Research projects

• Verification and recurrence of ***** vulnerability in the wireless communication system of China Urban Rail Transit
  Time: 2022.04 - 2023.05                 Role: Main Participant
  Abstract: A high-risk vulnerability (CNNVD-202204-3571) in the subway system is proposed by our preliminary theoretical research. Then a confidential project is established, and aims to build a pseudo base-station experimental platform for the recurrence of the man-in-the-middle attack against the LTE communication used in subway
• Cybersecurity threat analysis and prediction of high-speed railway signal system based on knowledge graph
  Time: 2021.04 - 2023.06                 Role: Main Participant
  Abstract: This project studies the application of cybersecurity knowledge graph in the high-speed railway signal system (cyber-physical system). The main contents include: 1) Threat modeling 2) Knowledge graph construction 3) Anomaly detection and attack prediction of railway signal system
• Design of LED traffic light brightness-adaptive system based on microcontroller
  Time: 2018.04 - 2019.05                 Role: Principal Investigator
  Abstract: The LED traffic lights currently used in various conditions are mostly of constant luminance, which are easy to be interfered by the environment. Therefore, this project aims to design the microcontroller based brightness-adaptive system of LED traffic lights
