The Current Security Challenges of Vehicle Communication in the Future Transportation System

Abstract

In the near future, drivers will be supported with an intelligent traffic system everywhere by the early warning signals. Moreover, this system can help to minimize vehicle collisions; increase the safe road; decrease the fatal injury for the pedestrians, passengers, and drivers; and inter-vehicle communication. These are some benefits of vehicle to vehicle communication (V2V). With the development of this technology, these vehicles can communicate together and with infrastructure or Road Side Units (RSU). In this article, the authors explored the basic concepts and the benefits of vehicle to vehicle communication. Furthermore, this paper points out several security concerns toward Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) system, vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communication.
