Evaluating V2X Network Performance and Enhancing Safety and Security in Sensor Data Sharing for Connected and Automated Driving

This project will investigate the sensor data sharing mechanism with C-V2X and networked vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication technology in terms of safety, cybersecurity, and network performance with current bandwidth allocations. The research team will (1) develop a comprehensive evaluation framework of the V2X network performance (e.g., latency, throughput) under real – world complexities; (2) develop a data fusion model that fuses Sensor Data Sharing Messages (SDSMs) from multiple sources considering uncertainties in real-world V2X communication networks, errors in sensor-based object detection; and (3) develop a misbehavior detection model that can detect anomaly in SDSMs and evaluate the trustworthiness of the message within a short time.
