Although IoT brings significant advantages over traditional information and communication (ICT) technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), these applications are still very rare. Although there is a continuous improvement in road and vehicle safety, as well as improvements in IoT, the road traffic accidents have been increasing over the last decades. Therefore, it is necessary to find an effective way to reduce the frequency and severity of traffic accidents. Hence, this paper presents an intelligent traffic accident detection system in which vehicles exchange their microscopic vehicle variables with each other. The proposed system uses simulated data collected from vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) based on the speeds and coordinates of the vehicles and then, it sends traffic alerts to the drivers. Furthermore, it shows how machine learning methods can be exploited to detect accidents on freeways in ITS. It is shown that if position and velocity values of every vehicle are given, vehicles' behavior could be analyzed and accidents can be detected easily. Supervised machine learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forests (RF) are implemented on traffic data to develop a model to distinguish accident cases from normal cases. The performance of RF algorithm, in terms of its accuracy, was found superior to ANN and SVM algorithms. RF algorithm has showed better performance with 91.56% accuracy than SVM with 88.71% and ANN with 90.02% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130749130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It plays a significant role in chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, agriculture, fish farming, and industries. Lately, Internet of Things (IoT) appears as a new era of research and applications. IoT is designed to connect both digital and physical objects using communication technology. The main objective of this paper is to build a tool that allows real-time control of the pH level of a specific solution or product using the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. Specifically, this tool is made of an Arduino that is connected to both a designed mobile app and a physical device using the internet. This app allows the user to choose either automatic (auto) or manual (manual) control modes. In the former, the system will behave as a feedback control scheme where the user will be requested to specify the desired pH value and the specific period needed to keep the experiment running. In the later (manual), the user should set the amounts of acidic and alkaline solutions in each pumping process. The hardware and software descriptions set out here will be realized as a prototype system.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132044414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A huge quantity of sensors are added to the IoT, and the processing of a large amount of data coming from Input-Output devices and sensor networks increases the energy consumption. To have more efficiency, the mobility of IoT based system requires low energy consumption. Smart devices perform the data offloading to external devices with increased communication effort, and this effort contribute to the overall power consumption of the smart devices. This power hungry nature of the communication infrastructure and computational resources using cloud computing is not very much suitable to design the future computational system. This nature changed the trend to shift the smartness of the things more adjacent to the things themselves and network edge (FoG) instead of towards the cloud. This shift can improve the computing capacity of the smart objects and limit energy consumption. This paper aims at exploring emerging approaches, ideas, and contributions to address the challenges in the design of energy efficient computational centric smart objects for IoT.

Leaving negative implications on traffic congestion, air pollutions, climate changes, etc. are also creating difficult situations to find the secure parking lot on required time. Thus, Smart Parking System (SPS) deemed inevitable option to solve those issues and build a comprehensive smart transportation system. Toward this end, this paper aims to design a secure and smart parking monitoring, controlling and management solutions based on the integration of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Adhoc Network, and Internet of Things (IoT). Considering cyber security issues in IoT environment, we adopt a lightweight cryptographic algorithm that meets IoT device requirements in term of computational cost and energy consumption. Fog computing has been adopted to process and manipulate sensitive data within the edge of the network and accelerate response time for any emergency circumstance. The proposed model provides real-time information for detecting parking lots and reservation, e-payment solutions to mitigate traffic congestion, parking management optimization and enhance user experience while preserving user privacy and security.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"2 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127419493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several remote software-based attestation mechanisms have been introduced, that rely on strict time constraints and other impractical constraints that make them inconvenient for IoT systems. Although some research is done to address these issues, they integrated trusted hardware devices to the attested devices to accomplish their aim, which is costly and not convenient for many use cases. In this paper, we propose “Dual Attestation” that includes two stages: static and dynamic. The static attestation phase checks the memory of the attested device. The dynamic attestation technique checks the execution correctness of the application code and can detect the runtime attacks. The objectives are to minimize the overhead and detect these attacks, by developing an optimized dynamic technique that checks the application program flow. The optimization will be done in the prover and the verifier sides.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127718228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is to develop a smartphone based wireless controlled car lock demonstrator for education. Indeed, the recent technological evolution has revolutionized the use of smartphones in our lives. The idea is to allow a group of authorized people to share a lot of cars. Whenever an authorized person requires a car, a request is firstly submitted via internet to a server based utility. On the availability of a car the request is granted and vice versa. In the case of an authorization, a digital code is sent to the smartphone of the person who has originated the car request. In order to convey the digital code, received on the smartphone, to the front end embedded controller a customized Android-based application is devised. It is developed by using the MIT inventor app. This application is installed on the smartphone and it is linked to the front-end embedded controller based digital car lock via the Bluetooth interface. The intended code, to lock or unlock the car, is sent by the concerned person by using this application. The command is transmitted to the front-end embedded controller via the Bluetooth port. After a recognition, the received command is executed by the front-end module and a flag is returned to the smartphone-based soft application. The concerned car status with time and date is also recorded in the application platform and is updated on the cloud. It allows to access this information globally and at any time with a passcode.

Residential consumption in Saudi Arabia accounts for 51% of total electricity sold in 2012. Therefore, targeting private residencies will reduce both the amount of fuel needed to generate electricity and the amount of greenhouse gases. This project aims to build a smart home system. This system will monitor and analyze the energy consumption, utilize lights when needed, program the temperature by keeping your house warmer than normal when you are away and setting the temperature as high as comfortable if needed. Then display the information to improve customer awareness by using colored LEDs to alert customers to different parameters, and turn their loads on and off based on the cost of electricity use as well as enable consumers to control some of their home appliances usage through a mobile application to reduce electricity usage and minimize energy waste.","PeriodicalId":299115,"journal":{"name":"2018 15th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121451914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
