On the one hand, new generation of civil transport aircraft can present aeroelastic coupling between flight mechanics and structural dynamics. The lower-frequency flexible dynamics can be perceptible by a fly-by-wire (FBW) controller. This requires control law design that takes into account the flexible dynamics. On the other hand, recent developments on feedback linearization by means […]

Digital avionics systems of today are designed for the most part with embedded computers. These computers run safety-critical real-time applications such as flight management systems (FMS) and flight control systems (FCS). Even if avionics use conservative technologies, economic concerns are constantly pushing for changes. Space, weight, power and cooling (SWaP-C) considerations are gaining importance in […]

The use of natural gas as a fuel for on-road commercial vehicles offers significant benefits, including lower greenhouse gas emissions. Methane, the main component of natural gas, has many virtues as a fuel. One of these benefits is that it is a very stable molecule. This stability does introduce a challenge: it is hard to […]

Les pieces souples (ou flexibles) sont une categorie de pieces frequemment rencontrees dans I’industrie, comme les panneaux de revetement de carrosserie, les composantes a parois minces, etc. On estime qu’environ 37% des composantes dans une automobile sont des pieces sou pies. Le probleme de I’inspection dimensionnelie de ces pieces est que la geometrie a I’etat […]

Le projet vise a ameliorer la connaissance des proprh§tes electriques et thermiques des materiaux composites dans Ie contexte de leur utilisation dans Ie milieu aeronautique. Pour ce faire, il est envisage de soumet!re des echantillons de ces materiaux a des courants electriques, pour en evaluer la distribution dans lesdits echantillons. L’echauffement cause par ces courants […]

Existing methods and techniques for process mapping will be considered to develop a process framework which will be adapted to perform analysis and provide improvements to the process. Analysis techniques will be applied to detect redundant, duplicated or misaligned process activities. Results will provide means to assess and evaluate the discrepancies between the actual and […]

Le stage consiste a modeliser, a I’aide d’un simulateur, I’entrepot d’Air Canada Cargo afin d’optimiser les processus de chaine logistique. Nous voulons voir, entre autres, comment integrer les nouvelles regles legislatives liees a des mesures de secUr’lte dans les procedures, I’impact de nouveaux horaires de travail ou des nouvelles technologies Ie lies que les etiquettes […]

The aircraft flight deck has increased substantively in its complexity in recent years. The input systems are more complex, and the information feeds are much more detailed. In order for a pilot to interface effectively with the aircraft systems, the cockpit control functions must be laid out in an intuitive format. To do this, a […]

L’Administration portuaire de Montréal (APM) travaille activement à déployer des initiatives innovantes, afin de se positionner comme un « port intelligent » et d’améliorer sa performance, au bénéfice de ses partenaires d’affaires. Aujourd’hui, l’APM a déjà lancé plusieurs initiatives d’amélioration avec ses parties prenantes, dont le PORTail du camionnage Le projet actuel vise à bonifier […]

With the ever-increasing growth of the consumer Electric Vehicle (EV) market and environmental awareness of federal and provincial governments, electrification of public transit systems has come under the spotlight in recent years. Currently, there is limited practical knowledge on how to efficiently deploy EV buses across different Canadian regions, which results in a wide gap […]

This project will examine the relationship between transit vehicle crowding and the time it takes for passengers to board and exit the vehicle (dwell time). It will also record the total maximum number of passengers on a transit vehicle and compare them to the manufacturers’ theoretical maximum capacity. Data will be gathered through accurate counts […]
