Un cadre de référence propre à l’organisation doit être développé intégrant des critères et indicateurs en développement durable et permettant de guider les processus de gestion de la rénovation de manière holistique et intégrée. Cependant, l’atteinte de la performance durable de la rénovation des bâtiments existants constitue un problème complexe à résoudre pour une organisation […]

Rail transit and freight rail properties apply rail grinding to maintain rail condition and ensure satisfactory performance of rail infrastructure systems. The proposed research investigates and applies a variety of computationally intelligent algorithms to establish useful relationships between rail corrugation, noise generation, and vibration. These relationships will support more timely and effective rail grinding interventions. […]

The aviation safety is the vital component in global air transport system. As the accidents are the results of complex interactions of various risks and contributing factors, the key to avoid accidents will be proactively identifying such risks and contributing factors and mitigating them beforehand. To support the risk identification, IATA, International Air Transport Association […]

The objective of the proposed project is to map all engineering processes involved in aeroelasticity calculations at Bombardier Aerospace and develop methods for holistic analysis and improvement of the aeroelasticity process, for the sake of performing better overall improvements and more realistic quantitative validations of those improvements. Existing methods and techniques for process mapping will […]

Un projet d’expansion portuaire soulève plusieurs enjeux de logistique portuaire, notamment en regard de la capacité des ressources portuaires actuelles et planifiées à assurer une fluidité du fret de l’entrée à la sortie du port. Parallèlement, une administration portuaire doit considérer une importante incertitude en matière de prévision d’un portfolio varié de fret non conteneurisé. […]

Implementation of alternative fuel technologies for public transportation modes stems from increasing environmental concerns, technological improvements, and increasing demand for autonomous transportation, which is well exhibited by recent trends to replace diesel buses with battery electric buses (e-bus). Yet, scheduling and operational planning of electric vehicle (EV)-based transit modes is challenging due to additional considerations […]

Vehicle scheduling is one of the main planning problems for transit agencies. While it is relatively simple to solve in the deterministic and single-depot setting, these assumptions are unrealistic in real-world applications. Specifically, ignoring major sources of uncertainty (such as travel times) and making decisions over average predictions can lead to inferior schedules that incur […]

This project investigates a complex freight consolidation and loading problem faced by Frontline Carrier Systems Inc., a leading transportation and supply chain provider in North America. Frontline seeks to optimize their transportation costs by minimizing the number of trucks required to ship a set of customer orders within a finite planning horizon. The problem integrates […]

(TTC) for improved public transit planning and better transit service delivery. With the implementation of PRESTO Card, TTC now generates real-time data on how often and where transit riders interact with the TTC’s infrastructure and network. PRESTO Card data allows new ways to capture transit demand in real-time and makes it possible to deploy state-of-the-art […]

New generation of civil transport aircraft presents interaction between flight mechanics and structural dynamics. Innovative CLaws have been developed to address this issue. They need to be verified thoroughly by high-fidelity simulations. For a research and development project, the traditional industrial verification process is too demanding and would be too time consuming. Indeed, each high-fidelity […]

La recherche vise à identifier les sources primaires d’incidents liés aux systèmes d’avions Bombardier, ainsi qu’à prévoir ces incidents à partir de données tirées des relevés de capteurs et des interventions de maintenance. Le projet a pour objectif le développement d’une approche systématique d’interprétation de l’ensemble de ces données temporelles et événementielles. Ce travail permettra […]

This project is designed to build a system and software that will monitor and analyze the Electrical Vehicle (EV) bearing anomalies and failures. We will develop a framework that will address the EV bearing failure modes, its effect, and the key features of each failure mode. Later, we will collect the bearing data at “Solution […]
