Security and safety have been a critical issue in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Security of both people and vehicles is a matter of concern. In this paper, an authentication-based security framework is designed to serve the purpose. Only authorized users are provided access to the vehicle. The drivers are first registered for driving the vehicle from an authorized and valid source. The next step is the authentication check before one can be given access to the vehicle. There are two alternative methods provided for the authentication check in the solution depending upon the situation the vehicle is in. The solution is an optimally viable solution from the security perspective of the real-time Intelligent Transportation System environment. The results have shown that the security solution fits into the domain very well and performs as per expectations. The solution has been tested on a Vehicle Tracking Device connected to a vehicle. The same solution can be extended to a fleet of vehicles.

Intelligent Transportation System is a field which is daily paving way for new technologies. Communication in vehicular devices has paved way for security breaches. Vehicle-to-everything connects each and every device to our vehicle just like Internet of Things connects everything to the internet. Everything which is connected to the internet, is prone to security attack. It is very difficult to track the source of the information. Authentication is a big issue and has to be solved. This paper has provided a cognitive approach to address this problem effectively in ITS. A softSIM- similar to the hardware SIM has been proposed. An architecture of the softSIM is designed. A novel algorithm for authenticating the on-board softSIM with the operator has been developed. The performance analysis of softSIM is compared with regular device users. The paper also incorporates future scope as well as business case of the study. The soft SIM will be part of on-board unit and shall come programmed from manufacturer side. This has provided cost effective solution and saved the space that was needed for the hardware SIM.

Green corridor is a dynamic real-time lane created in order to increase the speed at which an emergency vehicle can travel in traffic. Its purpose is to reduce the travel time of emergency vehicles. The paper submitted examines ways to optimize the travel time for emergency vehicles and for other drivers on the roads. The paper takes into account the fact that all vehicles accelerate and decelerate at different speeds and the fact that there might be several traffic guided lights and non-guided lights on the roads. There are other factors considered, such as the speed and safety, in order to create a sustainable solution that can be implemented at scale. SUMO simulation libraries are used to create an environment as close to reality as possible. The trade-off between the number of variables selected and the approximation of a real situation has been carefully selected so that the solution is also feasible in real-life situations.
