Coastal Aviation Visibility System

在NSERC的支持下，Camosun Innovates正在与MarineLabs DataSystems Inc.和Harbour Air建立为期两年的合作伙伴关系。Camosun Innovates是应用研究、制造、社会创新和体育创新的焦点，丰富了Camosun学生的跨学科教育。通过提供一套复杂的智力、技术和制造资产，它们推动创新，创造有效的商业解决方案，并引领有益的社会进步。MarineLabs是一家世界级的技术公司，总部设在不列颠哥伦比亚省，通过其紧凑型、云连接的海岸童子军舰队提供实时领域感知。他们目前在北美东海岸和西海岸外运营海岸侦察机，并可以将加拿大11,000个漂浮导航设备中的任何一个转换为实时海洋数据中心。港航是漂浮飞机业务的全球领导者，拥有40多架飞机，运营30,000架次航班，每年运送超过50万名乘客，其中11个预定目的地位于不列颠哥伦比亚省。海港航空使用所有可能的海洋和航空天气信息来安全和高效地运送乘客。然而，缺乏可用于支持行动的数据。该项目的目标是开发和演示建立在MarineLabs CoastScout平台上的实时雾和能见度系统，以提高沿海航空的安全。如果成功，VIS数据将与计划在太平洋、大西洋和更广泛市场的CoastScout部署一起推出，作为MarineLabs商业产品的一部分。该项目将推动MarineLabs向前发展，同时刺激其劳动力的扩张，为Camosun学院的学生提供稳定的清洁技术工作。

With support from NSERC, Camosun Innovates is entering into a 2-year partnership with MarineLabs DataSystems Inc. and Harbour Air. Camosun Innovates is a focal point for applied research, manufacturing, social innovation and sport innovation that enriches the interdisciplinary education of Camosun students. Byproviding access to a sophisticated suite of intellectual, technology and manufacturing assets, they driveinnovation, create effective business solutions and spearhead beneficial social advancements. MarineLabs is a world class technology company, based in BC, who provides real-time domain awareness from fleets of their compact, cloud connected, CoastScouts. They currently operate CoastScouts off North America's East andWest coasts and can convert any of Canada's 11,000 floating navigational aids into real-time ocean data hubs. Harbour Air is a global leader in float plane operations with more than 40 aircraft, operating 30,000 flightsdelivering over 500,000 passengers per year, with 11 scheduled destinations in BC. Harbour Air use allpossible marine and aviation weather information to transport passengers safely and efficiently. However, thereis a lack of available data to support operations. The project goal is to develop and demonstrate a real-time fog and visibility system, built on the MarineLabs CoastScout platform, that improves safety in coastal aviation. If successful, the VIS data will be rolled out along with planned CoastScout deployments in the Pacific, Atlantic, and wider markets as part of the MarineLabs commercial offering. The project will propel MarineLabs forwardwhile stimulating the expansion of their workforce, providing stable clean-tech jobs for Camosun Collegestudents.
