DETECTION OF FALSE VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT MESSAGES

摘要

The trustworthiness of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) messages received from one or more associated vehicles in the vicinity of a subject vehicle is determined autonomously by a false signal detection system of the subject vehicle. Physical evidence relating to the associated vehicles is collected, and a statistical model is used to perform an analysis of the collected data. A V2V message is received by the system from a first one of the associated vehicles and a trustworthiness level of the message is determined in accordance with a correlation between the received V2V message and the result of the analyzed physical data relating to the first associated vehicle. The correlation may be a comparison of data contained in the received V2V message relative to a result of a stochastic analysis of the physical data. The received V2V message may be any V2V safety message including Emergency Electronic Brake Light (EEBL) messages.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a wireless receiver configured to receive a first signal from an associated first vehicle, wherein the first signal comprises a first message representative of a relative safety condition between the associated first vehicle and the apparatus; and message trustworthiness logic operatively coupled with the wireless receiver and operable to obtain data representative of a physical condition of the associated first vehicle, the message trustworthiness logic determining a trustworthiness level of the first message received by the wireless receiver in accordance with a statistical modeling of the data representative of the physical condition of the associated first vehicle; the message trustworthiness logic selectively generating a safety alert signal responsive to the determining of the trustworthiness level of the first message.
