Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid advancement of technology in the field of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and autonomous connected vehicles (ACV) has brought about numerous benefits, including enhanced transportation efficiency, improved safety, and increased convenience. However, these advancements have also raised significant concerns regarding security and privacy issues, as they can pose life-threatening risks.

The Internet of Vehicles heavily relies on open wireless channels for message transmission, making it more vulnerable to network attacks compared to the traditional Internet. Common threats include counterfeiting, tampering, man-in-the-middle attacks, and Sybil attacks. Additionally, the presence of software and hardware vulnerabilities in vehicles creates potential entry points for cybercriminals, introducing risks such as extortion, malicious manipulation of vehicles, and data leakage.

This special issue aims to explore the latest advancements and challenges in the area of privacy and security for the Internet of Vehicles and Autonomous Connected Vehicles. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to contribute original research articles, case studies, and review articles addressing various aspects of privacy and security in the IoV and ACV domains.

The autonomous lane change maneuver is a critical component in the advancement of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). To enhance safety and efficiency in dynamic traffic environments, this study introduces a novel autonomous lane change strategy leveraging a quintic polynomial function. To optimize the trajectory, we formulate an objective function that balances the time required for lane changes with the peak acceleration experienced during the maneuver. The proposed method addresses key challenges such as driver discomfort and prolonged lane change durations by considering the entire lane change process rather than just the initiation point. Utilizing a fifth-order polynomial for trajectory planning, the strategy ensures smooth and continuous vehicle movement, reducing the risk of collisions. The effectiveness of the method is validated through comprehensive simulations and real-world vehicle tests, demonstrating significant improvements in lane change performance. Despite its advantages, the model requires further refinement to address limitations in mixed traffic conditions. This research provides a foundation for developing intelligent vehicle systems that prioritize safety and adaptability. Full article

The modern Internet of Autonomous Vehicles (IoVs) has enabled the development of autonomous vehicles that can interact with each other and their surroundings, facilitating real-time data exchange and communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and the external environment. The lack of security procedures in vehicular networks and Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol leaves vehicles exposed to intrusions. One common attack type is the message injection attack, which inserts fake messages into original Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to trick them or create failures. Therefore, this paper tackles the pressing issue of cyber-attack detection in modern IoV systems, where the increasing connectivity of vehicles to the external world and each other creates a vast attack surface. The vulnerability of in-vehicle networks, particularly the CAN protocol, makes them susceptible to attacks such as message injection, which can have severe consequences. To address this, we propose an intelligent Intrusion detection system (IDS) to detect a wide range of threats utilizing machine learning techniques. However, a significant challenge lies in the inherent imbalance of car-hacking datasets, which can lead to misclassification of attack types. To overcome this, we employ various imbalanced pre-processing techniques, including NearMiss, Random over-sampling (ROS), and TomLinks, to pre-process and handle imbalanced data. Then, various Machine Learning (ML) techniques, including Logistic Regression (LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Naive Bayes (NB), and K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), are employed in detecting and predicting attack types on balanced data. We evaluate the performance and efficacy of these techniques using a comprehensive set of evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, F1_Score, and recall. This demonstrates how well the suggested IDS detects cyberattacks in external and intra-vehicle vehicular networks using unbalanced data on vehicle hacking. Using k-NN with various resampling techniques, the results show that the proposed system achieves 100% detection rates in testing on the Car-Hacking dataset in comparison with existing work, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach in protecting modern vehicle systems from advanced threats.

Secure communication between connected electric vehicles is critical for realizing the full potential of the Internet of Vehicles. However, the authentication and security of the information shared between vehicles remains a major challenge. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based data authentication algorithm to enable secure information sharing between electric vehicles. Our algorithm leverages the distributed ledger and consensus mechanism of blockchain technology to overcome limitations of traditional public key infrastructure schemes for large-scale vehicle networks. Each electric vehicle has a unique key pair and address on the blockchain network. Vehicles generate digital signatures using their private keys to share data, while recipients verify the signatures using corresponding public keys for authentication. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves high authentication success rates with acceptable latency and computation overhead. The algorithm provides benefits like decentralization, transparency and non-repudiation compared to existing approaches. Our work indicates the potential of blockchain to enhance security, trust and cooperation in Internet of Vehicles applications. Full article
