Vol 5, No 1 (2020): Ultra Low Power Firmware Design for Battery-Free IoT Nodes
Authors: Gitanjali Sharma, Manoj Bairagi, Sneha Kulkarni, Anurag Jain
Abstract: Battery-free Internet of Things (IoT) nodes are emerging as an important solution for sustainable sensing, monitoring, and automation systems. These nodes operate only on harvested energy from environment such as light, vibration, RF signals, and thermal gradients. In such systems, firmware design plays a very critical role because hardware alone cannot guarantee ultra-low power operation. Proper firmware techniques like aggressive sleep scheduling, event-driven execution, energy aware task scheduling, and memory optimization decides whether the node can operate continuously or not. This paper reviews the principles and methods for ultra low power firmware development specifically for battery-free IoT nodes. It discusses energy harvesting models, intermittent computing, state retention, communication optimization, and real time constraints. Tables and figures are provided to explain firmware strategies. This review will help embedded designers to understand how firmware architecture directly impacts energy consumption and reliability of battery-less devices.

Vol 4, No 1 (2019): Smart Energy Meter
Authors:-K. V. Jyothi Prakash
Abstract:- Electricity has become one of the basic requirements for human life as it is being widely used for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes [1]. Conserving energy is not just about saving up electricity costs, but also involves being eco-friendly, thereby, protecting the environment. Using a limited amount of electricity to fulfill one’s needs is acceptable. However, it becomes a major issue when people start consuming excess electricity and start wasting it. Over the past years the consumption of electricity has increased massively, people may not notice the negative effects of high consumption of electricity at the moment, but it will have severe consequences later on. In this paper a smart energy meter is proposed with which the consumer will be notified the amount of power consumed by the end of the day such that he can plan the consumption of power. Also the power consumed by the consumer will be notified to the distributor as well as consumer such that no manpower is necessary for meter reading.

Authors:-P.N.S. Sailaja, P. Hemalatha, K. Teena Rani, A. Anil Kumar, D. Pavan Kalyan
Abstract:-This paper is presented about a system of recording student attendance using fingerprint identification that allows students to monitor student attendance or an employee attendance to class or an institution is a true electronically. Biometric identification is one of the oldest methods which have been successfully used in numerous applications. Every person has unique, immutable fingerprints. A fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger. The distinctiveness of a fingerprint can be determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows as well as the minutiae points. Minutiae points are local ridge characteristics that occur at either a ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending. It can reduce the presence of fraudulent students or employee and the system can also reduce problems such as the presence of the missing paper and easily damaged. With this system can replace the existing manual system to a more systematic and electronics. This attendance system will be displayed on a computer with more attractive statistics. This system can be used by lecturers to replace the old method of attendance recording, so that the integrity of the attendance record can be upheld. The actual attendance can be recorded and stored in database. The system is also capable of processing the record to determine students who do not fulfill the attendance percentage requirement.

Vol 4, No 1 (2019): Automatic Alert to Safety Officers
Authors:-Aditi Sharma, Deepika, Deepak Sharma, Rahul Shandily
Abstract:-The expeditious growth of technology and infrastructure has made our life easier. The development of technology has also increased the road accidents which cause huge loss of life and this is all due to poor facilities and sometimes even because of the unawareness of the accident spot at which the accident has took place and that’s why ambulance service cannot be reached. Our paper will provide a superlative solution to this drawback. Impact sensors can be used in vehicles to detect any collision. An automatic alert to Safety Officers or Ambulances for accident victims in vehicles could be given by developing software and a prototype hardware sensor. The sensor device may be integrated or embedded to the vehicle's collision detection system (for example: like deployment of Airbag, collapsing the steering) so that when accident occurs, sensor and associate software will send a panic signal using the GPS technology to all the GPS enabled ambulances nearby with exact location of accident. The alert may also be sent to police control room. The combination of hardware and software may be suitable for deployment in all type of vehicles. This will help to provide immediate medical assistance to the victim and can save the life. A prototype hardware sensor may be developed which has to be embedded in the vehicle to sense accident / collision. Software may be developed to integrate with the vehicle's GPS software system, which will automatically have activated by sensing the collision and will send alert messages either to police control room or to all GPS enabled Ambulances nearby to attend the accident site with exact location of the accident. This will save valuable time to save the life of victim. According to this paper when a vehicle meet with an accident then the pressure on the impact sensor is detected and the signals then will be passed to the microcontroller Arduino. Microcontroller sends the HTTP Post Request to server through GSM module. The GPS module is used to identify the car’s location. Once the request is send to server it informs to nearby police station as well as to nearby hospitals. The hospital informs to the ambulance and the ambulance reaches there and acknowledges the server. Similarly police also acknowledge the server. This research is able to detect accidents and provide quick help to the victim. This idea can be upgraded by inserting webcam for capturing the image which will help in providing drivers assistance.

Authors:-Nisarga G. C, Sheethal R, Yashodamma S, Vani H V, Sudha T
Abstract:-Increase of vehicles has been created traffic congestion and traffic jams which is a serious threat for the ambulance to reach its destinations in time. We as engineers have to consider this serious problem and duty to make an easy go for the ambulance during emergency. In a solution to solve this threat to prevent further threat to lives we are going to systemize the sensors which optimizes the traffic light operated by microcontroller which is powered by solar panel. This system reduces the traffic jam and congestion up to certain extent. Microcontroller used here is 89S52 which belongs to MCS-51 family. IR Transmitter and Receiver are placed on either side of the road. When vehicle passes in between IR Transmitter and Receiver, IR System is activated. IR System is controlled by microcontroller and t counts the number of vehicle passing on the road and keeps in memory. When vehicle count exceeds the limit microcontroller create the traffic light delays. Based on vehicle count, microcontroller defines different ranges for traffic light delays and update accordingly. At user pre-defined recording interval it records the vehicle count on a real time base. This recorded data is used to analyze traffic conditions in future. This data could be downloaded through communication between the microcontroller and the computer which is done by the computer administrator (access the traffic condition) on a central computer station access the traffic condition and reduce the congestion by creating traffic light delays.

Vol 3, No 1 (2018): Implementation of Weighted Compressive Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors:-Shyamala SC
Abstract:-Wireless Sensor Networks consists of sensor nodes continuously monitoring environment data and then transmitting to the Base Station (BS). If data is not processed before sending to BS, it consumes more energy since energy required for transmission is more compared to energy required for processing. Therefore a Traditional Compressive Sampling (CS) data aggregation method is used. This CS method for each CS measurement more number of sensors are involved leads to ineffective consumption of energy in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). To resolve the issue a new method in the network layer called Weighted Compressive Data Aggregation (WCDA) is implemented in this project. These algorithm sensor nodes are able to control the power to forming energy efficient routing trees and to minimize the consumption of energy by use the sparse random measurement matrix. Another data aggregation method called as Cluster-based Weighted Compressive Data Aggregation (CWCDA) is implemented in this project. CWCDA is the improved version of WCDA and it significantly reduces the energy consumption in WSN model. CWCDA algorithm at each cluster runs the WCDA algorithm to decrease number of sensor nodes participated throughout Compressive sensing. In the algorithm, for each cluster candidate nodes are selected to each collector node forms the collection tree have little structure than the WCDA algorithm. The WCDA and the CWCDA algorithms are compared and an analysis of energy consumption and life time of the network in terms of sink location, CS measurement samples and number of sensor nodes and clusters.

Authors: M. Sripriya, Ch. Syam Sundararao, R. Mahesh3 M. Katyayani, J. V. Gowthami
Abstract: The objective of ambient intelligence is to create an intelligent daily space, which is immediately usable and integrated into our homes, our offices, our roads, our cars, and everywhere. This new concept must be invisible; it must blend in with our normal environment and must be present when we need it. One of the applications of this concept consists of providing our cars and roads with capabilities to make the road more secure (information about the traffic, accidents, dangers, possible detours, weather, etc.) and to make our time on the road more enjoyable (Internet access, network games, helping two people follow each other on the road, chat, etc.). These applications are typical examples of what we call an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) whose goal is to improve security, efficiency and enjoyment in road transport through the use of new technologies for information and communication (NTIC). In this project we are using GSM/GPRS vehicle tracking system and vehicle to vehicle communication system. Vibration sensor detects the accident and using GSM technology it sends the message to another vehicle. If in the case of accident we can detect the location and find the latitude and longitude value. Traditional traffic management systems are based on centralized infrastructures where sensors are implemented along the road, collect information on density and traffic state and transmit this data to a central unit to process it and make appropriate decisions.

Vol 2, No 2 (2017): Secure Embedded Systems: Hardware-Based Security Techniques
Author: Swapnil More, Pooja Deshmane, Aditya Kulkarni
Abstract: The widespread deployment of embedded systems in Internet of Things (IoT), automotive, industrial control, healthcare, and consumer electronics has significantly increased the system attack surface. Unlike traditional computing systems, embedded devices often operate with limited resources, long life cycles, and minimal physical protection, making them attractive targets for cyberattacks. Software-only security mechanisms are frequently insufficient to counter advanced threats such as physical tampering, side-channel attacks, and firmware manipulation. Hardware-based security techniques provide a robust foundation for securing embedded systems by establishing trust at the lowest system level. This paper presents a comprehensive study of hardware-based security techniques for secure embedded systems. It discusses secure boot, hardware roots of trust, trusted execution environments, cryptographic accelerators, physically unclonable functions, and secure key storage. A reference secure embedded architecture is proposed and evaluated through an IoT gateway use case. The study highlights how hardware-assisted security significantly enhances system resilience against both logical and physical attacks.

Authors: R. Kamalakannan, N. Ravi Kumar
Abstract: In a critical situation many vehicles face accident, due to this lot of people lost their. After that accident, some life cannot be saved due to lack of information, time and place. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. E-call is the telecommunication service aimed to provide the automatic notification of the road accident based on the GPS positioning and provision of E-call prioritization within the GSM communication. Suppose when a person met with an accident, the location of the vehicle can be identified by using GPS immediately and emergency number stored in the microcontroller will send accident location as SMS message through GSM modem. Initiative calls from emergency number to relatives, ambulance, police and fire service which are already stored in the server database. With the help of the E-call telecommunication service, the recipient can trace the location which helps to save many life. So, as soon as the recipient reaches the location they will try to save the life of the victim.
