Cybersecurity Analysis and Guidance to Support Secure Transportation Cyber-Physical Systems

The overarching goal of the continued work on this project is to put what the research team has learned in their first year of research with respect to the legislative schematic of the U.S. in context with the international scope of cybersecurity policy. Specifically, the objectives of this project are to evaluate United States cybersecurity transportation law and policy compared to existing international models to support continued domestic regulatory development and update the policy toolkit (including large language model (LLM) and guidance report) with insights from an expanded legislative corpus, visualized data, extended industry feedback and training, to provide a comparative analysis model of transportation cybersecurity research (identifying how the U.S. can improve its policy based on industry and international input).
