In Part-I, we presented an optimal day-ahead scheduling scheme for dispatching active distribution networks accounting for the flexibility provided by electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) and other controllable resources such as…
Millimeter-wave radar systems are one of the core components of the safety-critical Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS) of a modern vehicle. Due to their ability to operate efficiently despite bad weather conditions and poor visibility,…
With the increase in the number of electric vehicles (EV), there is a need for the development of the EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) to facilitate fast charging, thereby mitigating the EV congestion at charging stations. The role of the…
We demonstrate that a supply-chain level compromise of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) capability on equipped vehicles can be used to significantly degrade system level performance of current day mixed-autonomy freeway networks. Via a…
We find that the conventional belief of vehicle cyber attacks and their defenses---attacks are feasible and thus defenses are required only when the vehicle's ignition is turned on---does not hold. We verify this fact by discovering and…
The Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack is a cyber-attack in which an attacker intercepts traffic, thus harming the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the network. It remains a popular attack vector due to its simplicity. However,…
An electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) infrastructure is the backbone of transportation electrification. However, the EVCS has myriads of exploitable vulnerabilities in software, hardware, supply chain, and incumbent legacy…
The increasing need for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the drive for green cities have promoted the use of electric vehicles due to their environmental benefits. In fact, countries have set their own targets and are offering…
We study the impact of signal jamming attacks against the communication based train control (CBTC) systems and develop the countermeasures to limit the attacks' impact. CBTC supports the train operation automation and moving-block…
