The Bus Design Innovation Program (BDIP) is an applied research and innovation initiative led by the Toronto Transit Commission in partnership with Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU International and Local 113) and Centennial College. Launched in 2023, the program aims to reimagine bus design to improve operator safety, passenger experience, and overall system resilience. The BDIP […]

Argo Transit Corporation provides municipalities with a turnkey, near door-to-door on-demand transit service that integrates software, onboard hardware, vehicles, and operational procedures. As Argo expands into more communities, the organization must ensure that service delivery remains reliable, consistent, and efficient across diverse operating environments. This project supports that goal by developing standardized processes, tools, and […]

The impacts of permafrost thaw on northern railways can lead to temporary speed restrictions (“slow orders”) imposed to mitigate operational risk until permanent remediation works are completed. These slow orders cause unpredictability in nominal train operating speeds and ultimately affect the reliability of long/heavy trains operating across successive slow-ordered segments. Little is known about how […]

This project focuses on helping engineers understand and trust the results produced by artificial intelligence systems used to monitor aircraft health. Modern aircraft generate large amounts of data, and AI models can detect unusual behavior or potential faults, but their outputs are often difficult for non-AI specialists to interpret. In this project, the interns will […]

A local small-to-medium enterprise (SME) is providing a student internship opportunity to lead a market research project aimed at validating demand for a new regional transportation concept.

Wastewater pump stations (WPS) are essential for managing wastewater in urban areas. They ensure wastewater is conveyed to treatment plants and prevent overflows of untreated wastewater into the environment. The main objective of this project is to develop an innovative and practical real-time WPS control framework. This framework will forecast wastewater inflows and optimize WPS […]

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 […]
