Smart Roadways allows agencies to safely and cost-effectively reach the largest network of commercial truck drivers through digital in-cab alerting that is proven to improve driver behavior and reduce collisions. The project will increase Drivewyze system capacity and agility to support immense volumes of data from a growing volume of trucks on our network, and seamless deployment of new applications that meet Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) market needs for improved safety and efficiency. Drivewyze can then deliver products without service interruptions or the sacrifice of quality. The project will build an enhanced Connected Truck platform of flexible and data-focussed architecture and will help form a robust Connected Truck Network.

As part of the international consortium project “Eurostars 2634 PSRP”, Lead: CAN: Cerebra Medical, Ltd; CHE: IDUN Technologies AG, SME; NLD: Pilotfish Nederland BV, SME; this project will focus on using Cerebra’s patented Odds Ratio Product sleep depth algorithm, IDUN’s Guardian Sleep - a nighttime wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) biometric device, and an AI-powered companion application to improve the health and wellbeing of users through better sleep. The proprietary recommendation engine will provide adaptive feedback to improve sleep as well as alerts when optimal sleep has not been achieved. The companion application is designed to encourage user engagement through gamification linking sleep to daytime performance as well as the setting and management of long-term goals, all key to long-term positive behavioral change.

This project aims to develop a simulation-based design flow for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), antennas and printed electronics. The achieved simulation-based design flow will be marketed and sold to semiconductor and wireless communication service providers to enable them to bring RIS-based hardware to market for improved wireless network performance.

This project aims at developing efficient and easy-to-use models for seasonal forecasting of spring runoff for various watersheds in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The season-ahead forecasts are critical for planning reservoir operations, agricultural water management, flood risk assessments, and prediction of nutrient loadings into large water bodies, such as Saskatchewan River Delta, Lake Winnipeg, and Hudson Bay. An attractive feature of this work is that it will connect mountain headwaters to the Ocean, through Hudson Bay, and will utilize the great potential and prediction skills of rapidly emerging machine learning (ML) techniques. Additionally, correlation and causation analyses will be implemented and their respective outputs will help improve our current understanding of runoff generation mechanisms and controlling factors in prairie landscapes. The expected output of the project will be a set of ML models for seasonal runoff forecasting, along with quantitative estimates of the forecast uncertainty, often neglected in traditional modeling approaches.

This project scope is focused on optimization of ZenGUARD™ coating at commercial scale

Proto will add two brand-new modules (available via API) that
make local language chatbots perform via speech / voice
channels.

This project is part of the international consortium project “Xecs project 2022005 TASTI led by Philips (Netherlands)".
The main goal of TASTI is to develop a modular framework of transferable technology to innovate synthetic image generation and tailor it towards applications. The proposed framework is multidisciplinary and will feature a holistic view on (1) solutions for optical sensor systems and training simulators, (2) cloud/edge infrastructure considering processing hardware and acceleration techniques, and (3) software components and algorithms, including AI.

The project is part of a global digital transformation approach. It aims to digitalize all of the firm's processes by gradually developing a digital twin.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are:
• To provide recognition and funding to academic researchers;
• To provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.
