Privacy-Preserving Distributed Resilient Event-Triggered Platoon Control Under Hybrid Cyber Attacks

Abstract

This article investigates the distributed platoon control problem of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) under hybrid cyber attacks, which include false data injection (FDI) and eavesdropping attacks simultaneously. To mitigate the impact of hybrid cyber attacks on vehicle information exchange, an event-triggered dual-layer control strategy with a hidden layer and competitive interconnection structure is proposed. Specifically, to address malicious data injection from FDI attacks, the proposed framework achieves the objective of vehicle platooning through dynamic interaction between the physical and hidden layers only at triggered time instants. Meanwhile, FDI attacks detection and privacy preservation can also be realized through this strategy. Furthermore, a Zeno-free event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is employed to improve the communication efficiency and reduce resource consumption by avoiding unnecessary state transmissions. Sufficient conditions for control parameters are derived to guarantee resilient platoon control objectives under hybrid cyber attacks. Finally, numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
