Abstract
Cyber-physical-social connectivity is a key element in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) due to the ever-increasing interaction between human users and technological systems. Such connectivity translates the ITSs into dynamical systems of socio-technical nature. Exploiting this socio-technical feature to our advantage, we propose a cyber-attack detection scheme for ITSs that focuses on cyber-attacks on freeway traffic infrastructure. The proposed scheme combines two parallel macroscopic traffic model-based partial differential equation (PDE) filters whose output residuals are compared to make decision on attack occurrences. One of the filters utilizes physical (vehicle/infrastructure) sensor data as feedback whereas the other utilizes social data from human users' mobile devices as feedback. The Social Data-based Filter is aided by a fake data isolator and a social signal processor that translates the social information into usable feedback signals. Mathematical convergence properties are analyzed for the filters using Lyapunov's stability theory. Finally, we validate our proposed scheme by presenting simulation results.
