As the climate change problem has been a serious global issue, we have been making effort replace internal combustion engine to electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emission. As demand for EVs increases, it is necessary to research an infrastructure; such as an efficient and intelligent EV charging system, to support various charging services. Wireless […]

Due to a lack of legitimate case studies exploring the same-day delivery, this internship will help by adding significantly to the body of applied research in this new trend. Courier industry can revamp the practices of “brick and mortar” retailers by convincing them to cover the cost for their customers in return for value-added service. […]

The Road Pavements are subjected to distress due to heavy traffic load and environmental factor and is a common cause of accidents resulting in loss of valuable life and economic losses. Regular monitoring and timely maintenance is the key to ensuring a healthy roadway infrastructure. Traditional methods of manual monitoring are time consuming, expensive and […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif principal d’évaluer le confort des passagers dans la cabine d’un train léger lorsque soumis à des accélérations verticales résultant de l’interaction dynamique du système Train-Rail-Pont. Afin d’obtenir des résultats réalistes, une analyse dynamique détaillée par éléments finis s’avère nécessaire. La méthodologie proposée dans ce projet consiste à évaluer […]

The northern resident killer whale (NRKW) population off British Columbia’s coast is considered ‘threatened’ within Canada. Recent studies have shown that NRKWs face many threats, with a key stressor being the negative interaction with commercial and recreational vessel traffic. The Robson Bight Michael Bigg Ecological Reserve is a marine protected area in Johnstone Strait, east […]

Applying Generative Design to Complete Community Planning brings together growing computational practices in generative design with the urban design challenge of planning and building complete communities using urban data analysis. The concept of complete communities is in part inspired by new urbanism which focuses on human and environmental needs. Transportation modes within a community and […]

Health and safety are key concerns during the current public health crisis to individuals who rely on public transit. To lessen the risk of those individuals, the research aims to develop an information-based control strategy using real-time travel information as a meaningful non-pharmaceutical intervention strategy in the public transportation sector. To achieve this goal, the […]

Aircraft flight simulators are important to airworthiness standards and thus safety. The simulators are used in pilot training, as well assisting in the design of flight vehicles. Flight simulators need physical models that reproduce, in the computer, the real devices such as engines, pilot human response, cockpit, etc. In particular, it also needs an aerodynamic […]

This project will undertake research on priorities and concerns that arise within Indigenous and Coastal Communities across Canada. Shipping provides benefits to many remove communities in delivering critical supplies, but the increase in shipping due to growth in activities such as tourism, mining and other industries presents a risk to the environment, livelihoods and food […]

Les estuafres sonfdes ecosystemes complexes et fragiles qu se trouvent a l’lnterface ocean/rivlere: Ils representent donc des zones strategiques pour le commerce maritime et un abris ideal pour les navires. Dans ce contexte, le transport sedimentaire se revele etre un enjeu majeur car les sediments sont a la fois vecteur de pollution et ils peuvent […]

Burning fuels such as gasoline and diesel in our vehicles causes green house gas emissions and it is a major cause of global warming. If electric vehicles replace gasoline powered vehicles, the emission will be much lower. The peak power demand of an electric vehicle during acceleration is the key factor for its battery size. […]

The main purpose of this project is to develop the methodology to detect and predict driver drowsiness at the early stages using physical and physiological variables. A feasibility test is conducted to evaluate the accuracy and performance of the proposed methodology. The existing databases are leveraged to extract the required data. Signal processing, image processing, […]
