Road safety and efficiency are major concerns worldwide. Therefore, it is crucial to explore new techniques to improve road safety and efficiency. The proposed research program aims to investigate the applicability of emerging vehicular communication networks, also known as vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), as a promising approach to increasing road safety and efficiency. In VANETs, vehicles are equipped with wireless communication, positioning and computation devices with a variety of vehicle applications enabled by communication between vehicles such as emergency braking warning. Unfortunately, VANETs have faced various security threats and privacy concerns which would jeopardize public safety and become the main barrier to the acceptance of such a new technology. As a result, security is crucial to success of VANETs, and so is thereby a prerequisite for market-ready VANETs. In the past, insufficient attention has been paid to this area of research, in particular security in vehicular delay tolerant networks (DTNs), where end-to-end network connectivity between vehicles is not available. Traditional approaches may not be suitable in such a vehicular DTN due to its unique characteristics, such as intermittent connectivity due to high-speed mobility of the network node (or vehicle), resource scarcity, and the extremely large amount of network nodes. The proposed research is envisioned to solve the security and privacy issues in vehicular DTNs, which have not been taken into consideration in previously reported studies. It is expected that this research program will contribute to the discovering of new ideas and the development of innovative automotive products and services. As a result, new business models and revenue streams can be devised to foster growth and promote the troubled automobile industry in Canada. The research will also lead to HQP training in information security and vehicular communication techniques, which will greatly contribute to the Canadian communication, automobile and information security industries.

道路安全和效率是全世界关注的主要问题。因此，探索新技术来提高道路安全和效率至关重要。拟议的研究计划旨在调查新兴车辆通信网络（也称为车辆自组织网络（VANET））的适用性，作为提高道路安全和效率的有前途的方法。在车载自组网中，车辆配备无线通信、定位和计算设备，通过车辆之间的通信实现各种车辆应用，例如紧急制动警告。不幸的是，车载自组织网络面临着各种安全威胁和隐私问题，这会危及公共安全，并成为接受这种新技术的主要障碍。因此，安全性对于 VANET 的成功至关重要，因此也是 VANET 上市的先决条件。过去，人们对这一研究领域的关注不够，特别是车辆延迟容忍网络（DTN）的安全性，其中车辆之间不提供端到端网络连接。由于其独特的特性，例如由于网络节点（或车辆）的高速移动而导致的间歇性连接、资源稀缺以及网络节点数量极大，传统方法可能不适合此类车辆DTN。拟议的研究旨在解决车辆 DTN 中的安全和隐私问题，这些问题在之前报道的研究中尚未考虑到。预计该研究计划将有助于发现新想法以及开发创新汽车产品和服务。因此，可以设计新的商业模式和收入来源来促进增长并促进加拿大陷入困境的汽车行业。该研究还将促成总部在信息安全和车辆通信技术方面的培训，这将为加拿大通信、汽车和信息安全行业做出巨大贡献。
