MobilitiQ is a Canadian mobility-technology partner developing an AI-enabled, on-demand shared mobility platform that helps public-sector and private operators design, operate, and continuously improve flexible-route/flexible-schedule services. The organization’s core activities include: (i) integrating operational data sources (e.g., AVL/dispatch logs, booking/ride requests, service policies); (ii) building analytics to understand spatio-temporal demand patterns, service reliability, and operational […]

This project will investigate the use of automated and connected vehicle technologies as well as smart mobility technologies to improve Workzone Safety for Personnel undertaking road work in an urban or highway setting. In order to determine the most favourable technologies and how to apply them, the project will rely upon the use of resources […]

Steel pipelines as key Canadian infrastructure are often exposed to various geological and environmental conditions that cause defects such as cracks, dents, and gouges in the pipe wall, which can lead to pipe fracture in pipelines, compromising the entire pipeline’s functionality and resulting in significant economic losses, environmental issues or even fatalities. There are several […]

MOVE IT. YVR is a premium relocation company specializing in high-touch, white-glove moving services for luxury residential clients, developers, and corporate partners. As the organization continues to grow rapidly, its core operational challenge is the need to transition from a traditional, labour-intensive service workflow to a more data-enabled, systematized, and scalable operations model. The company […]

Luxury Transport Inc. is a leading provider of shuttle, charter, and private transportation services that connects passengers across the Lower Mainland and to Whistler. With a growing customer base, a diverse fleet, and variable seasonal demand, the company faces the challenge of maintaining high service reliability while controlling operational costs and ensuring efficient fleet utilization. […]

Private charter fleets are valuable mobile assets that, when efficiently managed, can generate substantial revenue for operators and owners. A key factor in maximizing profitability is achieving a high asset utilization rate. We propose the development of a large-scale adaptive digital twin for supporting private floating fleet repositioning, routing and matching decisions. The digital twin […]

This project develops and validates a tandem parking simulation and operating framework for large commuter organizations such as hospitals, universities, and municipal complexes facing persistent parking shortages. Conducted in partnership with pointA, a non-profit supporting sustainable commuter programs, the study explores how assigning two vehicles to a shared stall can safely and reliably increase effective […]

This study focuses on enhancing aviation safety by detecting and analyzing runway incursions—unauthorized entries of aircraft, vehicles, or personnel onto active runways—using high-resolution ADS-B data from Flightradar24 (FR24). Despite existing protocols, such incursions remain a significant threat to air traffic operations. The project aims to develop and validate algorithms capable of identifying critical events, such […]

The proposed project outlines a collaboration between researchers at Queen’s University and engineers at Bombardier Inc. In this collaboration, researchers would develop new computational tools and methods for designing quiet aircraft with considerations for the total weight of the aircraft. The proposed Mitacs internships will strengthen collaboration efforts between Queen’s and Bombardier and facilitate use […]

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 298 times that of CO2, significantly contributing to climate change through agricultural activities, particularly the application of fertilizers. Accurate and scalable prediction of N2O emissions is essential for sustainable agriculture and climate mitigation. Current methods, such as LSTM-DLM neural networks proposed in […]

Transport Canada is the regulatory agency in Canada that oversees the certification of RPAS (Remotely piloted aircraft systems) and has presented a roadmap for RPAS manufacturers to demonstrate the evidence that a given platform can meet safety objectives. The project will be completed by the iART alliance and aims to develop the technical evidence required […]
