Detecting cyber attacks in vehicle networks using improved LSTM based optimization methodology C. Jayasri, V. Balaji, C. M. Nalayini, S. Pradeep Scientific Reports, 2025 The growing adoption of intelligent transportation systems and connected vehicle networks has raised significant cybersecurity concerns due to their vulnerability to cyberattacks such as spoofing, message tampering, and denial-of-service. Traditional intrusion detection systems struggle to cope with the dynamic and high-volume nature of vehicular data, often leading to high false positives and limited adaptability. To address this problem, this study proposes an enhanced deep learning-based optimization framework for detecting cyberattacks in vehicle networks. The methodology employs the UNSW-NB15 dataset, with data preprocessed using Maximum-Minimum Normalization. Feature extraction is performed using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), capturing frequency-domain patterns indicative of anomalies. Detection is executed through an Improved Long Short-Term Memory (ILSTM) model, whose parameters are optimized using the Crocodile Optimization Algorithm (COA), aiming to maximize classification accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ILSTM-COA model significantly outperforms existing techniques, achieving 98.9% accuracy and showing notable improvements across sensitivity, specificity, and other performance metrics. This model offers a robust, scalable, and real-time solution for safeguarding vehicular networks against evolving cyber threats.
An Efficient and Secured Data Transmission in Vanet Using LBK Interfaced AI-Optimized Routing Algorithm V Balaji, J. Afsal, K.K. Santhosh, C. Andreana 2024 International Conference on Recent Advances in Electrical Electronics Ubiquitous Communication and Computational Intelligence Raeeucci 2024, 2024 The vehicular network, which is supported by attacker-less authorization, is an assembly of automobiles and other components that may connect to a variety of sensors. Vehicle-to-vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) can broadcast Emergency Messages (EMs) ahead of time between cars, therefore mitigating traffic-related accidents. Current authentication techniques prioritize security or the lightweight feature. However, confidentiality throughout an authorization process is crucial. Furthermore, existing techniques suffer from the infrastructure-less situation since they rely on a trusted authority to verify the authenticity of a communication node. This paper uses the GWO-based ANFIS to propose a lightweight, secure, privacy-preserving, and less vulnerable to attacks authentication mechanism for VANETs. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) or Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is a kind of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Neural network and fuzzy logic concepts are combined by ANFIS, which may leverage both inside a single framework. The suggested approach, known as ANFIS- Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), is divided into two phases. Using the training set, GWO is employed in the first step to learn the ANFIS parameters. In the meantime, the performance of the suggested ANFIS-GWO approach is assessed using the testing set in the second stage. Furthermore, a thorough performance study using the current systems for authorization demonstrates that the suggested algorithm has lower compute, communication, and energy costs than the existing schemes. NS2 software is used to implement this project. ANFIS-GWO yielded an accuracy comparison of 91.5% and an energy consumption of 115J.
Advanced Day-Ahead Photovoltaic Power Prediction through RNN Modeling: Enhancing Forecast Accuracy for Improved Grid Stability S V Dharani Kumar, Thamizharasan R, S. Karthick, Deepak Arumugam, K. Buvaneswari, V. Balaji Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Communication and Electronics Systems Icces 2024, 2024 The day-ahead photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is very important in the management and integration of the PV systems into today's complex power systems especially given the increasing trend in the adoption of the renewable energy-based power systems. The efficiency of PV power output forecast not only improves the stability of the power grid, but also plays a significant role in energy scheduling and the pursuit of the net-zero emission goal. There are certain issues which vary from time to time in the case of solar energy and hence there are certain drawbacks attached with it, for instance predicting of power forecast is one of the major drawback of solar energy production. It has been found that existing approaches are problematic because they are either less accurate or not very adaptive, and also because they are complex to compute, and consequently less reliable, which impacts the potential of energy systems to operate efficiently. In response to these challenges, we introduce an RNN-based model for day-ahead PV power prediction in this paper. By OLS, the proposed model builds on the successful implementation of RNNs in modeling temporal characteristics and nonlinear trends of historical power data to improve the accuracy of the forecast. The RNN model is also capable of learning from other influencing factors since the dataset adopted in this paper embraces diverse and intricate parameters in the analysis of the solar irradiance and other environmental conditions. The results shown here indicate returns that clearly places the RNN-based model ahead of traditional approaches to forecasting as well as DL structures besides the four-fold validation of performances with high scores in MAE, MSE, and MAPE.

Energy-Efficient Optimization Using WSN Framework for Enhanced Smart Agriculture K. Malarkodi, V. Janakiraman, D. Sheela, Carmel Mary Belinda M J, V Balaji, R. Rajeswari Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Communication and Electronics Systems Icces 2024, 2024 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has revolutionized farming techniques, especially in the field of smart agriculture. This innovative approach enhances both the quantity and quality of crop yields while minimizing labor and resource input. By deploying WSNs across agricultural fields, farmers can automate various monitoring and management tasks, such as operating water pumps and valves. These networks consist of multiple relay sensors and agricultural field sensors that continuously monitor critical parameters like soil moisture, temperature, irrigation status, and pH levels. Each sensor is responsible for data collection, energy management, and ensuring reliable data delivery. Despite the advantages, WSNs face challenges such as high energy consumption, connectivity issues, and latency, all of which can adversely affect crop yields. This paper proposes an IoT-WSN framework designed to mitigate these issues and enhance the functionality of agricultural smart lands. In proposed system, sensors in the agricultural field first gather pertinent data and then select a group of cluster heads through a Multi-Standard Selection These cluster heads are vital for structuring the network and ensuring effective data gathering. Relay sensors are crucial for transmitting data securely from the field to a base station. To optimize this data relay process, utilize a Linear Integer Programming Method (LIPM). Our simulations and analytical results demonstrate that this framework effectively prolongs the lifespan of sensors while ensuring that data is transmitted accurately and promptly from agricultural fields to end users. This improvement not only enhances the efficiency of agricultural operations but also contributes to sustainable farming practices by optimizing resource usage and reducing manual intervention.
Energy Efficient Cluster Head Selection and Routing Algorithm using Hybrid Firefly Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization in WSN S. Bharathiraja, S. Selvamuthukumaran, V. Balaji Ksii Transactions on Internet and Information Systems, 2023 The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), is constructed out of teeny-tiny sensor nodes that are very low-cost, have a low impact on the environment in terms of the amount of power they consume, and are able to successfully transmit data to the base station.The primary challenges that are presented by WSN are those that are posed by the distance between nodes, the amount of energy that is consumed, and the delay in time.The sensor node's source of power supply is a battery, and this particular battery is not capable of being recharged.In this scenario, the amount of energy that is consumed rises in direct proportion to the distance that separates the nodes.Here, we present a Hybrid Firefly Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization (HF-GSO) guided routing strategy for preserving WSNs' low power footprint.An efficient fitness function based on firefly optimization is used to select the Cluster Head (CH) in this procedure.It aids in minimising power consumption and the occurrence of dead sensor nodes.After a cluster head (CH) has been chosen, the Glow-Worm Swarm Optimization (GSO) algorithm is used to figure out the best path for sending data to the sink node.Power consumption, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and network lifetime are just some of the metrics measured and compared between the proposed method and methods that are conceptually similar to those already in use.Simulation results showed that the proposed method significantly reduced energy consumption compared to the state-of-the-art methods, while simultaneously increasing the number of functioning sensor nodes by 2.4%.Proposed method produces superior outcomes compared to alternative optimization-based methods.

Recommendation learning system model for children with autism V. Balaji, S. Kanaga Suba Raja Intelligent Automation and Soft Computing, 2022 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a neurological developmental disorder. It affects how people communicate and interact with others, as well as how they behave and learn. The symptoms and signs appear when a child is very young. Derived with increased usage of machine learning procedure in the medicinal analysis investigations. In this paper, our objective is to find out the most significant attributes and automate the process using classification techniques and pattern clustering using K-means clustering. We have analyzed ASD datasets of children towards determining the best performance of classifier for these binary datasets considering recall, precision, accuracy and classification errors. For this purpose only we use classifier along with a training model with the deep learning technique. In this deep neural network the different types of patterns have been obtained, and then the entire autism dataset has been trained using this classification technique. After that, the group of patterns has been formed using K- means clustering technique. Then these grouped patterns have been sent to the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for obtaining the classification with enhanced accuracy, and after this, the regression process is done, then by this classified output, the recommendation learning system model is given for autism affected children. The need for recommendation for ASD is due to slow functioning of the brain and change in personal characteristic of the affected children, so it is necessary for recommendation learning model in ASD.
