Abstract
The rapid evolution of vehicular communication technologies in recent times necessitates robust security measures and enhanced road safety protocols. Integrity of data shared between vehicles, their Digital Twins (DT) and road side units is at stake. Intrusion in these data can potentially lead to misinformation in Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) causing serious consequences upon road safety. These include improper detection of drunk driving behaviors. In this domain, Web 3.0 emerges as the overarching approach that can transform security of vehicles and ensure road safety. This paper explores the potential of Web 3.0 and its key enabling technologies to establish a VEhicular meTAVERSE (Vetaverse) utilizing edge-based DTs of the vehicles to process their dynamics shared in real-time, and based on its deep learning models, predict whether the driving behavior is drunk or sober. This Deep Neural Network (DNN) performs these predictions with 96% accuracy. It secures all Vehicle-to-Digital Twin (V2DT) communications via Multichain - a horizontally scaled parallel blockchains platform that tamper proofs each bit of sensor data, and optimizes transaction validation time to leverage vetaverse security. Results reveal that this framework is accurate and computationally lightweight in comparison to existing state-of-the-art, and brings Web 3.0 to the crucial road safety use-case.
