ENCODE - Ensuring cybersecure deployments of driverless teleoperated vehicles

**ENCODE -确保无人驾驶远程操作车辆的网络安全部署**ENCODE是一个合作的工业研究项目，由联网和自动车辆（CAV）开发商StreetDrone领导，旨在缩短联网和自动车辆技术在货物运输中的上市时间。该项目的重点是使用“多驾驶员”车辆，并附带安全保障，使StreetDrone和英国率先进入货运供应链自动化市场。“多驾驶员”车辆可以通过车载操作员、远程操作员或自动驾驶堆栈（ADS）进行驾驶。广泛部署人员和货物的自主移动的一个重大障碍是实现处理目标环境中所有可能场景所需的技术成熟水平。CAV在自主模式下可以响应的场景范围称为操作设计域（ODD）。如果这种ODD不符合特定环境的预期条件（例如，在繁忙的郊区社区进行最后一英里交付），由于技术不够成熟，并且无法证明安全案例的合理性，那么在没有安全驾驶员的情况下，车辆就无法大规模部署。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一问题，远程操作人员在必要时协助CAV的能力。安全可靠的远程操作允许远程操作员为多辆车提供服务，与传统1:1的车辆驾驶员比例相比，实现了明显的成本节约商机。ENCODE将调查与多驱动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DfT和CCAV等主要利益相关者的参与，以验证和进一步推广最佳实践，并最终在两个地点进行多驾驶员车辆的现场试验，以展示项目成果。ENCODE将由StreetDrone （Preston EV Ltd）交付，该公司是英国领先的自动驾驶汽车开发商，专注于低速自动化应用，包括第一/最后一英里交付；TRL，安全专家和智能移动生活实验室测试平台背后的关键团队；考文垂大学网络安全专家；Angoka有限公司是一家提供受保护通信的初创公司，牛津郡议会是采用CAV技术的地方当局中的领先创新者。

**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.
