Planning, Budgeting and Efficiently Maintain Ageing Infrastructure and ITS Devices
Planning, budgeting and efficiently maintaining ageing infrastructure and ITS devices’ obsolescence is a universal challenge at all levels of Public Sector Transportation and/or Infrastructure departments. Ensuring the effective use of networks of deployed sensors, ingesting third-party data sources (weather, road conditions, OEM data, etc.), visibility of the network via the cameras installed across the roadway, disseminating the accurate information in real-time to travelers through media, social media, 511, message signs, and diverting traffic has direct effects on the safety of drivers and congestion on the network.
This presentation will take the audience on a journey from tools to assess the current state of roadside digital/ technology assets (e.g. ITS, etc.), prioritizing maintenance decisions, managing necessary repairs and maintenance, how that data flows through to the Traffic Management Centre, and finally how the cycle repeats for new investments to be assessed. It will show how a data rich platform can support short- and long-term planning and decisions.

Transporting Used Nuclear Fuel in Canada – a key element in NWMO’s successful siting process for Canada’s Deep Geological Repository
In 2024, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) took a historic step by selecting a site for a deep geological repository to house Canada’s used nuclear fuel. This decision to site a deep geological repository in northwestern Ontario with Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation (WLON) and the Township of Ignace as two host communities was based on over 15 years of work with industry, government and many communities involved in the siting process. This is a significant step forward for Canada, and with it come many questions.
1) Why does Canada need a deep geological repository?
2) How will the used nuclear fuel be transported?
3) Is it safe to transport used nuclear fuel?
This presentation will provide a brief history of the NWMO’s siting decision, answer commonly asked questions and describe how engagement on transportation played a significant role in identifying a site for Canada’s deep geological repository.
About the presenters:
Caitlin Burley, Director of Transportation for the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, Canada, is responsible for developing and implementing NWMO’s transportation engagement program. This program ensures that people have access to fact-based information about the transportation of used nuclear fuel and that the NWMO’s technical programs are reflective of public priorities and questions. Caitlin has a Masters of Applied Science in Environmental Management, and accreditation from the International Association for Public Participation on consultation and dialogue.
Ulf Stahmer is a Senior Transportation Engineer for the NWMO. As a mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, Ulf spent the first decade of his career in the railroad industry designing brakes for trains. For the past 25 years, Ulf has held senior engineering positions in radioactive waste transport for both Ontario Power Generation and the Nuclear Waste Management Organization. Two years ago, Ulf moved to become part of the NWMO’s public engagement team to provide technical expertise. He has a broad understanding of both the repository project, and road and rail transport, and is passionate about sharing his knowledge.
