There is growing pressure from intergovernmental organizations, governments and consumers to reduce the quantity of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. Investments in green technology such as renewable energy sources, battery technology and carbon capture and sequestration can often yield significant reductions in carbon emissions. However, the corresponding economic costs of these projects can […]

La modernisation du système DCS MOD300 ABB au sein de la Direction d’épuration des eaux usées à la station Jean-R. Marcotte de la Ville de Montréal vise à améliorer l’efficacité opérationnelle et la fiabilité des processus industriels. Les objectifs incluent le développement d’un nouveau standard de programmation des contrôleurs DCS AC800M ABB pour optimiser les […]

Overhead lines (OHL) and other components of the electricity transmission network are designated as critical infrastructures. In order to provide the level of performance required of such facilities, efficient asset management practices must be tailored to the specific characteristics of these assets. The proposed research aims to develop such a process for OHL equipped with […]

The proposed research project focuses on studying the urban heat island effect, which is a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures in urban areas than their surroundings. This effect can impact public health, energy usage, and urban planning. The research will use advanced analysis techniques to understand how different factors like building characteristics and […]

The meaningful issues that are deeply-rooted in the Downtown East Toronto include poverty, homelessness, housing, community safety, mental health, substance use and the drug poisoning crisis. Challenges accessing formal systems for support and resources results from experiences with overlapping systems of exclusion and intersecting points of oppressions like stigma, racism or gender. The main question […]

This project focuses on identifying and developing methods of estimating the Green house Gas (GHG)- emissions related benefits of bicycle infrastructure (such as, painted bike lanes, protected bike lanes, multi-use trails). GHG-emissions estimation methods that consider both the “benefits” and “costs” related to active transportation infrastructure is extremely rare, and as a result, there is […]

La recherche s’intéresse aux différentes situations que vivent les nouveaux cadres des organisations policières du Québec et aux différents enjeux psychologiques que la transition policier-cadre engendre. Le domaine policier québécois possède la particularité qu’une très grande partie de ses cadres proviennent des rangs de l’organisation dans laquelle ils ont débuté leur carrière. Cette progression interne […]

The City of Toronto operates one of the largest and most diverse fleets in North America. Despite City’s commitment to road safety, incidents involving municipal fleet vehicles remain a challenge. This project ultimately aims to reduce incidents and improve fleet safety among light-duty vehicle fleet drivers within the City’s Transportation Services Division by targeting risky […]

Corrosion of electrical utility infrastructure represents a major operational challenge that currently relies on labor-intensive manual inspections. This project aims to develop an automated machine learning system to detect and assess corrosion using publicly available street-level imagery, enabling frequent, low-cost monitoring across the distribution network. The proposed methodology will leverage recent advances in object detection […]

This project is an undertaking in coordination with Minerva Canada, some of its industry partners and seven Canadian universities which aims to address a gap between industry and the graduates of engineering programs in terms of attitudes, knowledge and applied skills pertaining to health & safety in engineering practice. Upon completion, the project’s end product […]
