Visible to the public Distributed Data Analytics for Real-Time Monitoring and Detection of Flash Floods in Smart City

Submitted by David Corman on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributors:

Electricity usage of buildings (including offices, malls and residential apartments) represents a significant portion of a nation's energy expenditure and carbon footprint. Buildings are estimated to consume 72% of the total electricity production in the US. Unfortunately, however, 30% of this energy consumption is wasted. Virtual energy assessment is an approach that can optimize building energy efficiency and minimize waste at a low cost with minimal expert intervention.

Visible to the public CRII- CPS- Architecture and Distributed Computation in the Networked Control Paradigm- An Autonomous Grid Example

Submitted by nilanjgec on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributors:

This project is focused on the fundamental research in establishing a foundational framework towards the development of an autonomous Cyber-Physical System (CPS) through distributed computation in a Networked Control Systems (NCS) paradigm. Specific attention is focused on an application where the computational, and communication challenges are unique due to the sheer dimensionality of the physical system. An example of such CPS is the smart power grid, which includes large-scale deployment of distributed and networked Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and wind energy resources.

Visible to the public CPS- Synergy- Collaborative- TPP Option- Dynamic Methods of Traffic Control that Impact Quality of Life in Smart Cities

Submitted by Nikolaos Papaniko... on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributors:

Traffic control management strategies have been largely focused on improving vehicular traffic flows on highways and freeways but arterials have not been used properly and pedestrians are mostly ignored. New urban arterial designs encourage modal shifts which gives further impetus to devise novel traffic control strategies to more quickly respond to changing conditions and salient events, while balancing safety and efficiency for all users.

Visible to the public CPS- Breakthrough- Distributed computing under uncertainty- a new paradigm for cooperative cyber-physical systems Poster.pdf

Submitted by Nicola Elia on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributor:

This project is to develop dynamical models of distributed computation systems that are resilient to noise, unreliable communication and other source uncertainty. The key idea is centered on the development of optimization systems. These are dynamical systems that (solve) stabilize around the optimal solution of a (static) convex optimization problem. If the optimization problem is separable, then the designed dynamic system decomposes into a set of locally interacting dynamic systems.

Visible to the public Safe Collaborative driving Systems

Submitted by Nicholas Maxemchuk on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributor:

The objective of this project has been to apply the techniques developed for communications networks to collaborative, intelligent vehicles. The techniques are applied to a lane merge protocol that assists a driver who is merging between two vehicles in an adjacent lane.

The previous work that has been reported on this project includes: a multiple stack, layered architecture; a strategy for using synchronized clocks; and the probabilistic verification of protocols.

Visible to the public Understanding Sub-Second Instabilities in a Global Cyber-Physical System

Submitted by nfjhnsn on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:41pm. Contributor:

Future CPS will include large, decentralized systems of semi-autonomous sensor and actuator
components, and will need to operate safely beyond human response times. One current datarich
example is the U.S. network of electronic exchange networks which is the largest and
fastest network CPS in existence, but is already known to produce a wide variety of sub-second
instabilities that are little understood and which impact safety, efficiency and accuracy. Urgent
questions facing such CPS systems are therefore: When do extreme and hence potentially

Visible to the public SCALE2- Resilient IoT-Based Safe Community Awareness and Alerting Platforms Poster.pdf

Submitted by Nalini Venkatasub... on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:36pm. Contributors:

SCALE (Safe Community Awareness and Alerting) is a Global Cities Challenge Project with multiple deployments, the primary one being in in Montgomery County, Maryland. SCALE2 is a community government/academic/industry partnership effort that aims to deploy, actuate and evaluate techniques to support multiple heterogeneous IoT technologies in real world communities. Through SCALE, significant public benefits can be enabled in the areas of emergency preparedness/response at the individual and community scale.

Visible to the public AquaSCALE- Exploring Resilience of Community Water Systems Poster.pdf

Submitted by Nalini Venkatasub... on Mon, 10/31/2016 - 5:36pm. Contributors:

AquaSCALE is a cyber-physical-human middleware for gathering, analyzing and adapting operations of increasingly failure-prone community water services. Today, detection of anomalous events in civil infrastructures (e.g. water pipe breaks and leaks) is time consuming and often takes hours or days. AquaSCALE leverages dynamic data from multiple information sources including IoT sensing data, geophysical data, human input, and simulation and modeling engines to accurately and quickly identify vulnerable spots in water networks.
