Abstract Derailment of trains is not unusual all around the world, especially in developing countries, due to unidentified track or rolling stock faults that cause massive casualties each year. For this purpose, a proper condition monitoring system is essential to avoid accidents and heavy losses. Generally, the detection and classification of railway track surface faults in real-time requires massive computational processing and memory resources and is prone to a noisy environment. Therefore, in this paper, we present the development of a novel embedded system prototype for condition monitoring of railway track. The proposed prototype system works in real-time by acquiring railway… More >

Abstract A measure of the “goodness” or efficiency of the test suite is used to determine the proficiency of a test suite. The appropriateness of the test suite is determined through mutation analysis. Several Finite State Machine (FSM) mutants are produced in mutation analysis by injecting errors against hypotheses. These mutants serve as test subjects for the test suite (TS). The effectiveness of the test suite is proportional to the number of eliminated mutants. The most effective test suite is the one that removes the most significant number of mutants at the optimal time. It is difficult to determine the fault… More >

Abstract Railway turnout is one of the critical equipment of Switch & Crossing (S&C) Systems in railway, related to the train’s safety and operation efficiency. With the advancement of intelligent sensors, data-driven fault detection technology for railway turnout has become an important research topic. However, little research in the literature has investigated the capability of data-driven fault detection technology for metro railway turnout. This paper presents a convolutional autoencoder-based fault detection method for the metro railway turnout considering human field inspection scenarios. First, the one-dimensional original time-series signal is converted into a two-dimensional image by data pre-processing and 2D representation. Next,… More >

Abstract In the field of fault tolerance estimation, the increasing attention in electrical motors is the fault detection and diagnosis. The tasks performed by these machines are progressively complex and the enhancements are likewise looked for in the field of fault diagnosis. It has now turned out to be essential to diagnose faults at their very inception; as unscheduled machine downtime can upset deadlines and cause heavy financial burden. In this paper, fault diagnosis and speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is proposed. Elman Neural Network (ENN) is used to diagnose the fault of permanent magnet synchronous motor. Both… More >

Abstract Preventive maintenance in the transformer is performed through a differential relay protection system, and it protects the transformer from internal and external faults. However, the Current Transformer (CT) in the differential protection system mal-operates during inrush currents. CT saturates due to magnetizing inrush currents and causes false tripping of the differential relays. Moreover, identification of tripping in protection relay either due to inrush current or internal faults needs to be diagnosed. For the above problem, continuous monitoring of transformer breather and CT terminals with thermal camera helps detect the tripping in relay due to inrush or internal fault. The transformer’s… More >

Abstract Test Case Prioritization (TCP) techniques perform better than other regression test optimization techniques including Test Suite Reduction (TSR) and Test Case Selection (TCS). Many TCP techniques are available, and their performance is usually measured through a metric Average Percentage of Fault Detection (APFD). This metric is value-neutral because it only works well when all test cases have the same cost, and all faults have the same severity. Using APFD for performance evaluation of test case orders where test cases cost or faults severity varies is prone to produce false results. Therefore, using the right metric for performance evaluation of TCP… More >

Abstract Since the end of the 1990s, cryptosystems implemented on smart cards have had to deal with two main categories of attacks: side-channel attacks and fault injection attacks. Countermeasures have been developed and validated against these two types of attacks, taking into account a well-defined attacker model. This work focuses on small vulnerabilities and countermeasures related to the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) algorithm. The work done in this paper focuses on protecting the ECDSA algorithm against fault-injection attacks. More precisely, we are interested in the countermeasures of scalar multiplication in the body of the elliptic curves to protect against… More >

Abstract Owing to the 4.0 industrial revolution condition monitoring maintenance is widely accepted as a useful approach to avoiding plant disturbances and shutdown. Recently, Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) is widely reported as a condition monitoring technique in the detection and identification of individual and multiple Induction Motor (IM) faults. However, checking the fault detection and classification with deep learning models and its comparison among themselves or conventional approaches is rarely reported in the literature. Therefore, in this work, we present the detection and identification of induction motor faults with MCSA and three Deep Learning (DL) models namely MLP, LSTM, and… More >

Abstract Robustness of the electronic cryptographic devices against fault injection attacks is a great concern to ensure security. Due to significant resource constraints, these devices are limited in their capabilities. The increasing complexity of cryptographic devices necessitates the development of a fast simulation environment capable of performing security tests against fault injection attacks. SystemC is a good choice for Electronic System Level (ESL) modeling since it enables models to run at a faster rate. To enable fault injection and detection inside a SystemC cryptographic model, however, the model’s source code must be updated. Without altering the source code, Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)… More >

Abstract In the period of Industries 4.0, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) were a major study area. Such systems frequently occur in manufacturing processes and people’s everyday lives, and they communicate intensely among physical elements and lead to inconsistency. Due to the magnitude and importance of the systems they support, the cyber quantum models must function effectively. In this paper, an image-processing-based anomalous mobility detecting approach is suggested that may be added to systems at any time. The expense of glitches, failures or destroyed products is decreased when anomalous activities are detected and unplanned scenarios are avoided. The presently offered techniques are not… More >
