Project 4.03: Towards Quantitative Cybersecurity Risk Assessment in Transportation Infrastructure
Towards Quantitative Cybersecurity Risk Assessment in Transportation Infrastructure
Project 4.03
Project Summary
This research project aims to design a systematic and quantitative framework to explore the connectivity and security issues in representative transportation infrastructures, including low-power wireless network infrastructure mainly for long-term structural monitoring, and vehicle-to- everything (V2X) communication infrastructure for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure message passing.

Implementation of Research Outcomes:
The research outcomes are implemented on a real-time wireless network simulator as well as a multi-hop real-time wireless network testbed for functional validation and performance evaluation. The developed wireless devices are also integrated into a wireless bridge joint monitoring system for long-term bridge structure monitoring.
Impacts and Benefits of Implementation:
The implementation of the proposed methodologies enables the research team to validate the functions and evaluate their performance on real hardware and in real scenarios. This pave the way for the proposed methods to be deployed in real systems in transportation industries.
