this project is to provide various security solutions for integrity, access control, availability, and […]

Le projet consiste à développer des algorithmes permettant de créer des secteurs pour les clients de Fastercom. Afin d’y parvenir, différentes méthodes de Machine Learning seront évaluées et implémentées. Cette création de secteurs permettra d’améliorer la performance des algorithmes de la compagnie en découpant le gros problème d’optimisation de tournées de véhicules en petits problèmes […]

Au cours des cinq dernières années, les systèmes de perception embarqués dans les véhicules intelligents deviennent moins dispendieux et donc plus populaires pour les applications de conduite automatisée. Ils permettent à la fois de détecter les obstacles, d’estimer leur distance relative par rapport au véhicule, de les classer et de suivre leur déplacement relatif en […]

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens are ubiquitous in hospitals and community settings. New antibiotics against unexploited targets are urgently needed to better control such infections. The proposed research aims to identify novel, drug targets and therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogens, capitalizing on a proprietary indel-targeting approach that takes advantage of structural differences between homologous essential human […]

Machine-to-machine (M2M) devices are defined as the equipments which do not require a direct human interaction for communicating to each other. M2M networks are predicted to have a large end-user market in the near future with numerous potential applications, such as home automation, patient monitoring, transportation, and smart metering. Currently, the main bottleneck is to […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

The main purpose of this project is to develop an enhanced portable ground Control Station (GCS) equipped with an Advanced Stand-Alone Virtual Reality Head Mounted Display (ASVR-HMD). In the beginning, a Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) stand-alone Virtual Reality (VR) headset would be connected to the flight simulation tool. The VR HMD will be used to visualize basic […]

This study aims to produce a feasibility report on establishing a district energy system in Toronto, Ontario. The district energy system will be powered by wood chips sourced by a local, privately held forest and transported by rail to the proposed combined heat and power facility. Areas that will be examined in this study include […]

The internship for each student will be under the supervision of Gilles Bourque PhD, the Combustion Research and Technology Team Leader. Mr Bourque has been working for the past 12 years at RR Canada of which 10 in the Combustion department. The student will be an integral part of his team and as such will […]

Dans le contexte du vieillissement marqué de la population, exacerbé en milieu rural, la recherche proposée documentera, en partenariat avec le projet Culture aux aînés, les effets d’une réponse alternative pour contrer le sentiment de solitude, l’isolement et l’exclusion sociale des aînés au moyen des arts et de la culture. La recherche analysera les interventions […]

Quaternary glacial deposition has covered much of southern Ontario with tills and the Saint Lawrence Valley with marine fines. Rivers incised into these materials exhibit particular geomorphologic behavior. Civil engineering works built either in (e.g. dams, bridge piers, etc.), beside (linear infrastructure such as roads, railways, etc.) or across (e.g. bridges, etc.) such rivers must […]
