Secured Connected Vehicles for Intelligent Transportation

In recent years, heightened concerns regarding green technology and road safety have driven extensive research and development in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for automobiles. This initiative focuses on the implementation of automated vehicle platooning as a promising solution, specifically in investigating control algorithms for platooning behavior studies indoors. The proposed platoon structure involves n vehicles, each equipped with control algorithms for basic path control, longitudinal control, string stability, and platoon converging concepts. Utilizing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications over a wireless network, the vehicles engage in information exchange. Experimental evaluations will be conducted in a controlled laboratory environment using 1/10th scale prototype models, including a leader and follower vehicles, implementing PID controllers and sensor technologies. The primary goal is to develop robust security frameworks, leveraging state-of-the-art encryption, anomaly detection algorithms, and secure communication protocols to safeguard connected vehicles from cyber threats and ensure the integrity of critical communication systems in the transportation infrastructure.
