Sponsorship Attraction Strategy for ITRD

Integrated Travel Research and Development (ITRD) is seeking to enhance its research efforts in transportation, net-zero technologies, regional economic development, and the socio-economic benefits of frequent, affordable, and reliable passenger rail services to rural and indigenous communities. To achieve this, ITRD needs to attract corporate, private, and public sponsorship. The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive sponsorship attraction strategy that highlights the value and impact of ITRD's research initiatives. The project will involve analyzing potential sponsors, crafting compelling sponsorship proposals, and creating a marketing plan to engage and secure sponsorships. This will enable ITRD to continue its vital research and contribute to sustainable and equitable transportation solutions.

Alberta and Montana Transportation Data Framework Projects

The main goal for the project is to develop a framework to capture data from public sources such as cities, counties, provinces, and federal government transportation departments in Canada. The data will then be organized, analyzed, and provided as regular updates to transportation designers and engineers within the public and private sector. This will involve several different steps for the team, including: - Collaborating with transportation departments to understand data sources and formats. - Designing and implementing a data capture framework that can collect and organize data from multiple sources. - Developing an analysis platform to process and analyze the captured data. - Creating a user interface for transportation designers and engineers to access and utilize the analyzed data. - Establishing a regular update schedule for the data to ensure it remains current and relevant.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) - Creating a Comprehensive BIM Model for a Mid-Sized Transportation Hub in LA

The main goal of this project is to create a comprehensive Building Information Modelling (BIM) model for a passenger Transportation Hubs in Great Falls Montana and Lethbridge Alberta. The central stations will incorporate a link to the Airport, Regional Rail to Yellowstone & Calgary, etc. Preference is for the team to identify up to 3 suitable sites for the integrated Travel center. .This includes developing a detailed digital representation of the building's physical and functional characteristics, integrating various systems (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing), and ensuring the model is coordinated and clash-free.

Rio Grande Valley Passenger Rail Feasibility Study

The Rio Grande Valley Passenger Rail Feasibility Study aims to evaluate the potential for a new passenger rail service in the Rio Grande Valley region. The project will involve conducting a comprehensive needs assessment to identify the most beneficial and cost-effective routes for the rail service. Students will analyze population data to determine the best areas for ridership and assess the environmental impact of the proposed rail routes. Additionally, the project will require identifying suitable locomotives and estimating overall project costs. The goal is to provide a detailed feasibility study that will help Integrated.Travel Research and Development make informed decisions about the viability of the passenger rail project. This study will involve close collaboration with the project administration team to ensure that all goals and timelines are met.
