Resilient V2X Communication for Cooperative and Remote Driving

This project focuses on developing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing detection and mitigation system for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) by leveraging information shared between vehicles and other signals of opportunity. The main goal is to detect jamming and spoofing attacks, particularly in vehicle-to-vehicle scenarios where cooperative operations are targeted. In collaboration with Illinois Tech's CARNATIONS team and StarNav, the project will utilize real-world data and onboard sensors such as LiDAR and cameras to enhance detection capabilities. The research is structured into two tasks: (1) detecting GNSS meaconing, where attackers retransmit GNSS signals with a delay, misleading vehicles about their position and timing, and (2) identifying and mitigating targeted GNSS spoofing attacks, where attackers aim to control the navigation system of a lead vehicle in a platoon. These tasks will involve analyzing the spoofing effects on non-target vehicles and determining key detection information, such as signal arrival time and direction. The detection system will be incrementally developed through hardware-in-the-loop simulations and real-world data analysis, exploring the potential for re-localization of affected vehicles during spoofing attacks. The project aligns with U.S. Department of Transportation priorities by enhancing transportation safety and resilience, particularly in highway platooning scenarios. The outcome will be a robust CAV application that remains resilient against GNSS spoofing threats.
