Project Title AIoT Based Smart Water Management in Houses

Supervisors Prof.Dr. Mohamed Aboul-Dahab

We all know that "Water is elixir of life." Although the earth's 71% is
covered by water, only 0.08% of this water is accessible direct to human
being to make use for drinking, domestic purposes, sanitation,
manufacturing, leisure, agriculture etc . For this reason, water management
is essential, especially at houses, to maximize its water and minimize its
wastage. A well designed combination of artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies and the internet of things (IoT) infrastructure can yield an
appropriate solution for smart water management.
Objective: Design, simulation and implementation of an Internet of Things
(IoT) based physical layer module that senses water consumption data, in
addition to an AI module for processing this data.

Procedure: This project is based upon monitoring the use of water in

houses. This is done using two different mechanisms according to the
water supply system to the house. The first one assumes direct supply from
Abstract
the supply mains. The second mechanism assumes a supply of water from
a roof-fixed reservoir. In each mechanism, appropriate sensors are
attached to the mains pipe, to sense the flow of water to a house, and
relevant data would be sent to a controller .The controller, in turn, will
convey the data via a suitable communication link, to a cloud using the
IoT (Internet of Things) space. Cloud data are stored and processed in a
distant server that comprises an artificial intelligent module designed for
classification and feature extraction of the water consumption pasterns. In
this way, forecast indicators such as the water consumption seasonally, and
the consumption rates in different urban areas could be estimated. In
addition, if this data is to be collected by the concerned governmental
authorities, the water consumption on per-hour interval basis could be
useful to continuously calculate the cost of water and send it to the
resident's person via a suitable mobile application, along with any
necessary warnings

Mixed Traffic Environment

Supervisors Prof. Hussein ELAttar , Dr. Sherif ELdiasty

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are an imperative emerging technology for the future
intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). Early research shows that CAVs can alleviate vehicle collisions,
fatalities, traffic congestion, and energy consumption, and can enhance driving comfort. However,
undeniably, the future deployment of CAVs will be alongside the pre-existing human-driven vehicles
(HDVs) in the legacy road and traffic infrastructure. There are many existing research challenges in CAVs,
including reliable communication in intermittent vehicular networks, accurate vehicle state estimation, safe
longitudinal and lateral movements, efficient vehicle routing, and energy efficiency, to name but a few.
Mixed traffic introduces even more challenges.
Abstract
Recently, machine learning (ML) has been used for classifying and training CAVs in different aspects.
Both supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms are being used in solving different issues in CAVs.
Certainly, there is still a huge research gap and opportunities to develop improved ML-based techniques
to solve many existing challenges in CAVs. Some of the challenges of ML-based techniques for CAVs are
efficient computation, neural architecture, reward functions design, adaptability, generalization, verification
and validation, safety, etc.

Autonomous Driving.

Prof. Khaled Shehata

Supervisors
Prof. Hanady Issa
An autonomous vehicle, also referred to as a driverless car, is able to drive itself and carry
out necessary activities without the assistance of a driver since it can comprehend its
surroundings. Thermographic cameras, radar, lidar, sonar, GPS, odometry, and inertial
measurement units are just a few of the sensors self-driving cars use to sense their
surroundings. Modern control systems analyze sensor data to determine the best paths to
take, as well as potential obstacles and required signage.
Autonomous vehicles may be able to offer several advantages over human-driven
Abstract vehicles. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to reduce the amount of casualties since
the software employed in them is projected to make less mistakes than people, which
could reduce the number of fatalities caused by vehicle crashes, which occur often.
Another benefit of autonomous driving is that it may allow those who are unable to drive
due to age or disability to travel more conveniently. The removal of driver tiredness and
the ability to sleep during late-night travels are further benefits of autonomous vehicles.
This project aims to design and implement Advanced Driver Assistance Systems that can
be used for autonomous car.

Prof. Hanady Issa
Reducing traffic is a major concern these days because of the alarming rise in the number
of vehicles on a daily basis. The urban transportation system needs efficient solution
techniques to handle the current traffic conditions and the rising demand for traffic. Urban
infrastructure changes will take years to implement and occasionally may not even be
possible. So numerous intelligent transportation systems (ITS) must be created in order
to lessen traffic congestion and increase the effectiveness of public transit. Also, they
benefit bikes and pedestrians, adjust to severe weather, and give traffic engineers a better
Abstract perspective of traffic conditions. Pedestrians with disabilities can also benefit from those
traffic systems. Intersections fitted with motion sensors, and cameras, can detect people
with wheelchairs or other assistive devices before they arrive at a crosswalk,
approximating their travel time to ensure they get the right of way.
This project aims to design a hardware system for a Real Traffic light Control System
(RTLC). It supports a number of smart city transportation applications, such as
emergency vehicle signal preemption, public transport signal priority, adaptive traffic

Multiband Spectrum Sensing for Jamming Detection in IoT Networks based on

Project Title
Tiny-Machine Learning

Supervisors Dr. Azza Kamal- Dr. Mohamed Atef Alkhorieby

The development of fifth-generation (5G) and beyond wireless networks is proliferating,

intending to connect practically all parts of life via a network with substantially faster speed, very
low latency, and pervasive connection. Because of the extraordinary expansion in the provided
services and the number of devices, the considerations for the security of 5G and beyond have
increased considerably. Jamming attacks can be performed on the intelligent sensing layer, and
they are considered a significant threat that disrupts and can jeopardize fully connected networks.
In addition, jamming could stall the operations where wireless nodes are performing data
collection. Due to the evolution of Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, jamming attacks
can be implemented with low-complexity and low-cost signal generator devices with the use of
a single SDR device. The implementation of several types of jamming attacks is possible with
Abstract minimal implementation and modifications to software using tools such as GNU Radio. With
the aid of Tiny Machine Learning (Tiny-ML) (i.e., an emerging field in artificial intelligence),
the implementation of a closer-to-the-source, low-powered, jamming detector is feasible which
offers through machine learning solutions to jamming attacks within the network traffic with low
latency to the end-users. In this project, the student will implement a portable IoT-Tiny ML
jamming detector that is able to classify the type of jamming attacks based on the signal received
by low-cost and off-the-shelf hardware such as Raspberry Pi3. The classification process will be
carried on by means of deep learning. Further, the student will investigate the concept of
Multiband Spectrum Access (MBSA) by means of wideband spectrum sensing.

Moving Object Detection And Counting Based on Feature Extraction

Supervisors Dr. Azza Kamal, Dr. Mohamed Atef El Khoreby

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can be defined as an application of new

information and communication technologies of vehicles and roads for monitoring and
managing traffic flow, decreasing congestion, improving security and optimizing the
use of roads and transportation. One of the main keys to ITS is the video-based
surveillance system. It can be used for extracting some useful information such as
vehicle counting, detection, tracking and recognition. Traditionally, such information
can be extracted by utilizing induction loops, passive magnetic sensors or pneumatic
tubes under the road. These methods, in general, have limitations such as unable to
Abstract
detect stationary vehicles in addition to being highly complex in the hardware design
which translates to high cost. Therefore, the vision-based traffic monitoring system can
be considered as an active research point due to its two-fold advantages: less costly and
easier to deploy. Moreover, the advancement in the development of computational
technologies has made vision-based vehicle counting an extremely attractive option for
ITS. In this project, students will investigate feature extraction and machine learning
algorithms to propose an accurate and reliable system for moving object detection and
counting under different weather conditions with low computational time.

Detection of bradycardia in preterm infants using
Project Title
ECG and respiratory signals

Supervisors Dr. Ismail Mohammad El-Badawy

Cardiorespiratory dysregulation in newborn infants is a main concern that influences the infant’s
hospital discharge. Therefore, it is common practice to delay discharge by five consecutive days
free of any cardiorespiratory events in order to avoid sudden unexplained life-threatening events
after discharge, as such occurrence may result in re-hospitalization. Bradycardia is one of these
cardiorespiratory events that is common in preterm infants and may occur spontaneously for
several reasons. Bradycardia is defined as a heart condition, where the heart beats at a slower
rate than normal. Automatic detection of such a serious health condition is expected to help
achieve improved diagnostic and focused management strategies for preterm-born neonates.
Hence, this project aims to present a signal processing-based approach for detecting bradycardia
in preterm infants. For this, a dataset comprising electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory
signals recorded from a number of preterm infants admitted to the hospital’s neonatal intensive
Abstract care unit (NICU) will be used. MATLAB software will be utilized as a simulation tool to
incorporate different signal processing techniques with the purpose of analyzing the recorded
ECG and respiratory signals. The principal role of employing these signal processing techniques
is to extract appropriate features from the collected physiological signals, which will be
subsequently used to train a classification model. The capability of this classification model in
distinguishing infants with bradycardia from the control group will be tested in terms of
different classification performance parameters. Moreover, we look forward to coming up with
a hardware prototype of the model that will be developed during the project according to the
time plan and the progress of the participating students.
