ADITESS’ approach to Security involves addressing three different facets separately, but also in conjunction with each other. These facets are: Operations, Systems, and People. All three facets are equally important.

Since people conduct security, not systems, it is important to ensure that the right procedures are in place, with the right people, and the right training. In fact “operations”, “systems” and “people” must be inter-compatible and synchronized in order to produce real-life, practical and measurable results.


2. R&D ACTIVITIES

ADITESS LTD is a scientific, consulting and research company, whose purpose is to conduct

theoretical and applied research and to produce studies, in strategic and tactical levels. It covers

issues concerning security policies, aftermath on crisis events, emergency management

situations, critical infrastructure protection, transportation security and border management

(monitoring and surveillance), state-of-the-art modeling solutions and monitoring equipment for

border security. ADITESS LTD has the ability to provide advisory and consulting services in the

broader area of Security, Safety and Protection, and to issue after-action reports and

lessons learned to various Government Organizations and other Public and Private authorities.

ADITESS, among other activities, is also offering comprehensive services for the organization

and coordination of EC FP7, the Horizon 2020 or various National R&D proposals and research

projects in the field of Security, ICT, Aeronautics (UAVs), Communications, Transportation and

Environment. ADITESS has developed an expertise in projects related to the referenced fields.

Ever since the company has strategically positioned itself between the academia, SME’ and the

government, benefiting from research and training most importantly. ADITESS forms

sustainable collaborations and partnerships with a number of universities, private not-for-profit

research centers and laboratories.

Analyses of some of the R&D activities and products that ADITESS has explored from 2011 till

Video Quality Assessment Methods

Adaptive transmission protocols for video streaming applications

Security Algorithms

Cross Layer Design

2.6 Network Simulations

Simulation has always been a valuable tool for experimentation and validation of models,

architectures and mechanisms in the field of networking. In order to study and validate new

wired and wireless architectures, protocols and services in ADITESS we use the Network

Simulator ns-2 and ns-3, which are highly accepted by the research community.

The Network Simulator (NS) is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. NS

provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, multicast protocols over wired and

wireless (local and satellite) networks, and Ad Hoc networking. ADITESS researchers using NS

are able to design new solutions, test their functionality and performance and compare them

with other existing solutions. NS simplifies the test and evaluation procedure in a controlled

Efficient traffic management becomes more and more essential nowadays, as traffic congestion

becomes one of the thorniest problems of today’s society. In this direction, statistical,

econometric and computational intelligence methods have been developed in order to forecast

traffic status in a short time horizon. In addition, operational research, which is the application of

advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions, assists many times in real-time

traffic management when decisions have to be taken quickly.

Our Research

Applications to short-term traffic forecasting

Applications in Large Scale Optimization Problem Formulation and Solving with

additional particular focus on Emergency Response

Applications in Freeway Operations Optimization and Management under typical or

atypical conditions.


2.8.2 Vehicle and pedestrian tracking and microscopic modeling

For the better embedding of complexity of the traffic flow laws, many microscopic models have been developed to detect and simulate the behavior of vehicles and pedestrians. Microscopic traffic flow models simulate every single vehicle-driver and pedestrian unit, so the dynamic variables of the models represent microscopic properties like their position and velocity. These days, many microscopic models include decision-making rules achieving high accuracy in predicting the user’s decision in route choice, choice of public transportation, etc.

2.8.4 Asset management and Feasibility and Benefit Cost Analyses

One of the most necessary steps that should take place in every transportation project is the cost-benefit analysis. Through this process, the analyst manages to calculate and compare the costs and benefits of a project, a policy or a decision. It aims to justify whether an investment is worthwhile or not (feasibility analysis) and offers an assessed framework to compare the candidate projects.

In 2015 ADITESS lunch the VMCMS-GE system. The VMCMS-GE is a content management

system for the efficient management, archiving, fast-indexing and processing of multimedia

content through a modular architecture. The VMCMS-GE has been designed by ADITESS as a

result of our holistic strategy considering the key aspects of functional and creative design while

also servicing the needs for scalability by exploiting the cloud characteristics. The platform is

designed to fit the needs of a wide range of users through secure, yet, easy to deploy interfaces

and a user-friendly graphical environment. VMCMS-GE is characterized for its highly scalable,

flexible and customizable design which minimize deployment times.

The efficient management of data is accomplished with the use of user-defined metadata tags

whose addition and removal is an easy task while the high customization of the platform allows

integration with any cloud solution. Most importantly and having identified the need for security

and data protection, the platform supports data encryption, secure communication channels and

permission types.

The implementation of custom user privileges is also possible; in cases where the pre-defined

classes do not fully fulfill the requirements.


VMCMS-GE may serve as a solution in many applications and different domains, due to this,

contains built in mechanisms that allow the designation of application-specific queries that may

combine external as well as internal information. The platform is also capable of efficiently

managing heterogeneous multimedia content and processing through pre-installed analytics

modules. The processing module supports several existing containers and formats for

multimedia while additional modules may be added through the analytics repository module.
