Analyzing the impact of injected sensor data on an Advanced Driver Assistance System using the OP2TIMUS prototyping platform

Abstract

Modern vehicles are running complex and safety critical applications distributed over several Electronic Control Units (ECUs). Some ECUs are equipped with communication interfaces providing access to other devices, networks or remote services. Since the number of attack vectors is increasing, an early investigation of the impact of attacks becomes steadily more important. This paper gives an example how manipulated sensor data injected to the CAN bus affects an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Within multiple experiments we illustrate the impact of different aspects like the sending rate.
