Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Development of an AI based driver intentionality and action predictor tool to improve safety in urban last mile delivery operation
972493
This research Project aims to build an AI-based driver intentionality predictor that will augment and enhance typical advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to improve safety for last mile delivery operation. Since driver gaze directly correlates with driver intentionality and precedes driving action, this project will utilize a driver gaze monitoring system to develop an AI-based tool to predict driver intentionality and action. This will significantly improve the safety associated with last mile delivery in urban environments by broadening the time horizon of ADAS systems. This Project intends to employ real-time driver gaze data to predict driver intentionality and action in order to quantify driver alertness and evaluate the safety of the operation in real-time. This data will be used to evaluate and compare different machine learning methods to develop models of driver attentiveness and alertness by predicting and assessing driver maneuvers. In the long term, having models that predict driver intentionality and actions can provide additional information to an ADAS that can be used to alert the driver or take action to ensure the safety of the vehicle and driver or avoid likely accident scenarios.
