Autonomous Vehicle Technology and Safety

VANETs stands for vehicular ad hoc networks. In VANETs, alerts like post-crash notification (PCN), beacon messages, etc., (with sender id, position, speed and timestamp) are exchanged between vehicles in order to improve road safety so that the driver is previously alerted of the hazard or crash that she/he could face ahead. This technology has a great potential to reduce the number of accidents that are happening every year. If the driver is alerted few seconds before the accident about the hazard, then the accident could be prevented from happening. But, in VANETs, there is a possibility that due to selfish or malicious reasons, some attacker might send false alerts and falsified information in beacon leading to change in driver’s behavior and entire network. This could result in accidents in the network or long-distance travel of driver. Hence, it is very much necessary to detect the false messages that are communicated in vehicular network.
