Framework, Design and Simulation of a Cyber-Physical System for Public Security Applications

Abstract:

Cyber-physical system (CPS) is a multiple system where physical world operations are monitored and controlled by communication and computing components. This paper focuses on the framework, design and simulation of a CPS for public security applications. A framework of the CPS is presented, and its compositions are analyzed in detail. To meet the requirements of cyber-physical control, the design features of environment perception and communication are investigated. An improved task allocation method and a hybrid approach for path planning are introduced for robots coordination and optimization. Finally, the CPS is demonstrated with a case study in a public security scenario, where robots equipped with sensors cooperate with each other to extinguish fires arising due to a disaster. The simulation experiments are conducted to show the feasibility of such system.
