Les technologies liées aux systèmes d’aide aux prises des décisions dans des navires intelligents ont atteint un niveau de maturité élevé dans les dernières années. Pendant ce temps, les navires autonomes et sans pilote ont aussi été largement étudiés en parallèle aux véhicules autonomes, comme les chargeuses autonomes dans les mines. Bien que la technologie […]

Les fourgonnettes de livraison commerciales doivent éteindre et redémarrer leur moteur à combustion interne plusieurs fois par jour (plus de 100 fois). Ces démarrages fréquents sollicitent intensivement l’ensemble du circuit de puissance électrique 12 Vcc. En conséquence, l’accumulateur plomb-acide, l’alternateur ou le démarreur sont remplacés à chaque année de façon préventive afin d’éviter des pannes […]

This project aims to develop a fuel cell-powered refrigerated trailer that can operate in different climatic conditions to provide cleaner transportation. Hydrogen will be the only source for refrigerated trailer operations. The present project has three objectives: to develop a thermal management system for extreme winter and summer conditions for operating the fuel cell under […]

Generative design to support complete community quantitative and qualitative analysis brings together growing computational practices in generative design with the urban design challenge of planning and building transit oriented complete communities using urban data analysis. This grant explores the importance of qualitative factors such as social cohesion in complete community design and the opportunity to […]

Canada, Mexico, and United States are members of a free trade agreement (USMCA), which seek to build stronger local supply chains and stimulate financing in strategic industries, such as lithium batteries, semiconductor chips, and green energy sources. Because, due to the pandemic situation and the reduction of chips production, companies, and government from USMCA are […]

En 2015, la NASA, Boeing et Pratt & Whitney ont entrepris des études expérimentales et numériques pour calculer les performances d’un fuselage intégré hybride (HWB), désigné N2A-EXTE 0009H1, pour tous les régimes de vol, dont celles en transsonique. Le but de ces études était de vérifier un concept d’intégration moteur avec cette cellule d’avion non-conventionnelle. […]

This research proposes a new recovery model for addressing issues with container ship disruptions. To minimize the negative impact of these disruptions, the model formulates a mixed-integer programming approach that simultaneously considers three recovery strategies, namely vessel speeding-up, port skipping, and alternative routes. The study clusters call-ports and utilizes port hubs to minimize transshipment costs […]

La croissance de l’urbanisation ces dernières décennies et les besoins de déplacement de personnes et de biens de consommation qui l’accompagnent, entrainent une forte croissance du volume de transport routier de passagers et de marchandises. La croissance du volume de transport de marchandises est en plus boostée par l’essor du commerce électronique qui entraine des […]

Nowadays, the topic of environmental sustainability and eco-friendly materials is present in every area of daily life. This research project, in the field of civil engineering, deals with the study of particular materials used for the construction of road pavements that have as their strong point the fact that they are recycled from existing pavements […]

Given the high mobility and flexible deployment of UAVs, this technology has evolved as a key enabler of several applications such as aerial cargo delivery and precision agriculture. However, with the advancement of its payload, including storage and computing capabilities, UAVs can handle critical services such as road traffic monitoring, accident prediction, and vehicular traffic/task […]

The primary role of the lubrication system of aero-engines is to remove the excess heat generated by the movement of the bearings, gears and shafts. An aircraft engine has bearing chambers to contain the oil used for lubrication and excess heat removal. Inefficient scavenging of the oil out of the bearing chamber can result in […]

Under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), businesses using customer data to make decisions must provide explanations in human terms on demand to the customer to explain their decision. The rise of natural language generation (NLG) and chain-of-thoughts (CoT) represents an opportunity to combine the power of deep learning, automated decision-making, and explainable AI. […]
