Examining and Enhancing Vehicle Spoofing Detection Capabilities in CAV Applications Using BSM Information

This project addresses the rising incidence of GNSS spoofing attacks by enhancing detection capabilities in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). The focus is on leveraging information shared by surrounding vehicles and signals of opportunity to identify jamming and spoofing threats during vehicle-to-vehicle maneuvers. Conducted in collaboration with the CARNATIONS team at Illinois Tech and StarNav, the project explores detection strategies using real-world spoofing data and onboard sensors such as LiDAR and cameras. The research is divided into two tasks: (1) detecting GNSS meaconing, which involves analyzing the impact of signal retransmission delays on non-target vehicles and identifying key detection information, such as timing and signal direction, and (2) detecting targeted GNSS spoofing attacks, particularly in scenarios where the lead vehicle of a platoon is compromised, focusing on the detection and mitigation of manipulated satellite data. The team will develop a layered defense strategy, implementing detection systems through hardware-in-the-loop simulations and real-world testing to explore vehicle re-localization during attacks. This research aligns with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s priority of enhancing transportation system safety and resilience by countering GNSS spoofing threats in CAV applications, particularly in highway platooning.
