Traffic accident data aggregation relates with boundary issues is OTS's first project with University of Calgary. Several years of collision data, traffic network and neighborhood will be collected from OTS. This project contains implicit knowledge to improve the data aggregation method which has significant impact of data sharing on neighborhood boundaries. The first part of […]

For many persons with disabilities, for example those living with cognitive or visual impairments, it is often impossible to drive a personal vehicle and to travel independently, whether to school, to therapy, to their work place or to visit their friends. Because of their challenges, they must rely on caregivers or family members for transport, […]

In this project we will conduct Social network analysis (SNA) of MyCA user network, in order to assess the interplay between social influence and the diffusion of information within the MyCA platform. SNA offers a convenient method to represent and analyze interactions among the components of a system. SNA can thus provide an abstract representation […]

The objectives of the research are to identify and quantify barriers to energy efficiency in Ontario Hospitals, and to identify methods to confront these barriers, focusing largely on the efficacy of revolving funds. Research findings will contribute to improving financing mechanisms for energy efficiency measures to greater mobilize their implementation in Ontario Hospitals.

Accelerated Systems is a leader in the design and implementation of control systems for electric vehicles; especially vehicles driven by permanent-magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motors.  One of the key technological challenges in the use of BLDC motors is that traditional control, especially at low speeds, requires external sensors to determine the rotor position.  These external […]

Vancouver’s rental market is Canada’s most expensive. Financial constraints and need for more space often push families outside of the down-town area towards suburban areas. This research will propose a new type of housing likely to increase Vancouver’s retention capabilities towards this type of inhabitant. Census information shows that a net loss of 2% of […]

Data analysis plays an important role in healthcare as it enables service providers to discover hidden knowledge in the data, allowing them make more informed decisions about patients’ health. The continuing increase in the amount of data and lack of skilled people, however, has made data analysis very challenging. This project aims at developing web-based […]

With the growth of the social networks and mobile gaming devices in recent years, the social gaming became an important part of the game industry. These social games provide huge amount of data about the users’ behaviors, an important issue for the gaming companies is to analyze this data and model the choices and behavior […]

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease affecting over 80% of the human population above 75 years old and burdening health organizations worldwide. Osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive joint degeneration resulting in chronic pain and loss of joint function. Currently there is no cure for osteoarthritis; available treatments are only symptomatic targeting pain […]

C-Therm Technologies' TCi Thermal Analyzer, measures quickly and non-destructively the thermal properties of liquids, powders, pastes and solids with very low conductivity and up to 120 W/mK. The TCi controller currently communicates with a single PC host using a limited resource 8 bit microcontroller. In this project we will investigate the firmware changes needed to […]

Incorporating the Two-stage Variable Capacity Air Source Heat Pump (TS-VC-ASHP) into Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPV/T) system has the potential to reduce building heating and cooling costs and dependence on non-renewable heating fuels. ASHPs could boost the quality and quantity of heat output of a BIPV/T system by delivering a seasonal Coefficient of Performance (COP) of […]

Ultraviolet (UV) photoreactors for water treatment comprise UV lamps encased in quartz sleeves, immersed in the water to be treated. Over time, these quartz sleeves become fouled with materials from the water, reducing the amount of UV available for treatment. This phenomenon requires that the systems be over-sized and often include costly automatic cleaning systems […]
