At the same time, the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications that ITS and CVs rely on also introduce new security challenges. Sybil attack is one of the most serious security threats to CV-based ITS, in which a Sybil attacker creates and operates multiple fake CVs from a single physical CV to inject and disseminate false information to mislead the ITS into making suboptimal decisions, e.g., causing fake traffic jams. This paper proposes a novel physical measurement-based method to detect Sybil attacks and identify Sybil CVs. We observe that it is impossible for a single malicious physical CV to be presented at multiple claimed positions at the same time. Second, the Angle of Arrival (AoA) measurement depends on the physical locations of the transmitter and the receiver, which is difficult to forge in practice. Based on these observations, our scheme takes advantage of the inconsistency between their claimed positions and measured AoAs for Sybil attack detection. Detailed simulation studies using both synthetic and real vehicular mobility traces confirm that the proposed scheme can detect Sybil attacks and differentiate Sybil CVs from legitimate CVs with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":338621,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Mobility, Operations, Services and Technologies (MOST)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122979239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Re-using this map later can ensure accurate and robust localization if the environment does not change significantly. Current SLAM studies mainly focus on improving the performance of SLAM algorithm to gain better localization accuracy. However, the discrepancies between localization sensor and mapping sensor such as accuracy and resolution, may impact the localization in the shared map. The impact factors of map sharing performance has not been widely investigated. Understanding the impact factors can facilitate the implementation of map sharing system to extend the usage of SLAM map. In this paper, we utilize two representative SLAM systems, NDT SLAM and ORB SLAM, to study the potential impact factors of using a shared map for heterogeneous sensors. Specifically, we evaluate the impact of three key factors (map, localization algorithm and sensor) on map sharing performance. With three LiDARs and three cameras, we record a dataset and build two groups of maps of the same environment. By applying these maps for localization, we derive four insights into the relation between localization performance and variability of the critical factors. Specifically, we find that Lidar-based SLAM performs stable to the discrepancy of Lidar sensors. In contrast, visual-based SLAM is sensitive to the shared map’s quality and the camera’s focal length.","PeriodicalId":338621,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Mobility, Operations, Services and Technologies (MOST)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115771903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed detection framework architecture uses both LiDAR point clouds and Camera RGB images to generate region proposals. Current implementation of the regional proposal network (RPN) requires the generation of a large number of region proposals, majority of which are unproductive. As such, we devise a novel proposal refinement algorithm, to jointly optimize and filter a number of proposals in RPN through the combined application of both sets of LiDAR and image-based proposals thereby accelerating the LiDAR-Camera fusion algorithm without sacrificing detection precision and accuracy. Our experiments show that number of proposals is a complementary factor in determining the computational overhead in a detection network. Our proposed architecture is shown to produce state of art results on the KITTI joint object detection benchmark with the comparison being based on the execution time. While maintaining efficient detection accuracy we decrease the computational overhead by more than 20 % on the KITTI dataset.","PeriodicalId":338621,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Mobility, Operations, Services and Technologies (MOST)","volume":"382 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122873465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this poster, we introduce our ongoing project idea about processing the time-sensitive regions of the video on the drone and transmitting the processed results along with the time-insensitive regions to the car for decision-making and further analysis. To evaluate our idea, we build an experimental system using toy cars and programmable drones.

The study of its effects on the polar ice caps and other arctic environments, however, can be hindered by the often dangerous and difficult to navigate terrain found there. Multi-terrain autonomous vehicles can assist researchers by providing a mobile platform on which to collect data in these harsh environments while avoiding any risk to human life and speeding up the research process. The mechanical design and ultimate efficacy of these autonomous robotic vehicles depends largely on the specific missions they are deployed for, but terrain conditions can vary wildly geographically as well as seasonally, making mission planning for these unmanned vehicles more difficult. This paper proposes the use of various UNet-based neural network architectures to generate digital elevation maps from satellite images, and explores and compares their efficacy on a single set of training and validation datasets generated from satellite imagery. These digital elevation maps generated by the model could be used by researchers not only to track the change in arctic topography over time, but to quickly provide autonomous exploratory research rovers with the topographical information necessary to decide on optimal paths during the mission. This paper analyzes different model architectures and training schemes: a traditional UNet, a traditional UNet with data augmentation, a UNet with a single active skip-layer vision transformer (ViT), and a UNet with multiple active skip-layer ViT. Each model was trained on a dataset of satellite images and corresponding digital elevation maps of Ellesmere Island, Canada. Utilizing ViTs did not demonstrate a significant improvement in UNet performance, though this could change with longer training. This paper proposes opportunities to improve performance for these neural networks, as well as next steps for further research, including improving the diversity of images in the dataset, generating a testing dataset from a completely different geographic location, and allowing the models more time to train.","PeriodicalId":338621,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Mobility, Operations, Services and Technologies (MOST)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131610106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach provides the capability to describe, generate, and share abstract traffic scenarios for validation.
