Investigating Driver Behavior Under Cyber-attacks in Connected Vehicle Environments

The proposed research focuses on investigating driver behavior under cyber-attacks in connected vehicle (CV) environments. Using a controlled testbed with driving simulators at Morgan State University and Clemson University, this project will simulate cyber-attacks such as falsified vehicle-to-everything (V2X) information and evaluate drivers' behavioral and psychological responses. The findings aim to bridge the gap in understanding human factors in cybersecurity for CV systems, with implications for enhancing road safety and advancing resilient vehicle technologies.
