This project will train the intern in using artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision to improve aircraft tracking in airports. Specifically, the intern will work on automating the measurement of the Runway Occupancy Time (ROT) in aircraft, reducing the need for manual tracking and increasing accuracy. The project involves designing a multi-camera system to track […]

Toronto Pearson Airport (operated under the Greater Toronto Airport Authority – GTAA) is Canada’s largest airport in terms of total passenger traffic and North America’s second largest in terms of international traffic. With daily non-stop flights to many of the world’s economies, we move people and goods across the country, the continent and around the […]

L’exposition au bruit ambiant en milieu urbain a des effets néfastes sur la santé et le bien-être des populations selon l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé. Parmi les sources de bruits, ceux engendrés par les aéronefs figurent souvent en tête de liste dans les grandes métropoles. Dans cette optique, Bell Textron Canada Limitée (fabricant d’hélicoptères) en […]

Maritime shipping currently emits 2.89% of the world greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and it is estimated that the sector will reach the road transportation level by 2060. International environmental regulations push the industry to lower their GHG emissions, but the feasibility and viability of future green energy is uncertain. Shore power, also known as cold […]

This internship is part of CRIAQ’s structuring project “CRIAQ-1645 Digital Aerospace”, whose goal is to identify converging trends between aerospace and information and communication technologies (ICT). This project will help in program orientation, for inferring R&D needs in the short, medium and long-term, so to develop digital capabilities that will be more and more important […]

Bombardier started a few years ago the development of new architectures for aircraft control systems in a of a larger Internal R&D activity named XDIMA: Highly Integrated Control Systems on Distributed Integrated Modular Architecture. The main hurtle along this activity has been the increase in complexity which requires changes of best engineering practice. One of […]

Maintenance Engineering (ME) at Bombardier Aerospace, Toronto is currently offering a 3-day-in-class Reliability and Maintenance Cost Training to airlines operating Bombardier products. The idea behind this training package is to increase the understanding of the breadth of data that needs to be collected to make logical inferences and analytical methods that can be applied to […]

This project is a statistical study to verify whether the average interval between each heavy maintenance inspection checks, also known as C-Checks, can be escalated from 6000 Flight Hours (FH) to 8000 FH for Q400 aircraft. The internship serves as a crucial part of this heavily analysis- and review-oriented process. Interns are responsible for three […]

With the rise in fuel prices, operators are constantly pushing aircraft manufacturers to find new ways to reduce their aircraft’s operating costs. One of the objectives of this project is to create a Bombardier toolkit for the C Series. This will allow the operators to input parameters such as the miss-rigging present on their control […]

This research project is intended to develop and maintain a database for collection and storing of data for the direct operational maintenance cost of an Aircraft. This research will investigate and develop an improved database structure which will lead to better analysis of the Direct Maintenance Cost or DMC incurred by operators of the aircraft. […]

Airlines must continuously strive to reduce operating and maintenance costs [1]. Bombardier has continuous target to meet customer expectations for maintenance cost reduction. Bombardier purchases parts from its OEM suppliers and sell parts to Bombardier customers for maintenance. However, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft (BCA) is concerned about aftermarket cost with OEM supplier in the market. At […]

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a better way of managing project on the weekly or monthly basis. The EVM allows managers to be on top of their project budgets and deadlines. When managers complete projects on time, and within budget, the projects are said to have earned value. With the increased number of information available […]
