| 11:10 – 12:10 PM | Research Cluster #2: Cybersecurity$ Detection of Stealthy Cyberattacks on CAVs through Traffic Anomaly Detection: Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) introduce the potential for safer and more efficient traffic flow. However, they also introduce the potential for malicious actors to compromise CAV driving behavior, potentially leading to wide-scale disruption. While some attacks to CAVs that lead to collisions are conspicuous, subtle attacks that slightly modify driving behaviors can cause widespread impacts, including increased congestion, fuel consumption, and crash risks while remaining difficult to detect. In this talk, I discuss recent work on using traffic anomaly detection to identify such attacks and examine the consequences of these attacks on both singular vehicle dynamics and broader traffic flow patterns.
