2 Outline Introduction Research topics Hot topics and ideas Video - Demo 2

3 Introduction Dr. Samy El-Tawab Assistant Professor at James Madison University Teach courses such as: Programming (Intro, advanced, mobile development) Computer Networking Network Security 3

4 Research topics - Selected Intelligent Transportation: Vehicular Networks, smart Parking, Highway Traffic management etc Computer Networks: Reliability of VoIP Computer Security: Attacks on Computer Systems, Vehicles and Transportation Systems. 4

5 Hot topics and ideas - Selected Intelligent Transportation: NOTICE FRIEND Smart Parking Security 5

6 Introduction: What is NOTICE? NOTICE is a secure, privacy-preserving architecture for the automatic detection of traffic incidents and the dissemination of related traffic advisories 6

7 Communication in NOTICE For the purpose of communicating with the belts, each car has two low-range radios that operate at low power. The front radio, placed just behind the front axle, is essential to ensuring successful handshaking between the belt and a passing car. In order to prevent eavesdropping, the front radio, #1, has a very short communication range r1 of about 1 m. 7

8 Communication in NOTICE The rear radio, #2, is placed in a tamper-proof box at the rear of the car and has a transmission range r2 of about 3 m. This radio is intended for car to belt data communication. 8

9 FRIEND: A Cyber-Physical System for Traffic Flow Related Information Aggregation and Dissemination FRIEND explores the integration of wireless networking with lightweight roadside infrastructure into a cyber-physical system (CPS) that enables privacy-aware detection of traffic-related events the dissemination to the driving public of such aggregated information both in the form of a color-coded traffic status report and traffic advisories in the case of serious incidents 9

10 Objectives and goals in brief To collect traffic data about the traffic flow To aggregate the collected data in a way that allows to detect and/or to anticipate traffic-related events To disseminate relevant traffic related information to the driving public 10

11 FRIEND - physical components smart cat s eyes (SCE) The cat s eye nodes are deployed uniformly along the road on both sides as lane separators The intention is for smart cat s eyes (SCEs) to replace, in the near future, the ubiquitous cat s eyes 11 *Photo Credit :

12 FRIEND - physical components smart cat s eyes (SCE) - components Architecture: Each SCE is a compact, self-contained package. It contains several types of sensors (including magnetometers), a radio transmitter, an RFID tag, a micro-controller, a solar panel and a lithium battery Power consumption Communication technology: SCE features a narrowband frequency-shift keying (FSK) data transceiver as well as one of many possible types of RFID tags 12 *Photo Credit :

13 FRIEND - physical components smart cat s eyes (SCE) - features suitable for edge line of road and pavement can work more than three years which promotes energy efficiency and environmental friendliness load-bearing more than 20 ton as two reinforced veins are designed on the top edges to strengthen compression resistance and protect the solar panel against compression waterproof and unbreakable: the solar panel, electronics and optics are fitted inside 13 *Photo Credit :

17 Smart Parking: What we need? How many of you had a problem parking? How does students/faculty living around harrisonburg reach James Madison University? Cars Buses Biking 17

18 Smart Parking in brief To keep track of parking lots around Campus To inform a driver of available slot even before reaching campus! 18

19 Problem definition I noticed that students /faculty/staff are having difficulty finding a parking spot around campus. Building an App that informs a driver of available spots! What is the challenge!? How many spots will be available until I reach my location? What equipment do we need? What information can we keep without breaking the privacy of F/S/STss 19
