IoT-Based Urban Security Models

The era of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and IoT gives rise to the necessity of multi-proficiency in software, hardware, and the Cyber-Physical Space (CPSp) wherein the IoT components are deployed. Focusing on software engineering aspects, this research proposes a model-driven engineering approach to engineer CPS and model pedestrians flow. To this end, design-time decisions and run-time data ought to be fused to improve the efficiency of crowd monitoring and emergency handling. Moreover, the research aims at building some mathematical models applicable as the core of the system controller to facilitate optimum route selection, crowd movement prediction, and hazard diffusion detection; while considers the architectural characteristics of the complex area to be evacuated.
