Conceptual Model for Connected Vehicles Safety and Security using Big Data Analytics

Abstract

The capability of Connected Vehicles (CVs) connecting to a nearby vehicle, surrounding infrastructure and cyberspace presents a high risk in the aspect of safety and security of the CV and others. Data volume generated from the sensors and infrastructure in CVs environment are enormous. Thus, CVs implementations require a real-time big data processing and analytics to detect any anomaly in the CVs’s environment which are physical layer, network layer and application layer. CVs are exposed to various vulnerabilities associated with exploitations or malfunctions of the components in each layer that could result in various safety and security event such as congestion and collision. The safety and security risks added an extra layer of required protection for the CVs implementation that need to be studied and refined. To address this gap, this research aims to determine the basic components of safety and security for CVs implementation and propose a conceptual model for safety and security in CVs by applying the machine learning and deep learning techniques. The proposed model is highly correlated to safety and security and could be applied in congestion and collision prediction.
