ENCODE - Ensuring cybersecure deployments of driverless teleoperated vehicles

**ENCODE-确保无人驾驶遥控车辆的网络安全部署**ENCODE是一个合作的工业研究项目，由互联和自动化车辆(CAV)开发商StreetDrone领导，旨在缩短货物运输中互联和自动化车辆技术的上市时间。该项目的核心是使用“多人驾驶”车辆，以及配套的安全保障，以使StreetDrone和英国成为货运供应链自动化领域的第一个市场。“多人驾驶”车辆是一种可以通过车载操作员、远程操作员或自动驾驶堆栈(ADS)驾驶的车辆。人员和货物自动移动的广泛部署的一个重大障碍是达到处理目标环境中所有可能场景所需的技术成熟度。CAV在自主模式下可以响应的场景范围称为运营设计域(ODD)。如果这种奇怪的情况与特定环境(例如繁忙的郊区进行最后一英里送货)的预期条件不匹配，因为技术还不够成熟，而且无法证明安全理由是合理的，那么如果没有安全司机在现场，车辆就不能大规模部署。因此，在目前的技术水平下，“5级”部署(根据公认的SAE级别)是不可能的。ENCODE项目将通过检查“远程操作”的安全和可靠集成来缓解这个问题，“远程操作”是指远程操作员在情况认为必要时协助CAV的能力。在这里，安全和安全的远程操作允许远程操作员为多辆车提供服务，实现了明显的商业机会，比传统的1：1车辆与司机比率节省了成本。ENCODE将调查与多司机系统相关的网络安全风险，并实施包括安全连接在内的措施，以促进此类系统的安全部署。项目工作将涉及与DFT和CCAV等关键利益攸关方的接触，以验证和进一步实施最佳实践，并将在两个地点对多司机车辆进行现场试验，以展示项目成果。ENCODE将由英国领先的CAV开发商StreetDrone(Preston EV Ltd)提供，该开发商专注于自动化的低速应用，包括第一英里/最后一英里的交付；TRL，安全专家和智能移动Living Lab试验台背后的关键团队；考文垂大学网络安全专家；Angoka Ltd，一家提供受保护通信的初创企业；牛津郡议会，地方当局中采用CAV技术的领先创新者。

**ENCODE - Ensuring cybersecure deployments of driverless teleoperated vehicle**ENCODE is a collaborative industrial research project, led by Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) developer StreetDrone, that aims to reduce time to market for connected and automated vehicle technology in the movement of goods. The project centres on the use of "multi-driver" vehicles, and accompanying security and safety assurance, to enable StreetDrone and the UK to be first to market in the automation of the freight supply chain. A "multi-driver" vehicle is one which can be driven via in-vehicle operator, remote operator, or autonomous driving stack (ADS).A significant barrier to the widespread deployment of autonomous mobility of people and goods, is achieving the level of technical maturity required to deal with all possible scenarios in the target environments. The range of scenarios to which a CAV can respond under autonomous mode is known as an Operational Design Domain (ODD). If this ODD does not match with the conditions expected in a particular environment (e.g. a busy sub-urban neighbourhood for last-mile deliveries), as the technology is not sufficiently mature, and a safety case cannot be justified, then a vehicle cannot be scalably deployed without safety drivers in situ. "Level 5" deployments (as per the recognised SAE levels) are not therefore possible with current state of the art.Project ENCODE will alleviate this problem, by examining the safe and secure integration of "teleoperation", the ability for a remote operator to assist a CAV when the situation deems it necessary. Safe and secure teleoperation here allows a remote operator to service multiple vehicles, realising a clear commercial opportunity in cost saving over traditional 1:1 vehicle-driver ratios.ENCODE will investigate the cybersecurity risks associated with multi-driver systems, and implement measures, including secure connectivity, to facilitate safe deployment of such systems. Project work will involve engagement with key stakeholders such as DfT and CCAV, to validate and further best practices, and will culminate in a live trial of multi-driver vehicles in two locations to showcase project outcomes.ENCODE will be delivered by StreetDrone (Preston EV Ltd), a leading UK CAV developer, focused on low speed applications of automation including first-/last-mile deliveries; TRL, safety specialists and key team behind Smart Mobility Living Lab testbed; Coventry University cybersecurity experts; Angoka Ltd, a start-up providing protected communications and Oxfordshire County Council, a leading innovator among local authorities in the adoption of CAV technology.
