Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Epidemiology and Defenses

互联和自动驾驶车辆(CAV)有可能提供新的范例，以提高地面运输的安全性、机动性和环境可持续性。然而，随着车辆越来越多地连接到互联网和其他可广泛访问的网络，它们在网络攻击中的脆弱性成为一个迅速增长的担忧和国家优先事项。来自互联网病毒的证据表明，骑士队肯定会面临流行性恶意软件带来的关键挑战，这种恶意软件被称为骑士队流行病。这种自我传播的恶意软件是一种快速而强大的方式来破坏CAV系统和交通基础设施。准备不足或无法应对骑士队疫情的后果将产生深远影响。因此，该计划的目标是满足基本的重大挑战需求：(1)更好地了解CAVS疫情的传播模式，以及(2)开发能够检测和防御新爆发的策略。从流行病学和生态学领域得到的线索，恶意软件将被描述为传染性流行病，以捕获恶意软件的动态行为。CAVS流行病模型将与网络科学和控制理论的互补优势协同整合，以实现其目标。 该计划旨在利用对骑士疫情的了解，建立有效的协同防御系统，称为骑士疫情控制中心(Center for Cavs Epidance Control，CEC)。它反映了加拿大公共卫生局应对威胁和实现对CAVS疫情的快速反应。公共卫生史的经验教训将被用于CEC，因为它们体现了骑兵疫情面临的巨大挑战。该计划将利用公共卫生理论和实践的知识，通过各种建模和统计方法，为CEC实现有效的工程控制。因此，这项研究计划解决了加强加拿大网络安全战略的需要。

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) have the potential of providing new paradigms to enhance the safety, mobility, and environmental sustainability of surface transportation. However, as vehicles are increasingly being connected to the Internet and other widely accessible networks, their vulnerability to cyber-attacks is a fast-growing concern and a national priority. Evidence from the Internet virus suggests that CAVs will certainly have critical challenges posed by epidemic-style malware, which is referred as CAVs Epidemic. This self-propagating malware is a fast and powerful way of disrupting CAVs system and transportation infrastructures. The consequences of being under-prepared or unable to counter CAVs Epidemic will have a profound impact. Therefore, the objective of this program is to address fundamental grand challenge needs: (1) to better understand the propagation pattern of CAVs epidemic, and (2) to develop strategies that can detect and defend against new outbreaks. Taking cues from the field of epidemiology and ecology, the malware will be described as infectious epidemics to capture malware dynamics behaviour. The CAVs Epidemic models will be synergistically integrated with complementary strengths of network science and control theory to achieve their goals. By leveraging the knowledge of CAVs Epidemic, the proposed program aims to establish effective cooperative defense system, which is called Center for CAVs Epidemic Control (CEC). It mirrors the Public Health Agency of Canada to address threats and enable a quick response to CAVs Epidemic. The lessons of public health history will be used for the CEC as they exemplify the huge challenges to CAVs Epidemic. The program will leverage the knowledge of public health theory and practice toward realizing effective engineered controls for the CEC, through a variety of modeling and statistical approaches. Thus, this research program addresses need to strengthen Canada's cyber-security strategy.
