Connected Vehicle Assessment: Cybersecurity and Dependable Transportation: System Assurance, Operations and Reactive Defense for Next Generation Vehicles, Intelligent Highway Infrastructure, and Road User Services

There are approximately five billion "machine" devices connected to the internet, and it is estimated that the “internet of things” will reach nearly 50 billion online connected machines, sensors and appliances by 2020. Likely more than a billion connected M2M (machine-to-machine) devices will be in highway transportation, of which more than half will be road vehicles. Securing M2M applications, and preventing mischief and mischance, will be major tasks for the transportation sector. The connectivity of billions of new vehicle- or infrastructure-based sensors and "big data" analytics promises to bring new insights into how transportation assets are currently utilized, and how safety and mobility outcomes might be improved. However, there are concerns about the security of these devices and the potential for compromise and misuse. This report is an overview of global innovations in risk management and development of safe, dependable and secure systems. Cyber security is about meeting critical assurance requirements - maintaining transportation systems that ensure the preservation of human safety, the environment, critical economic infrastructure, and the viability of commerce and maintenance of personal privacy. This report reviews trends in securing enterprise systems and networks, as well as the unique challenges presented by connectivity of safety-critical control systems, such as those found in vehicles and in highway Advanced Traffic Management Systems.
