Title:
Building a multimodal transportation network database and exploring data collection methods to support transportation operations in the Canadian North
Agreement Number:
971731
Agreement Value:
$308,367.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2021 - Apr 30, 2024
Description:
There is currently no centralized database identifying the key facilities and characteristics of the multimodal transportation system in Northern Canada; thus, this Project will examine how winter roads are operated and used. Specifically, the Project will characterize and gather data for connecting facilities such as all-weather roads and marine locations, along with hubs such as aerodromes. The Project will also investigate technologies that can be used for automated data collection at remote transportation facilities that operate in harsh and remote environments, while identifying potential opportunities to fill critical data gaps. Finally, the Project will prepare information collected and/or created for secure transfer and integration into the NRC logistics data vault, which will complement other data in the vault towards providing a more comprehensive picture of Canadian freight networks.
