- Description: Internet of things (IoT) systems are becoming multidisciplinary day by day and integrating more and more mechanical, electrical, electronics, control and information disciplines. This integration is making mechatronics systems based on IoT easily available for public uses. Government organisations, different industries, healthcare systems and individual users are using these systems to store different kind of public, private, confidential and classified information. This is attracting cyber attackers to make cyber and cyber physical attacks to these systems. Currently, security policy researchers of both industries and academic institutes are analysing existing cyber attacks and are developing different types of techniques to protect the systems against potential cyber-threats and cyber attacks. This paper analyses the increasing exploitation of IoT based mechatronics system, which has created more opportunities for the current cybercrimes. Contemporary and important mitigation approaches for cyber-crimes have also been articulated in this paper. © 2017 IEEE.

- Description: Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) is one of the most recent research topics in the Internet of Things (IoT). The ever increasing number of vehicles in modern cities is creating heavy traffic congestion. To reduce the traffic congestion, a number of research have already been done to provide a clear pathway to the emergency vehicles in the urban area. However, they often fail to meet the target travel time of an emergency vehicle set by the Department of Treasury and Finances Budget and Financial Management Guidance (BFMG). To address this issue directly, an innovative ITS system considering the priorities of emergency vehicles based on the type of an incident and a method for detecting and responding to the hacking of traffic signals have been proposed in this paper. An experiment using a simulation software, namely Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) was conducted. The simulation results have exhibited superior performance of our proposed system over the currently operational and recently proposed ITS for emergency vehicles, in terms of both congestion avoidance and travel time. The response time attained by our scheme meets the target set by BFMG for both normal and hacked traffic signals. © 2016 IEEE.
