“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

The Halifax Port Authority (HPA) is launching a study that will examine aquatic ecosystems in the Halifax Harbour. This work will support HPA in better understanding local ecosystems that have the potential to be affected by port operations and thus determine the port’s zones of influence. This research study will help to establish benchmarks for […]

This project aims to develop advanced statistical methods to forecast how many passengers will be waiting at bus stops at any given time, considering various factors such as weather and special events. This project will do two main things. First, we will forecast the overall number of passengers over a given period, such as an […]

An emerging concept in urban transportation systems is utilization of small electric vehicles that meet the demands for enclosed personal mobility. These types of vehicles are generally small and lightweight but require much less space than more conventional vehicles such as the Smart Car. Furthermore, the vehicle is all battery electric. Recent developments have utilized […]

The main purpose of this cluster proposal is to test the hypothesis of whether the Customer Services & Support Department of Bombardier Commercial Aircraft Division can develop new business models to transform itself into a profit center within the Bombardier’s organization. To carry out this test, a thorough investigation of the after-sale needs, wants and […]

The effective planning of resources when scheduling maintenance tasks and repair jobs is an enormous challenge, especially for heavy industries such as aerospace and transportation manufacturers. In such industries, because of the product complexity and variety, not to mention continuous technological improvements, a broad range of maintenance tasks and high-performance services should be done over […]

This research project aims to make the process of moving cargo from trains to shipping containers more efficient. We’re going to create smart plans and ways to organize this process better, making sure the cargo is packed into containers in the best way possible. By doing this, we aim to reduce the time it takes […]

Les travailleurs des ports sont des travailleurs à risques d’être exposés à différents types de poussières et de particules, différents gaz et vapeurs ainsi que différents contaminants de type physique comme le bruit. Certaines maladies professionnelles sont d’ailleurs associées à ce milieu de travail. Les stratégies d’évaluation des expositions professionnelles sont des démarches d’hygiène du […]

This research project aims to improve the comfort of automotive seating by evaluating a new vibration massage system developed by our partner company and developing a pressure sensing software that can monitor how people respond to the vibration massage system. The project will integrate the vibration system with the software and introduce additional features such […]

This project aims to investigate the potential reuse of dredged materials (DMs), which are generated as waste during maintenance activities for navigable areas, in the construction field. This will help construction industry in facing the surge in demand for raw materials to produce concrete and other construction products. To tackle both challenges sustainably, this project […]

In partnership with Antek Logistics Inc, the project will investigate how computer vision algorithms can help automate day-to-day operations in a warehouse. Novel algorithms will be developed to automatically identify and count pallets and containers within the warehouse for inventory tracking. We will also develop algorithms to detect damage severity on incoming pallets. The project […]

In warehouses, it’s important to know where forklifts are for safety and efficiency. Visual SLAM is a promising approach for forklift localization and navigation for indoor applications, but current methods have problems like being slow, not understanding what they see, and being affected by changes in light. This project aims to solve these problems and […]
