• Abstract:
  Automated vehicles promote road safety, fuel efficiency, and reduced travel time by decreasing traffic ; congestion and driver workload. In a vehicle platoon (grouping vehicles to increase road capacity by ; managing distance between vehicles using electrical and mechanical coupling) of such automated ; vehicles, as in automated highway systems (AHS), tracking of inter-vehicular spacing is one of the ; significant factors under consideration. Because of close spacing, computer-controlled platoons with ; inter-vehicular communication—the concept of adaptive cruise control (ACC)—become open to ; cybersecurity attacks. ; Cyber physical (CP) and cyber attacks on smart grid electrical systems have been a significant focus of ; researchers. However, CP attacks on autonomous vehicle platoons have not been examined. This ; research surveys a number of models of longitudinal vehicle motion and analysis of a special class of CP ; attacks called false data injection (FDI) on vehicle platoons. In this kind of attack, the configuration of ; any CP system is exploited to introduce arbitrary errors to gain control over the system. Here, an n-vehicle platoon is considered and a linearized vehicle model is used as a test-bed to study vehicle ; dynamics and control, after false information is fed into the system.
