Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is a steerable trenchless construction method adapted in the 1970’s from the horizontal oil well drilling technology. HDD has become a very successful worldwide technology for trenchless utility and pipeline installations becoming an annual multi-billion dollar industry across five continents. The HDD process involves considerable risks based on many hazards and […]

Hydra Energy Corporation Commercial Demonstration Project based in Prince George, British Columbia 12.4 MT/day of waste hydrogen will be captured, purified and transported to an onsite hydrogen refueling station from which Class 8 tractor-trailer truck fleets will refuel daily. Hydra’s demonstration project can provide a significant reduction in fleet greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions, Particulate Matter and […]

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data collected from over 2 million connected vehicles, there is a great opportunity to leverage big data and machine learning to establish an accident detection system. On top of driving data and environmental data, it also contains machine diagnostic data […]

The goal of this project is to develop and integrate the required technology to create food wrapping materials that can tell any untrained consumer if the food is safe to eat, without the need to use sophisticated equipment. This will be achieved by incorporating a barcode-type biosensor on an antifouling food wrap. The biosensor is […]

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. […]

Unmanned Arial Surveillance is rapidly gaining acceptance for various applications, such as monitoring of long power transmission lines, pipelines and mass transit systems that extend for hundreds of kilometers. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) such as drones provide the flexibility to reduce costs. In the case of natural disaster occurrence such as earthquake, flood or hurricane, […]

Le projet vise à concevoir un outil qui aidera les administrations portuaires à faire des choix stratégiques sur les pratiques d’affaires et nouvelles technologies à implanter pour devenir des ports intelligents. L’outil proposera des résultats personnalisés afin de prendre en compte les enjeux actuels et futurs propres à un port. La création de l’outil reposera […]

Microwave welding is proposed as a fabrication technique for joining thermoplastic polymer based composites. Microwave welding uses microwave energy and in the present study, a domestic microwave has been proposed to carry out the microwave welding of the thermoplastic components. Thermoplastic materials studied in this project will be considered after referring technical literature and in […]

To make best use of technology on available big data (e.g., airport parking reservation data), we design and develop an innovative big data science solution for constrained dynamic pricing for airport parking reservations in the proposed research project undertaken by the intern. From scientific point of view, such a solution is novel in the sense […]

Recycling complex products, typical to aeronautic industry, require a highly enhancement in Canadian engineering knowledge, The project will study the best ways to part-out, dismantle and recycle aircraft and helicopter at the end of their life with the objective of increasing their value by recovering, reusing or recycling subassemblies; parts and material. An experimental platfonn […]

The first master student internship (5. Berube, Bombardier) concerns the optimization of trimming parameters for two materials. The carbon-epoxy composites as well as the multi-layer material including aluminum and titanium in stacks under the carbon-epoxy laminate. At Bombardier, Sebastien will familiarizes with all the composite manufacturing process and the actual machining done at one or […]
