Project summary:
In this project, will take a multi-pronged framework to secure the CAV ecosystem by simultaneously considering cybersecurity threats posed to CAVs, transportation infrastructure, and cyber infrastructure that support CAV operations and leveraging intelligent collaborations between CAVs and physical/cyber transportation infrastructures. We will investigate how to exploit cooperative perception and advanced communication technologies a?? especially emerging 5G/Next-Generation (NextG) networking and computing capabilities and combine them with innovative artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms to secure the CAV ecosystem through a list of research tasks including developing a secure and robust perception system, investigating the security of cooperative driving and communication between CAVs and infrastructure, and designing a secured CAV system through redundancy.
