Network security challenges due to nearly limitless internet connectivity, platform limitations, ubiquitous nodal mobility and huge data transactions is burgeoning by the day and the need for transcend Internet of Things (IoT) based cloud security authentication protocols is on an exponential rise. Even though many secure classic layered security mechanisms are available for implementation, they…

Modern automobiles have been turning more and more into wireless sensor and communication networks. Accordingly, the number of radio systems is steadily increasing. Due to strict safety requirements, these radio systems need to be tested extensively for functionality and reliability, especially under poor radio channel conditions. Beside the large electrical size of cars at frequencies…

Trusted systems are becoming more integrated into everyday life. Security and reliability are at the forefront of trusted system design and are often directed at hardware-only solutions, especially for safety critical systems. This is because hardware has a well-established process for achieving strong, precise, and reliable systems. These attributes have been achieved in the area…

The presence of atmospheric hazards in confined space can contribute towards atmospheric hazards accidents that threaten the worker safety and industry progress. To avoid this, the environment needs to be observed. The air sample can be monitored using the integration of electronic nose (e-nose) and mobile robot. Current technology to monitor the atmospheric hazards is…

Just as electricity has an essential role in our lives, the internet network and especially web services have become of vital importance nowadays. Without security service layers, apparently small things like checking a child’s school schedule on web may turn the daily routine into a nightmare. Web services users are still required to use many…

Distraction, drowsiness, and fatigue are the main factors of car accidents recently. To solve such problems, an Eye-tracking system based on camera is proposed in this paper. The system detects the driver’s Distraction or sleepiness and gives an alert to the driver as an assistance system. The camera best position is chosen to be on…

In the world today, the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the application of the Connected Vehicle Cloud (CVC) as the Internet of Things in the intelligent transportation are becoming widespread. They can improve people’s safety, vehicle security as well as reduce the cost of ownership of an automobile. At the same…

Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack), a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the major killers worldwide. Around one thousand data has been collected from AMI patients, people are at risk of maybe a heart attack and individuals with the significant features closely related to heart attack. The sophistication in mobile technology, health care applications…

This article discusses IoT security in situations whereby devices do not share the same security domains, which raises security, privacy and safety concerns. It then presents an Access Control and Privacy infrastructure for addressing these concerns in the context of distributed environments. IoT deployments allow billions of connected physical devices to collect, process and share…

Transport planners and engineers frequently face the challenge to determine the best design for a specific junction. Many road design manuals provide guidelines for the design and evaluation of different junction alternatives, however these mostly refer to specialized software in which the performances of design alternatives can be modelled. In the first stage of the…

Nowadays, many companies and organizations use various encryption techniques to secure their private data before send it through the unsecure network. However, many attackers try to store private data by using various attacks. Most of the organizations use password based encryption algorithm (PBE) to protect their private data. However, the existing PBE methods are vulnerable…

Ship pilotage risk decision-making problems, which is an important issue affecting the safety of navigation. Before the study on the risk decision of ship pilotage, all use direct analysis of fault tree methods. In this paper, through the process analysis of ship pilotage fault tree, the model of fault tree is standardized and simplified. The…

The number of smart devices inside the living environments grows more and more every day, and with it the need to interface them in order to share data and activate functions. Each day, new scenarios and new applications emerge to make our lives easier in many different contexts. The AAL SOCIALIZE project aims to create…

Moderate exercise has been implemented in spaceflight programs to prevent muscle and joint damage under extreme circumstances such as microgravity. Although the physical effects of exercise have been investigated experimentally, advanced modeling and simulation techniques are powerful tools that could provide insight into the physical limitations, optimal conditions, and mechanisms that might lead to muscle…

Safety-critical systems are well documented and standardized (e.g. IEC 61508, RTCA DO-178B) within system design cycles. However in Defence and Security, systems that are critical to the success of a Mission are not defined within the literature nor are there any guidelines in defining criticality in their design or operational capabilities. When it comes to…

This paper is devoted to the analysis of aircraft dynamics in the cruise flight phase under windshear conditions. The study is conducted with reference to a point-mass aircraft model restricted to move in a vertical plane. We formulate the problem as a differential game against the wind disturbances: The first player, autopilot, manages, via additional…

This paper is the extended reflection of work originally presented in conference of Electrical, Computer and Communication Engineering (ECCE)-CUET 2017, entitled “Automated Anti Collision System for Automobiles”. Automated collision avoidance system is a trending technology of science in automobile engineering. The aim of this paper is to design a system which will prevent collision from…

In today’s information based world, it is increasingly important to safeguard the data owned by any organization, be it intellectual property or personal information. With ever increasing sophistication of malware, it is imperative to come up with an automated and advanced methods of attack vector recognition and isolation. Existing methods are not dynamic enough to…

The aim of this paper is to develop a hybrid device for voltage stability enhancement using two kinds of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) namely SVC (Static Var Compensator) and TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor). The idea behind the proposed method is to maintain safe and satisfactory power system operation in a lesser costing manner…

The paper shows a method of transforming an asynchronously feedbacked Mealy machine into a Moore machine. The transformation is done in dual-rail logic under the use of the RS-buffer. The transformed machine stabilizes itself and is safe to use. The transformation is visualized via KV-diagrams and calculated with formulas. We will present three use-cases for…
