• Abstract: The extensive use of distributed vehicle platoon controllers has resulted in several benefits for transportation systems, such as increased traffic flow, fuel efficiency, and decreased pollution. The rising reliance on interconnected systems and communication networks, on the other hand, exposes these controllers to potential cyber-attacks, which may compromise their safety and functionality. This thesis aims to improve the security of distributed vehicle platoon controllers by investigating attack scenarios and assessing their influence on system performance. Various attack techniques, including man-in-the-middle (MITM) and false data injection (FDI), are simulated using Model Predictive Control (MPC) controller to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses of the platoon controller. Countermeasures are offered and tested, that includes attack analysis and reinforced communication protocols using Machine Learning techniques for detection. The findings emphasize the significance of integrating security issues into their design and implementation, which helps to construct safe and resilient distributed platoon controllers.

  In a connected transportation system, adaptive traffic signal controllers (ATSC) utilize real-time vehicle trajectory data received from vehicles to regulate green time. This wirelessly connected ATSC increases cyber-attack surfaces and increases their vulnerability to various cyber-attack modes. One such mode is a'sybil' attack in which an attacker creates fake vehicles in the network. An RL agent is trained to learn an optimal rate of sybil vehicle injection to create congestion for an approach(s)

Our objective is to find the specific set of information that should be shared among the vehicles for the construction of the most appropriate state space. More meritorious information is given higher priority in transmission, since including it in the state space has a higher probability in offsetting the negative effect of having higher state dimensions.
