Ports play a pivotal role in the operations of global supply chains but face critical challenges such as increased congestion in cargo flows and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. A promising solution avenue is a better integration of port operations with land-based transportation networks, especially rail transportation. Such endeavour requires advanced operations management of port capacity […]

Road safety has been a major concern to everyone. Geotab has collected driving and environmental data from over 2 million connected vehicles, looking for the solution for safe communities and cities. To reduce accidents, it is needed to understand both driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents, and the environmental factors involved. To achieve […]

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. To reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioural patterns that are predictive of accidents, […]

Urban freight transportation plays an essential role in the future of smart and sustainable cities. The emerging of e-commerce, new business models, and evolving technologies will affect logistics efficiency, policymaking, and planning in the freight transportation context. Smart freight platforms will be the next generation of shared mobility in global supply chain and logistics. It […]

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 […]

Statistics Canada estimates that going forward, 25% of all Canadian work hours will be completed remotely, which means that remote work will be a permanent fixture of the Canadian labour force. Increasingly, workplaces are embracing completely remote or hybrid (a combination of remote and in-office work). Regardless, often these decisions are made by the workplace […]

This project will support the Airport Authority to innovate post-Covid through the introduction of new revenue streams that support diversification of our operation as well as introduce new leading edge opportunities in tourism and air industry best practice evidence. The project will enable us to be viable and expand our offerings in the market and […]

In January 1993 the oil tanker MV BRAER was transiting north of Scotland in the Shetland Islands. The ship was abandoned, adrift, and being blown towards rocky shores. A line could not be secured to the stricken vessel before it grounded and broke up causing a catastrophic oil spill. The MacDonald Hallett Oceans Protection Engineering […]

As we continue to evolve as an organization, finding efficiencies and modernizing processes will position SAAM to keep on providing supply chain capacity, ensuring the communities we serve keep on progressing and moving forward with efficiencies and better technological tools in place. The Helm Connect project will be at the forefront of this replacing our […]

L’objectif général du projet est de doter Keolis d’outils, de méthodes et de modèles lui permettant d’améliorer la prise de décision dans le cas de perturbations dans l’opération de ses réseaux de transport collectif. Le projet touche d’abord les méthodes de traitement de données permettant de calculer des indicateurs de performance reliés à l’opération des […]

The Canadian aviation industry is anxious to recovery from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. More air traveling requires more extensive application of aircraft de-icing fluid (ADF) to ensure aviation safety in freezing seasons. The major ingredients of ADF include anti-freeze agent (ethylene or propylene glycol), corrosive inhibitors, surfactants, pH buffers, polymers, and dyes. These chemicals […]
