“…This results in a wide range of cyber attacks on the platoons such as false data injection (FDI), 13 Denial-of-Service (DoS) 14 or Sybil attacks, 7 to name a few. A little tampering with the information in the beacon can lead to significant disruption to platooning vehicles, 15 which often travel at high speeds with minimal inter-vehicle distance. 2 FDI attacks are high-risk attacks in vehicular platoons as the member vehicles rely highly on the beacons to maintain their positions in autonomous mode.…”

“…A slight change in one beacon component can destabilize the whole platoon. 5,15,16 To avoid the risk of collision, platooning vehicles may disband as the situation is considered unsafe and therefore lose all benefits from platooning for both platooning and non-platooning vehicles. 5,15 Current methods of securing platoons from FDI attacks from non-member vehicles heavily rely on public and private key infrastructure.…”

Vehicle platoons are a novel transportation technology which not only aims to ensure traffic safety but also create a positive impact on the environment by producing low CO emissions. Vehicle platoons rely heavily on wireless communication to ensure that vehicles (leader and members) moving at high speed can keep close formation by exchanging beacons containing significant, authentic and accurate information. However, the presence of malicious attackers launching different attacks such as false data injection (FDI) can compromise the security of vehicle platoons by tampering with the beacons. Therefore, to avoid FDI attacks, we relied on multi‐criteria decision methods (MCDM)‐based methods in order to select the optimum beacon to share authentic and accurate information with the member vehicles. In this study, three MCDM methods including weighted sum model, technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution and preference ranking organization method for enrichment of evaluations (PROMETHEE‐II) are studied and compared with the aim to enable the platoons to select the optimum beacon for communication. We performed extensive simulations to evaluate the performance of these methods in the presence of three FDI attacker models from four different aspects, that is, safety, stability, environmental, and cyber security. Our results demonstrate that MCDM‐based methods can increase network efficiency, but at the cost of a trade‐off between safety and cyber security.

“…In Kwon et al, 24 three kinds of stealthy FDIAs were studied based on the ability of attackers. In Taylor et al, 25 Taylor et al studied the impact of FDIAs on the vehicular platoon that a hacker can inject false messages leading to a breakup of the vehicular system. Under limited sensor information, an AC state estimation (AC-SE) based coordinated cyber-physical attack was designed in Jena et al 26 In a sum, the above works in Kwon et al, 24 Taylor et al, 25 and Jena et al 26 have shown that the spoofing feature of FDIAs brings enormous challenge to the existing detection methods.…”

This paper aims at developing a novel detection and identification method against malicious attacks in intelligent transportation. Due to the development and applications of communication and advanced sensor technologies, intelligent transportation has faced new safety risks. In particular, the emerging malicious attacks, such as false data injection attack, can mask the destruction of physical dynamic by tampering with information in layer to fool the current detection methods. Because of this reason, an adaptive unknown input observer-based detection and identification method is developed. Firstly, a physical dynamics model of vehicle networking system is established by considering the actual physical state. Considering the spoofing characteristics of false data injection attack, an unknown input observer-based detection method is proposed. Through the design of adaptive unknown input observer parameters, the detection performance, can be improved by cutting down the state estimation error. Compared with the UIO-based detection method, simulations demonstrate that the false positive rate can be reduced 0.1%. Based on the feature of state residuals that is not sensitive to the attacked ith residual, but sensitive to other residuals, a novel identification criterion is developed. At last, simulation experiments on the Matlab verify the performance of the proposed detection and identification algorithm in intelligent transportation system.

“…Apart from saving fuel, by reducing fuel consumption, the vehicle will also see a reduction in CO 2 output and other greenhouse gasses [ 36 ]. This is important as there is a collective push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by businesses, consumers, and governments.…”

The emerging technology that is vehicular platooning is an exciting technology. It promises to save space on congested roadways, improve safety and utilise less fuel for transporting goods, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The technology has already been shown to be vulnerable to attack and exploitation by attackers. Attackers have several attack surfaces available for exploitation to achieve their goals (either personal or financial). The goal of this paper and its contribution to the area of research is to present the attacks and defence mechanisms for vehicular platoons and put risks of existing identified attacks forwards. Here the variety of attacks that have been identified in the literature are presented and how they compromise the wireless communications of vehicle platoons. As part of this, a risk assessment is presented to assess the risk factor of the attacks. Finally, this paper presents the range of defence and countermeasures to vehicle platooning attacks and how they protect the safe operations of vehicular platoons.
