Green Lights Forever: Analyzing the Security of Traffic Infrastructureo1066391
The safety critical nature of traffic infrastructure requires
that it be secure against computer-based attacks, but this
is not always the case. We investigate a networked traffic
signal system currently deployed in the United States
and discover a number of security flaws that exist due
to systemic failures by the designers. We leverage these
flaws to create attacks which gain control of the system,
and we successfully demonstrate them on the deployment
in coordination with authorities. Our attacks show that
an adversary can control traffic infrastructure to cause
disruption, degrade safety, or gain an unfair advantage.
We make recommendations on how to improve existing
systems and discuss the lessons learned for embedded
systems security in general.

This document describes a proposed vehicle density sensor system to manage traffic congestion. The system uses sensors like infrared sensors placed on roads to detect vehicle density in real-time. A microcontroller collects this sensor data and sends it to a computer. Based on the detected vehicle density, the computer then dynamically adjusts the timing of traffic lights at intersections to reduce congestion. By taking into account current traffic conditions, this proposed system aims to more efficiently control traffic flows compared to traditional fixed-time traffic light systems.
Vehicle density sensor system to manage trafficeSAT Journals
Abstract The aim of this study is to solve traffic congestion which is a severe problem in many modern cities all over the world. To solve this problem, we have a framework for a dynamic and automatic traffic light control system. Generally, each traffic light on an intersection is assigned a constant green signal time. It is possible to propose a dynamic time-based coordination schemes where the green signal time of the traffic lights is assigned based on the present conditions of the traffic. In this study, we adapt the approach to take data/input/image from object/ subject/vehicle and to process the input data by Computer and Microcontroller and finally display it on the traffic light signal to control the Closed Loop System.

Disaster Debris Detection and Management System using WSN & IoTEswar Publications
Disasters like earthquake, landslide, flood etc. typically generate enormous amount of debris in the disaster struck area. As a result of these disasters, there will be destruction of properties like home, public infrastructure which results in insecurity, loss of life and property and also interrupts public services. Wireless Sensor Networks play a vital role in disaster debris detection and management. Debris flows usually occurs in mountain regions having steep front. They comprise a huge congregation of solid matter like mud, soil are other waste generated due to earthquake, landslide etc. in water that flows down in the form of a wave. Landslides, earthquake and floods generate debris. They are amongst the foremost vulnerable natural disasters in mountainous torrents. Different factors are attributable to quality of debris flow: firstly their potentiality of
transportation and deposition of enormous quantity of solid matters, which can additionally approach gigantic sizes, their sheer fronts, can attain huge meters of altitude and additionally their high speeds and depth of flow. To mitigate the effects of debris, a disaster debris management system is designed containing an different sensors, Nmote and an N-gateway to measure various parameters of debris flow and an alert is sent to the public and rescue team by using cloud services in advance so that there is less loss of life and property.

In this research work an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) will be implemented to detect and prevent critical networks infrastructure from cyber-attacks. To strengthen network security and improve the network's active defense intrusion detection capabilities, this project will consist of intrusion detection system using honey token based encrypted pointers and intrusion prevention system which based on the mixed interactive honeypot. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is based on the novel approach of Honey Token based Encrypted Pointers. This honey token inside the frame will serve as a trap for the attacker. All nodes operating within the working domain of critical infrastructure network are divided into four different pools. This division is based per their computational power and level of vulnerability. These pools are provided with different levels of security measures within the network. IDS use different number of Honey Tokens (HT) per frame for every different pool e.g. Pool-A contains 4 HT/frame, Pool-B contains 3 HT/frame, Pool-C contains 2 HT/frame and Pool-D contain 1 HT/frame. Moreover, every pool uses different types of encryption schemes (AES-128,192,256). Our critical infrastructure network of 64 nodes is under the umbrella of unified security provided by this single Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). After the design phase of IDS, we analyze the performance of IDS in terms of True Positives (TP) and False Negatives (FN). Finally, we test these IDS through Network Penetration Testing (NPT) phase. The detection rate depends on the number of honey tokens per frame. Our proposed IDS are a scalable solution and it can be implemented for any number of nodes in critical infrastructure network. However, in case of Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) we use Virtual honeypot technology which is the best active prevention technology among all honeypot technologies. By using the original operating system and virtual technology, the honeypot lures attackers in a pre-arranged manner, analyzes and audits various attacking behavior, tracks the attack source, obtains evidence, and finds effective solutions.

“AI techniques in cyber-security applications”. Flammini lnu susec19Francesco Flammini
The document discusses using artificial intelligence techniques like Bayesian networks and event trees for cybersecurity applications. It describes how these techniques can help address issues with security operations centers being overwhelmed by too much information from various sensors and systems. Bayesian networks and event trees can help fuse data from different sources to detect threats more effectively. The document provides examples of how Bayesian networks can be built using historical threat data and customized for specific organizations. It also discusses how these models can be updated dynamically based on real-time data from systems.
Embedded systems control devices and have dedicated functions, while cyber-physical systems intensively connect computational entities to the physical world. The research group at Linnaeus University studies cyber-physical systems and IoT security, developing techniques for smart troubleshooting of connected devices and applying IoT solutions to smart environments. They also provide IoT education to help students learn about these important topics.
- The document discusses virtual coupling, which aims to allow trains to operate closer together while maintaining safety. It explores extending ERTMS Level 3 to enable this through cooperative driving and dynamic train compositions.
- Preliminary simulations show a train joining a fleet in virtual coupling mode and coordinated emergency braking of the coupled trains. Further work is needed to fully implement and test virtual coupling.
This document discusses using virtual coupling to increase railway line capacity. Virtual coupling would allow trains to virtually join together by reducing headways. This could transfer achievements from vehicle platooning to railways. The document proposes a vision of virtual coupling integrated with ERTMS Level 3 moving block signaling. Trains would communicate position/speed and follow a desired spacing profile determined by the radio block center. A stochastic Petri net model is presented and simulated, showing virtual coupling could increase train frequency on a high-speed line from 20 to 100 trains per hour by reducing headways from 3 to 0.36 minutes. Compatibility with ERTMS standards is discussed.
Smart-Troubleshooting Symbiotic Autonomous Systems in the Connected SocietyFrancesco Flammini
This document summarizes a presentation on smart troubleshooting of interconnected devices. It discusses how as devices become more connected and complex, troubleshooting failures is challenging. Research aims to gather error logs from different devices, analyze them to match fixes and instructions. This could help with troubleshooting in smart cities and transportation. The proposed approach would reuse a framework to model dependability and security. It is connected to research on symbiotic autonomous systems and addresses areas like big data, machine learning, and cybersecurity.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
