Security and Survivability of Real-Time Communication Architecture for Connected-Vehicle Eco-Traffic Signal System Applications

Transportation Systems, and thus Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), are considered one of the most critical infrastructures. For wireless communication ITS use communication links based on Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) in Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) systems. Due to the nature of wireless communication, the connected vehicle real-time communication and control infrastructure is exposed to the entire spectrum of threats to security and survivability from cyberspace all the way to direct physical manipulations. For the infrastructure to be trusted one has to consider external manipulations that could render DSRC safety applications useless. This research therefore investigates the impact of malicious acts, in particular jamming, on the reliability and survivability of such applications.
