Intelligent transportation system using secure vehicular communication

Intelligent Transportation System is a vision which offers safe, secure and smart travel experience to drivers. This futuristic strategy aims to enable vehicles, roadside transportation infrastructures, pedestrian smartphones and other devices to communicate with one another to provide safety and convenience services. Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communication in Intelligent Transportation System offers ability to exchange speed, heading angle, position and other environment related conditions amongst vehicles and with surrounding smart infrastructures. In this intelligent setup, vehicles and users communicate and exchange data with random untrusted entities (like vehicles, smart traffic lights or pedestrians) whom they don’t know or have met before. The concerns of location privacy and secure communication further deter the adoption of this smarter and safe transportation. In this a secure and trusted V2V and V2I communication approach using edge infrastructures where instead of direct peer to peer communication, it introduces a trusted cloudlet to authorize, check and verify the authenticity, integrity and ensure anonymity of messages exchanged in the system. Moving vehicles or road side infrastructure are dynamically connected to nearby cloudlets, where security policies can be implemented to sanitize or stop fake messages and prevent rogue vehicles to exchange messages with other vehicles.
