Resilient Platoon Control of Vehicular Cyber Physical Systems Under DoS Attacks and Multiple Disturbances

Observer-Based Secure Control for Vehicular Platooning Under DoS Attacks

“…1) Different from the existing work in resilient platoon control, [1], where the authors assume a recovery mechanism to deal with DoS attacks, we develop an observer-based secure control for the platooning system. The observer is employed to estimate the state of vehicles based on available measurements and the adverse impact caused by the DoS attacks can be weakened with the observer.…”

“…The the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) has paved the way to consider vehicular platoons in which vehicles move in a coordinated manner, maintaining a minimal inter-vehicular distance. Compared with individual driving, platoon-based driving can significantly improve traffic efficiency and fuel economy while reducing traffic congestion and the risk of accidents [1]. Due to these potential benefits, cooperative platooning control has been extensively investigated over the past few years [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15].…”

“…An adversary may launch an attack in the form of an attack signal that either blocks or compromises the transmission of data packets over the network, thus leading to performance degradation and possible vehicle collisions. As a result, cyber-attacks are considered one of the main threats in VCPSs [1].…”

“…In this paper, we focus on addressing control issues in the presence of DoS attacks. To the best of our knowledge, there have been very few results on resilient platoon control of VCPSs in the presence of DoS attacks [1]. In particular, the problem of designing a resilient platoon control mechanism that achieves asymptotic stability in the presence of DoS attacks remains an open problem.…”

“…RELATED WORKS Up to date, there are few works in the literature addressing the impact of cyber-attacks on VCPSs. Zhao et al [1] investigated the platoon control problem for VCPSs in the presence of DoS attacks with multiple disturbances. The authors propose a recovery mechanism to restrict the time duration rate and occurrence frequency of the adverse impact of DoS attacks on VCPSs.…”
