Justification of an Integrated Approach to Ensuring Information Security of Unmanned Vehicles in Intelligent Transport Systems

Abstract

The economic and social infrastructure of countries is improving under the growing influence of digital transformation, within which unmanned transportation technologies are being developed. The increased risks involve the driverless vehicle control and interaction mechanism, which determines the significance of information security analysis and support in the automated traffic environment. The technical aspect is considered in terms of a conceptual approach to identifying a comprehensive threat model for evaluating the security of information communications on the “driverless vehicle–road infrastructure” technological platform. The organizational aspect embraces the requirements and objectives related to the designing of test sites that should address a range of problems that are concerned with the information security of automated vehicles. The legal aspect is seen from the perspective of building a national certification system for driverless cars and active elements of road infrastructure. This promising research area includes work in the field of technical solutions, technological standards, and organizational guidelines to ensure the information security of automated transport.
