Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Percent of Benefits
ECONOMIC APPRAISAL
Economic benefits are social and environmental benefits which are quantified and then converted into money cost and
discounted against the cost of construction and maintenance for deriving Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR).
Economic appraisal of a project starts from quantification of measurable economic benefits in economic money values, which are
basically the savings of resource cost due to introduction of the metro line. Economic savings are derived from the difference of
the cost of the same benefit components under ‘with’ and ‘without’ metro line.

33. Major issues while implementing project
Land acquisition:-
Land acquisition will cost approximately Rs. 770 crore in Phase-1 of the Ahmedabad metrorail
project. Till now, about 50% of the land has been acquired and remaining land, needed for
constructing various utilities, will be completed soon.
One person from nava vadaj approached the high court and complained that GMRC officials
negotiated terms of land acquisition and promised them higher return but after they
surrendered their lands for the metro project the authorities did not keep their promise.
AHMEDABAD - GANDHINAGAR METRO RAIL PROJECT 33
34. The official said, “The issue at Thaltej is about the width of DP(Development
plan) road that connects Thaltej chowkdi with Thaltej Gam. The issue is being
handled by the AMC. Once AMC finishes its work, GMRC will take over. ”

Cut and Cover mainly consists of following steps:
1. Diversion of utilities
2. Construction of support walls
3. Excavation between the support walls along with the installation of struts between the two
walls to keep them in position.
4. Construction of tunnel/structure and removal of temporary struts.
5. Back filling and restoration of the surface
AHMEDABAD - GANDHINAGAR METRO RAIL PROJECT 38
39. GEO-TECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS
To determine the required strength characteristics of the underlying soil/rock strata to design
the foundation of the structure proposed to be constructed at various location and the
subsurface profile of the underlying strata.
Standard Penetration Tests
Grain Size Analysis
Atterberg’s Limits
Field Density and Moisture Content
Chemical Analysis of Soil and Water
Rock Test Analysis
AHMEDABAD - GANDHINAGAR METRO RAIL PROJECT 39
40. Construction methods
Reduction in construction period due to concurrent working for substructure and superstructure.
For segmental, pre-cast element (of generally 3.0m length), transportation from construction depot
to site is easy and economical.
Minimum inconvenience is caused to the public utilizing the road as the superstructure launching is
carried out through launching girder requiring narrow width of the road.
As the pre-cast elements are cast on production line in a construction depot, very good quality can
be ensured.
The method is environment friendly as no concreting work is carried at site for the superstructure.
AHMEDABAD - GANDHINAGAR METRO RAIL PROJECT 40
41. Few Methods used while construction
Elevated viaduct consisting of pre-stressed concrete “Box” shaped Grinders on the
single pier with pile/open foundations
Underground tunneling by TBM(Tunnel Boring machine) using EPBM(Earth Pressure
Balancing Method) technology
Some portion by NATM(North Austrian tunnelling method) and UG station by the cut &

Utility Services
The DMRC has collected details of various utilities from concerned agencies/organizations directly for the entire alignment. Large
number of sub-surface, surface and overhead utility services viz. sewers, water mains, storm water drains, telephone cables, O.H
electrical transmission lines, electric poles, traffic signals, etc. are existing along the proposed alignment.
These utility services are essential and have to be maintained in working order during different stages of construction, by
temporary/permanent diversions or by supporting in position. Since these may affect construction and project implementation
time schedule/costs, for which necessary planning/action needs to be initiated in advance.
Traffic Diversion during Construction
Only temporary diversion plans will be required during construction of the Metro corridors under MEGA Metro Rail Project
network. At the onset, all encroachments from road ROW will have to be removed. These encroachments vary from ‘on-
street’ parking to informal activities. During the construction of works on underground sections by cut and cover, it is
proposed that temporary decking may be provided by blocking the road carriageway partially to permit ‘through’ as well as
right-turning traffic movements.
Total blockage of traffic along the section will be done wherever reasonably good alternate road is available. Keeping in view
of future traffic growth and reduction of carriageway due to Metro construction, implementation of traffic
management/diversion plans shall become inevitable for ensuring smooth traffic movement.

As all knows, safety is important thing in
any of the work. There should be safe
environment for all people. In our site,
they are also taking care of safety.
All of the people like workers, engineers,
interns; they are providing helmets, shoes,
jacket.
There was whole different department
called ‘SHE - Safety, Health and
Environment’ for taken care of safety.
There was medical center also at
construction yard.
There is Accident Communication Flow
Chart in which whole process is given to
follow during any accidents.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES
During the construction period, the impact on air quality will be mainly due to increase in Particulate Matter (PM) along haul roads and
emission from vehicles and construction machinery. All the vehicles, machinery and equipments to be engaged for the construction
work shall be attached with the latest, advanced pollution control measures available in the country and those shall conform to the
relevant Indian standards.
Contractor shall install barriers around the open construction sites before commencing the work. The Contractor shall sprinkle water at
construction sites to suppress dust. The Contractor shall provide a wash pit or a wheel washing and/or vehicle cleaning facility at the
exits from work sites.
NOISE CONTROL MEASURES
There will be an increase in noise level due to construction of the proposed Metro corridors. The increases in levels are
marginal; hence local population will not be adversely affected. However the exposure of workers to high noise levels
especially, near the engine, vent shaft etc, need to be minimized.
This could be achieved by: Job rotation to the extent possible, Automation, Construction of permanent and temporary noise
barriers, Acoustic enclosures should be provided for individual noise generating construction equipment and the workers
exposed to noise should be provided with protective devices.
59. VIBRATION CONTROL MEASURES
An actual vibration impact shall be carried out prior to the start of construction and during the
construction on the basis of detailed soil investigation and TBM activities involved.
Detailed geotechnical investigation is required prior to the tunnel construction. By adopting
good construction practices, generation of vibration will be controlled during construction.
