pointA is seeking an intern to provide a marketing and sales support to develop a strategy to expand its Best Workplaces for Commuters designation, which was developed by the US Department of Transportation and Environmental Protection Agency in 1999. pointA is the first Canadian partner to bring this designation to Canada to provide employers of […]

The research project examines fast aerodynamic numerical models for use in the aircraft analysis and design phase. Such models must be rapid by their very formulation whilst also removing needs for complex preprocessing steps such as mesh generation. The chosen approach is known in the literature, using a coupling algorithm between 2D high-fidelity and 3D […]

Public rail transit maintenance includes ensuring that rails are free from the corrugation that develops naturally as trains traverse the rail. Detecting corrugation typically requires manual measurement of rail condition using a specialized measurement trolley. In a recent study we established a relationship between corrugation and the noise level produced by the train suggesting that […]

Low-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight operations are regulated by safety protocols provided by aviation authorities, particularly in the vicinity of crowded airspace e.g. airports. With a fast-growing market for and penetration of commercial UAVs, the possibility of UAV intrusions within controlled airspace is expected to increase, despite these regulations. At lower altitudes, this increases […]

In smart factories, the seamless operation of operations heavily relies on efficient fleet management of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). While fleet management algorithms play a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations, they may encounter difficulties in effectively handling conflicts and tracking the performance of AMRs. To address these limitations and develop an enhanced fleet management […]

The vehicle routing problem and its extensions have been successful in optimizing a measure such as time or cost, but only when these measures can be accurately estimated or approximated. However, this is not the case in complex environments. Particularly in urban routing, it is generally complicated, and efficient routing requires tacit knowledge of the […]

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

One of the most important pieces of equipments used in maritime transportation for Self-Unloading (SUL) bulk carriers is the “conveyor belt,” which allows the ship to be a very effective and competitive solution. However, the conveyor belts use much energy, which means huge consumption of fuel materials that lead to the emission of polluting gases […]

Geotab‘s dash cams deliver a clear and complete picture of harsh driving events and provide crucial video evidence in the case of collisions and insurance disputes. It is essential to ensure the dashcams work well and capture high quality footage. The object of this project is to automatically detect dash cam installation faulty and monitor […]

Road safety affects everyone. In an effort to reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioural patterns that are predictive of accidents, and the environmental factors involved. In order to analysis risks, at first, collect a rich set of data: including Latitude/Longitude, engine RPM, accelerometer data in the X, Y, and Z plane, […]

Improving road safety has a direct impact on the lives of drivers as well as the costs incurred by companies operating commercial vehicles. One important aspect of road safety is timely and effective vehicle maintenance. By forecasting vehicle maintenance needs and predicting breakdowns before they occur, valuable insights can be provided to drivers and fleet […]

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data from over 2 million connected vehicles we have an opportunity to make our customers safer, as well as our communities and cities. In an effort to reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioural patterns that are […]
