The Project contributes to the development of a field-ready and commercially useful long-range cargo unmanned aerial vehicle, including analyses of flight envelope and performance characteristics.

Since the adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed on January 1st 1994, the amount of truck freight moved between Canada, U.S. and Mexico has increased considerably. However, the transportation of goods has still have some gaps that need to be settled such as loss of merchandise and delay in delivery time. […]

The objective of this research proposal is to develop a framework to track and manage the fatigue of pilots involved with aerial firefighting. Interns of different backgrounds (neuroscience, engineering and statistics) will work together to achieve this goal. The neuroscience intern will collect physiological data to identify how a pilot’s physical and cognitive performance is […]

L’entreprise partenaire est un prestataire de services logistiques qui réalise des activités d’entreposage et des activités à valeur ajoutée pour ses clients comme la mise en conformité, l’étiquetage et le ré-étiquetage ou l’assemblage et l’emballage de certains produits finis. Ainsi, le partenaire doit réaliser et planifier des activités de production. L’entreprise croit qu’elle pourrait gagner […]

Cintra Canada Inc. has conducted several research studies on the advantages of implementing managed lanes (lanes where operational/management strategies are implemented in response to varying travel demand/supply conditions) with the focus on the travel speeds, road capacity, and air quality benefits. However, no study to date, has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the system-wide welfare […]

Fine particulate air pollution is recognized as causing health problems globally, but health researchers are just starting to understand where people receive their exposure, which will influence policies and regulations. There is a need for size-resolved particle measurements using a device that can be carried easily by a person. Nanozen has built such a device, […]

Hydra Energy Corporation Commercial Demonstration Project will be 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 (at least) 53 Class 8 tractor-trailer trucks will refuel daily. Hydra’s demonstration project can provide a significant reduction in fleet greenhouse gas(GHG) […]

Bombardier Aerospace intends to develop novel human-machine interfaces for their next generation business aircrafts sold to corporations or high-net worth individuals. Intensive research is expected to define, develop, integrate, and evaluate the performance of new interface concepts that will allow the passengers to most comfortably interact with the Cabin Management System (CMS), control their environment […]

Business aircraft seats are typically designed to provide maximum comfort to the occupant, while adhering to strict certification requirements. This tends to result in the designed seat becoming heavy and costly due to conservative tradeoff analysis, and a dependence upon legacy design techniques. With the advent of more powerful computer aided design techniques – it […]

Aircraft piston engines are widely used for aviation in North America and still use leaded fuel. 100 octane low-lead (100LL) aviation gasoline (avgas) is the common fuel used in aviation that contains lead in the form of Tetra-ethyl Lead (TEL). The TEL additive is mainly used to modulate the aviation gasoline octane levels to avoid […]

Development of a field-ready and commercially useful fuselage and cargo bay for a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle, including analysis of use of composite materials and resulting performance implications.

Today, the development of complex products such as aircraft systems is still mainly based on a paper-based requirements and development process which leads to delays, cost overrun and sometimes failure to respond to customer needs. A structured, model-based design approach is considered promising to bring innovation and optimization in systems architectures. The project aims to […]
