Bombardier Transport est un chef de file mondial dans l’industrie ferroviaire comprenant des unités de production partout dans le monde. La compagnie souhaite développer des technologies d’assemblage avancées adaptées à l’aluminium pour la fabrication ferroviaire. Celle-ci a identifié quatre procédés de soudage comme étant les technologies d’assemblage avancées les plus susceptibles de percer en production […]

In some parts of the world, airport runways are not constructed and maintained to the standards expected in North America and Western Europe. Aircraft designed for use on smooth runways may not be certifiable when they are operated on rougher runways because the predicted load cases associated with landing and take-off are very different from […]

Ultra-low frozen food temperatures between -30°C to -60°C are important when shipping high value seafood products to worldwide markets. Maintaining these temperatures using a traditional vapor compression refrigeration cycles becomes increasingly difficult as the span between desired cargo and external temperature increase. Solid CO2 has the capacity to sustain ultra-low frozen temperatures even during hot […]

Purolator is Canada’s leader in express package delivery services, with $1.6 billion revenues (2013), 12,000 employees, 125 shipping centres and 170 processing facilities nationwide. The company has to improve its operations on a continuous basis in order to satisfy its customers, while maintaining its efficiency in the face of ever-growing challenges such as fierce competition, […]

Bombardier Transport (BT) is one of world major companies in the transport industry. The application of aluminum in the structure of transport vehicles (cars, trains, ships, etc.) is continuously increasing mainly due to the benefits in weight saving. Therefore BT is also working extensively in implementing the use of aluminum alloys in its products. Welding […]

This project aims to help make neighbourhoods safer, healthier, and more economically vibrant by encouraging people of all ages to walk, cycle, and roll. Fewer children than ever before are walking and biking to school due to parents’ fears that local roads are unsafe. Unsafe roads and unwelcome pedestrian environments also negatively effect local businesses. […]

Maintenance of baggage handling equipment, passenger boarding bridges and aircraft support equipment currently costs the Pearson International Airport (PIA) $10M annually. Much of this cost is associated with routine inspections, replacing drives, lifts and similar industrial process equipment. Current maintenance undertaken by PIA is reactive; replacing or repairing parts on the equipment after break-down. This […]

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 […]

Chaque année, des millions de dollars sont dépensés pour le transport des biens de base à travers le pays. De plus, la facture ne cesse de grimper étant donné que le prix de l’essence en fait de même. D’autre part, l’industrie du transport est responsable d’une grande partie des émissions de gaz à effet de […]

The Project builds on existing research to advance the design of a novel, cargo carrying UAV for commercial and humanitarian purposes. The project will apply adaptable winglet, fuselage aerodynamics, and aircraft controller research to tailless, flex-wing ultralight aircraft with 2-axis control. Such an aircraft will have many advantages over conventional fixed wing aircraft, including mission […]

Pour favoriser l’utilisation des transports en commun de manière efficace et répondre aux besoins précis de chacun des utilisateurs, les autorités de transport tendent vers une intégration les différents modes de transports complémentaires (voitures, vélo, covoiturages…). Dans ce cadre, une des problématiques que Bombardier rencontre souvent est l’intégration des vélos dans la définition de l’intérieur […]

Deicing is a complex process involving many actors including pilots, air traffic controllers and the deicing crew. In this context, communication mistakes can easily happen but can also have terrible consequences. The goal of the research project is to identify high risk areas of communication for aircraft ground deicing. Analyze of the voice interaction between […]
