ShipHaul Logistics aims at developing an Intelligent Freight Services platform towards the digitization, integration and optimization of freight management. The proposed project is the first step to provide the foundations and infrastructure and kickstart the development of the envisioned platform. To this end, we will emphasize evaluation, testing and comparative studies concerning the efficiency and […]

Les interventions des plongeurs-scaphandriers aux abords des barrages hydro-électriques nécessitent la plus grande vigilance afin d’assurer leur sécurité. Au-delà des difficultés ordinaires rencontrées en plongée, les interventions aux abords de ces structures présentent de réels risques de courants puissants et très localisés dus au phénomène de Delta P (différence de pression). Celui-ci est capable d’emporter […]

La récolte d’énergie (“energy harvesting” ou “energy scavenging”) a connu une croissance importante au cours des dernières années. C’est le processus de récupération de l’énergie (voir Figure 1) des sources externes (solaire, thermique, éolienne, acoustique, mécanique/cinétique, etc.) et de conversion en électricité utile à petite échelle. Dans l’industrie aéronautique en particulier, la conversion d’énergie vibratoire […]

Currently Bombardier Aerospace uses the Doublet Lattice Method (DLM), incorporated into a structural solver, to perform aeroelastic calculations such as flutter. This method is able to provide very good results in the subsonic regime, but looses accuracy in the transonic regime due to the high non linearity of the flow. A methodology was developed where […]

PigeonBox is e-commerce delivery solutions company, offering online shoppers a convenient pickup locations. PidgeonBox is currently located in 3 Skytrain stations across the lower mainland and at the beautiful UBC campus. PigeonBox has also added a PigeonBox Delivery service, where we are helping local retailers fulfil their local deliveries. PigeonBox is looking for a Marketing […]

Blaise Transit seeks to grant public transit agencies the ability to replan their bus lines in real-time based on requests made by riders using the Blaise app. The main objective of this project is to design and implement algorithms ensuring this business goal can be achieved, namely by continuously improving Blaise’s current routing algorithm.

Combustion continues to be the major source of power for electricity, transportation, and material processing. Modem day combustion devices such as automobile engines rely on computer simulations for analysis and optimization of geometry or operating conditions. Combustion problems that are solved to perform such simulations are described by complex multi-scale non-linear mathematical equations that entail […]

The goal of the project is to research and develop computer vision algorithms, software, and specialized hardware for the analysis of mixed traffic at intersections. Road users will be detected and classified as motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. Road users will be geo-located within a 3D model of the intersection, tracked and classified according to […]

In recent years, the North American population has become increasingly dependent on food and consumer product delivery. As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic there have been surges in delivery demand. There are several active driving-based delivery methods, such as Uber Eats, however drivers are required to navigate through traffic, park, turn off their […]

Because of the usefulness of non-destructive testing in the assessment of different types of materials, they have attracted widespread interest in the last years. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a descriptive term used for the examination of materials and components in such a way that allows materials to be examined without changing or destroying their function. […]

This project aims at creating a model for forecasting ice formation in the St. Lawrence Seaway between the Welland Canal and Quebec City. This will improve drastically the planning of all maritime operations during the winter transition period, before the freeze-up.
