Policy Research Focus
  • Determine if V2V (and V2I/V2X) is feasible to implement
    • Security Needs
      • Functional Requirements
      • Physical/Technical Requirements
      • Operational & Organizational Requirements
      • Financial Sustainability and Responsibility
    • Challenges – unique –
      • Potentially mandatory systems
      • Trip anonymity
      • Scalability, etc.

Security System: A “Must Have” for safety
  • Clarifications
  • Security Network – credentialing and certificate management


  • Security Back Office – operational functions that apply across any type of Security Network


  • Applications Infrastructure – Infrastructure specifically for V2I safety (DSRC) or V2I mobility (other options)


  • All require sustainable funding

Context and Trends
  • Very fast moving


  • Growth in consumer connectivity and the world of apps
  • Emerging market “ecosystem” for apps, suppliers and, perhaps, OEMs
  • Trend toward cell connection and apps in vehicles


14
Main things we need to do…
  • Understand and document suitable security approaches
  • Understand costs
  • Identify potentially viable paths for implementation
  • Identify potentially sustainable financial models for supporting needs
  • Understand potential risks and ramifications
  • Understand stakeholder impacts, roles and responsibilities and support needs

Principles: Purpose
  • Transportation safety is the DOT’s top priority.


  • The principles require that the system:
    • Prevent or mitigate the severity of crashes
    • Minimize driver workload
    • Ensure no increase to driver distraction
    • Encompass all road users
    • Ensure that mandatory safety applications cannot be turned off or overridden.


  • Uses beyond safety applications are permissible and encouraged as long as they do not detract from safety.


19
Principles: Coverage/Scale
  • The system is extensible to all types of connected vehicle systems and applications (safety, mobility, environmental, etc.).


  • System implementation must be national in scale and extensible across North America.
    • Implementation can start at discrete locations but is envisioned to include all major roadways with timing to coincide with the roll out of technology in vehicles.
20
Principles: User Protections
  • DOT is committed to fostering a connected vehicle environment that ensures stakeholder and operational needs are met while at the same time protecting consumers appropriately from unwarranted privacy risks.
    •  The connected vehicle environment will incorporate appropriate privacy controls: transparency; individual participation and redress; purpose specification; limitations on use of information; data minimization and retention; data quality and integrity; security; and accountability and auditing. For example:
      • The environment must provide consumers with appropriate advance notice of and, for opt-in systems, opportunity to provide consent for information collection, use, access, maintenance, security and disposal.
      • The environment will limit the collection and retention of personally identifiable information to the minimum necessary to support stakeholder and operational needs.
21
Principles: User Protections (continued)
    • As the federal role and other critical aspects of connected vehicle regulation and/or implementation are further defined, DOT will document publicly the privacy risks and controls applicable to the system and users.


  • The system must be secure to an appropriate level. The system will:
    • Ensure secure and trusted information exchange among users
    • Provide protection from hacking and malicious behavior
    • Maintain data integrity.

Principles: Technical Functionality
  • Functionality of the system requires compliance with nationwide, universally accepted non-proprietary communication and performance standards
    • Interoperability of equipment, vehicles, and other devices is necessary to enable mandatory safety applications as well as applications supporting mobility, economic competitiveness, and sustainability.
    • Standards must be maintained to ensure technical viability.

  • The system must be technically adaptable and viable over time
    • Must be backward compatible.
    • System must be able to evolve over time as new technologies become available.
26
Principles: Technical Functionality (continued)
  • Communication technology for safety applications must be secure, low latency, mature, stable, and work at highway speeds.
    • Currently DSRC is the only known viable technology for safety critical applications.
    • DSRC or other communication technologies could be used for safety applications that are not for crash-imminent situations, mobility, and environmental applications.

  • Use of the spectrum must comply with established requirements for non-interference.
    • Safety applications take priority over non safety applications.
    • Public sector applications take precedence over commercial applications.
