Distributed Neural Network Based Architecture For Ddos Detection In Vehicular Communication Systems, Nicholas Jaton Jul 2021

Distributed Neural Network Based Architecture For Ddos Detection In Vehicular Communication Systems, Nicholas Jaton

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

With the continued development of modern vehicular communication systems, there is an ever growing need for cutting edge security in these systems. A misbehavior detection systems (MDS) is a tool developed to determine if a vehicle is being attacked so that the vehicle can take steps to mitigate harm from the attacker. Some attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are a concern for vehicular communication systems. During a DDoS attack, multiple nodes are used to flood the target with an overwhelming amount of communication packets. In this thesis, we investigated the current MDS literature and how it …

With climate change causing an increase in temperature over the past several decades, wildfires have been burning hotter and moving quicker leaving a trail of destruction in their path. Detecting a wildfire early allows firefighters to respond efficiently and effectively to ensure containment. With the rise of advanced computer vision and algorithms, autonomous systems can be used to monitor and report any fire activity. Having multiple devices spread out across a large area will allow first responders to map out the fire location and track the fire. By utilizing smart technologies, property damage can be minimized and residents living in …


Concusion Detection Headband Design, John Durkin, Noah Lewis, John Michel Jan 2021

Concusion Detection Headband Design, John Durkin, Noah Lewis, John Michel

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

Concussion in sports is a prevalent medical issue. It can be difficult for medical professionals to diagnose concussions. With the fast pace nature of many sports, and the damaging effects of concussions, it is important that any concussion risks are assessed immediately. There is a growing trend of wearable technology that collects data such as steps, and provides the wearer with in-depth information regarding their performance. The Smart Headband project created a wearable that can record impact data and provide the wearer with a detailed analysis on their risk of sustaining a concussion. The Smart Headband uses accelerometers and gyroscopes …
