A system and method is provided that facilitates cyber-physical security. The system may comprise a controller including at least one first processor; a monitor system including at least one second processor; and a plurality of sensors configured to capture a plurality of measurements associated with at least one hardware component. The sensors may include both: at least one controller sensor that communicates with the controller; and at least one side-channel sensor that communicates with the monitor system and not with the at least one controller. The first processor of the controller may be configured to cause the controller to control the hardware component based at least in part on measurements from the controller sensor. The second processor of the monitor system may be configured to: receive the measurements from the sensors; determine whether the measurements are indicative of a possible cyberattack on the at least one hardware component; and generate at least one notification indicating a possible cyberattack based on the determination that the measurements are indicative of a possible cyberattack.

System and method for cyber-physical security

A system and method is provided that facilitates passive building information discovery. The system may include a processor configured to track positions in a building of portable devices over time and based thereon determine characteristics of the building including locations in the building where at least some of the portable device are unauthorized, based on communications received from radio-frequency (RF) sensors mounted in spaced-apart relation across the building. Such communications may include information detected by the RF sensors from RF signals from the portable devices that uniquely identify each portable device. The processor may be configured to determine when at least one of the portable devices is detected via a communication from at least one of the RF sensors at a determined unauthorized location in the building, and responsive thereto provide at least one notification that indicates that the at least one portable device was detected at the unauthorized location.

System and method for passive building information discovery

Embodiments include a method for adjusting a signal control plan for a traffic signal at an intersection based on local environmental conditions is provided. The method includes operating the traffic signal based on a standard signal control plan, receiving an indication of an adverse environmental condition, and determining if the standard signal control plan should be adjusted based on the indication of the adverse environmental condition. Based on determining that the standard signal control plan should be adjusted based on the indication of the adverse environmental condition, the method includes creating a modified signal control plan based on the adverse environmental condition and the standard signal control plan and operating the traffic signal based on the modified signal control plan.

Adjustment of a traffic signal control plan based on local environmental conditions

Embodiments include a method for providing a red light violator warning. The method includes detecting that a first vehicle is about to violate a red light at an intersection. Based on detecting that the first vehicle is about to violate the red light at the intersection, the method includes broadcasting a warning message to all connected vehicles in proximity of the intersection of a pending red light violation and determining if the first vehicle is a connected vehicle. Based on determining that the first vehicle is a connected vehicle, the method further includes transmitting a notification message to the first vehicle warning of a pending red light violation.

Red light violator warning

A cabinet for a fire extinguisher located in a building. The cabinet includes a housing having a door and a dome light located in an interior of the housing. The cabinet also includes an exterior light located on the door and a status light for indicating whether the cabinet is operating properly as a notification device. A fire safety system is also provided, wherein the fire safety system includes detectors for detecting an unsafe condition in the building and notification devices for providing notification of the unsafe condition. When an unsafe condition is detected, the interior and exterior lights are turned on to provide notification of the unsafe condition.
