A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Talk about who I work for
Ground Rules:
-Acronyms-I may throw some of these out and if I do, do not hesitate to call me on it, if you want to know what it is.
-Questions-I encourage them but I do not by any means have all the answers especially about everything DOD but I will do my best to make an answer up for you.
DOD owns or manages over 27 million acres of property over 4,700 sites. These range from small one building sites to large hundreds of thousands of acre ranges. We employ millions of personnel through active duty, civilians and contractors. Our bases see millions of daily visisitors through retirees, vendors deliveries, air shows, museums, etc. It is debatable whether our installations and our roadways are open to public travel but we handle a lot of the driving public.
This is an overview of Scott AFB where I work. Sizewise it is relatively small at 3700 acres compared to White Sands Missile Range at over 1 million acres or Fort Bliss with 340K acres.
A military base for the most part is like a self contained city. We have a Target or Base Exchange, a grocery store or Commissary, gas station, housing areas, hospitals, etc. The only thing you won’t find here on base, is a school. It is actually just off the base and generates a large amount of pedestrian traffic. Other larger bases actually have schools on base.
What make us unique is we have limited points of access (Entry Control Facilities or Access Control Points) to our facilities and you have to have a valid reason and approval to enter the base.
Scott AFB has a reported population of about 15k personnel which includes civilian and military but doesn’t include contractors or dependents or retirees or deliveries or construction workers or visitors. We also see retirees, deliveries, visitors, etc. This population and daily visitors can generate up to 15K trip into the base on a peak day. In our peak AM hour, Gates 1, 2, and 3 will process about 3300. I will talk more about ECF
Within this base, you will find the same traffic features, you do outside a base, traffic signals, stop signs (to include improperly placed ones), traffic calming measures, school zones, crosswalks, etc. What are some differences? AT ECF we have antivehicle barriers. AT Army and USMC bases, you will find entire roadways closed for morning physical training. Some facilities you will have to contend with troops marching, tanks traveling down the roadway, and convoys of military vehicles.
Now this was just an appetizer to show you that we most likely face many of the same issues on our base that occur outside the base. Sometimes it is worse. One of our biggest issues on the bases, we rarely hire traffic engineers, mpst times we hire contractors but base still has to have an idea of what they want and what they are seeing proposed. Our bases employ engineers, but they are usually civil engineers more focused on design and construction or project management. There are some exceptions as a few bases do have people with traffic backgrounds. Overall the engineers roadway experience will most likely be limited to pavement design and construction or bridge design and construction. So what do they do, they come to us or the hire a consulting firm.
The other big one is an entry control facility. I will speak more on that later.
-DOD Supplement to MUTCD
-Signs for “10 mph when passing troops” or “No Tactical Vehicle”
-Extremely vulnerable to Installation Commander discretion
-Lumped with all other construction and maintenance projects.
-Subject to annual budgeting process through Congress
I really tried to figure out where to start my discussion on this chart. The bottom is the best place to start as it is cleaner for the first few steps.
Who is Traffic Engineering? 1984-30 in-house personnel. Currently myself, three engineers and one engineering technician.
Who is the Special Assistant for Transportation Engineering? The division I work for has the primary task of ensuring transportation systems, internal and external, can handle and accommodate military transportation needs. Can we deploy? Can we get our personnel on and off bases? Can commercial seaports handle our cargo demands both in peacetime and wartime?
The SA Division works for TEA. TEA has essentially been around since the late 40s or early 50s. We are about 100 personnel with some contractor support. The bulk of our workforce is either engineers or ORSA-operations research/systems analysts. Over half of the engineers work in traditional civil engineering roles. That isn’t to say they are all CE but their work history in military assignments prepared them to work in these fields. The other half of our engineers are more ME centered as it involves testing or analyzing the ability of vehicles and equipment to eb transported by truck, rail, air or sea.
TEA falls under SDDC. SDDC is the surface component under the army that complements the AMC and MSC. SDDC responsible for moving cargo and PAX and also moving HHG for PCS moves.
Here is where it gets a little murkier on the org chart. This chart shows the three component commands flowing into US TRANSCOM.
I work for and get paid by the US Army. My operational directions come from US TRANSCOM.

PAUSE FOR QUESTIONS
Quote the words of Dr. Rillet: “Rilett said two goals govern the design of military entrance gates: safe and efficient entry, and security — goals he acknowledged can conflict with each other.” January 2017 Omaha World Herald
September 11, 2001
Other events were the bombing of Kobar towers in the mid-90s and even the bombing of the OKC Federal Building. These incidents greatly raised the level of awareness about who was coming onto bases and how we were protecting the personnel and assets on the bases.
Active Duty to Civilian/Contractor Personnel:
Debatable This is debatable for a few reasons. If you go back 50 years ago this is probably true but with the past 15-20 years the data does not support.

Geometrics?
Our Traffic Engineering and Safety Seminar spends about a day going over EFC/ACP. The USACE holds a clase on ECF design that is a week long. I am only going to be able to hit on a few areas in my time here.
A few of the big tickets areas we spend a lot of time on during our studies is …..
Going to Focus on Two of Those
This is debatable for a few reasons. If you go back 50 years ago this is probably true but with the past 15-20 years the data does not support.
Data Collection also focuses on things not seen. For instance, how many people currently deployed from that base? Is the base expecting any significant growth, i.e. BRAC? If base changing locations of facilities?

Design for FP Bravo or lower. And LOS D. LOS D is defined for us as a vehicle experiencing about 120 seconds of wait time. This is for the peak hour. FP Bravo usually means checking the driver’s ID, maybe all occupants, maybe a DBIDS check.
If we have space constraints, we will run numbers on 2 and 3 ID checkers per lane but this is not the go-to option. Since you do not experience the same benefit of 1 ID checker per lane. Going from 1-2 checkers only gets you 100-150 more vehicles per hour. Upping to 3 is less than that.
QUESTIONS
Threat Speed is dependent u
Theoretical Longest Zone: ~1600’
This allows us to reduce our total response time to 7 second because we have added the longer detection loops so our clearance time was reduced to 2 seconds.
We are looking at our Conventional Design to determine if it is possible to lengthen the loops in that set up and reduce our clearance time to 2 seconds as well which reduces the total response time to 7 seconds and thus reduces footprint. If that occurs the only theoretical difference between that design and this will be the traffic arm which just allows you to operate this system with the barrier up during periods of low volume.
Other schemes involve location at an adjacent intersection.
