Adaptive unknown input observer-based detection and identification method for intelligent transportation under malicious attack

Abstract

This paper aims at developing a novel detection and identification method against malicious attacks in intelligent transportation. Due to the development and applications of communication and advanced sensor technologies, intelligent transportation has faced new safety risks. In particular, the emerging malicious attacks, such as false data injection attack, can mask the destruction of physical dynamic by tampering with information in layer to fool the current detection methods. Because of this reason, an adaptive unknown input observer-based detection and identification method is developed. Firstly, a physical dynamics model of vehicle networking system is established by considering the actual physical state. Considering the spoofing characteristics of false data injection attack, an unknown input observer-based detection method is proposed. Through the design of adaptive unknown input observer parameters, the detection performance, can be improved by cutting down the state estimation error. Compared with the UIO-based detection method, simulations demonstrate that the false positive rate can be reduced 0.1%. Based on the feature of state residuals that is not sensitive to the attacked ith residual, but sensitive to other residuals, a novel identification criterion is developed. At last, simulation experiments on the Matlab verify the performance of the proposed detection and identification algorithm in intelligent transportation system.
