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.

Multi-Sensor Fusion of Electronic Scanning Radars, GNSS and Onboard Sensors for Autonomous Driving
980433
This project will develop a multi-sensor fusion software for seamless positioning at decimeter level of accuracy with high integrity for autonomous vehicles (AVs) integrating data from onboard motion sensors, GNSS receiver and Electronic Scanning Radars (ESR). The new software will enable robust positioning and mapping for AVs and will sustain the decimeter level of positioning performance seamlessly everywhere in all operating conditions for autonomy levels three and higher.

Instantaneous Inertial and Precise Point Positioning Software System for Mobile Devices
929158
The proposed project is to develop an instant precise positioning software for mobile devices applications, which focuses on the development and implementation of new methods and algorithms to process carrier phase measurements from next generation mobile devices to enable: (1) multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS positioning performance at decimeter to sub-meter accuracy; (2) integrated GNSS and multi-sensor fusion for continuous precise positioning in challenging environments; (3) software library to run on mobile devices.
The software system development is a response to strong industry demand as PPI has been approached by major smartphone makers to help develop precise location capability for their mobile devices.

Self-Driving/Assisted Driving Positioning System Software
905269
The proposed project is to develop a positioning system software for self-driving/assisted driving vehicular applications. The new software will permit: (1) high-precision stand-alone global navigation satellite system (GNSS) operation insensitive to wireless communication disconnection with correction to signal outages; (2) high-precision stand-alone inertial navigation system (INS) operation without GNSS aiding; (3) Continuously available and robust multi-sensor navigation solutions in challenging environments.
