Abstract:

In a world of automated mobility, innovative but legally unprecedented technological advances are creating a host of policy issues for legislative and regulatory bodies. Although the need for regulatory and enforcement measures is dire, there is no singular federal law or federal regulatory framework that governs cybersecurity or data privacy focusing on transportation in the United States. The overarching goal of this project is to perform a nationwide survey of existing federal and state cybersecurity and privacy regulatory measures and analyze that legislative landscape in light of identified risks and threats to the transportation industry. The project attempts to answer: (i) what federal and/or state agencies are responsible for governing cybersecurity practices in the U.S., including risk assessment, preventative measures, detection of breaches, and remedial enforcement; and (ii) how do industry experts assess the greatest risks/threats to ensuring cybersecurity in the transportation sector? Key contributions include developing a novel prompt-based LLM model and a domain-specific question-answering system that will ensure the security of various systems in the transportation domain. The results of the above-discussed review and analysis could be used to construct a comprehensive transportation cybersecurity policy guidance document and/or toolkit.
