The Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium

About CUTRIC

WHO WE ARE

Bringing Change to the Zero Emissions Transit Industry CUTRIC is a national consortium of innovation leaders. Our members lead the design, development and launch of low-carbon smart mobility projects across Canada. CUTRIC offers a suite of business and networking opportunities, technical planning events, conferences, discounts, government advocacy and thought leadership.

BENEFITS

  • Innovative commercialization projects that focus on “integration trials” over the long-term, rather than one-off pilots.
  • Simulation/modeling of battery electric buses (BEBs), fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) and electric low-speed autonomous shuttles, as well as greenhouse gas relative measure analysis.
  • Learning and training opportunities for all CUTRIC members.
  • Networking opportunities (workshops, technical seminars, conferences, webinars).
  • Government outreach and lobbying efforts on behalf of low-carbon smart mobility that is technically informed and evidence-based.

MEMBERSHIP

  • Membership is valid from January 1 – December 31 of each calendar year.
  • Membership Categories: Transit System, Industry, Consultancy & Construction, Utility, Government, Academic Institution, Not-For-Profit and Transit Operator.

CUTRIC's Pillars of Innovation

By joining CUTRIC, your organization becomes part of a network representing the collective interests of the zero-emission and autonomous vehicle industry.

1. Zero- and low-emissions propulsion technologies and systems integration,

including battery electric and hybrid electric propulsion technologies, hydrogen fuel cell electric propulsion technologies, as well as grid-based smart management tools that balance electric fleet charging and/or hydrogen refuelling.

2. Smart vehicles and smart infrastructure technologies for automated and connected vehicles on road and on rail,

including battery electric and hybrid electric propulsion technologies, hydrogen fuel cell electric propulsion technologies, as well as grid-based smart management tools that balance electric fleet charging and/or hydrogen refuelling.

3. Big Data for mobility analytics and Mobility as a Service applications,

including initiatives to optimize public and private fleets through the use of descriptive, analytic, and predictive data assessment, and the integration of artificially intelligent decision-making systems that guide fleet managers in real-time.

4. Cybersecurity in advanced mobility applications,

securitization of low-carbon smart mobility systems, including secure communications for autonomous and connected vehicles given the susceptibility of new vehicle systems to malicious attack.
