Attack Resilient Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Electric Vehicles

The loss of lateral stability of autonomous electric vehicles can lead to fatal accidents. In order to control the electric vehicle, the sideslip angle needs to be estimated and regulated. To do this, the vehicle dynamics are represented by a state-space framework where the internet-of-things (IoT) enabled sensors are deployed to obtain measurements. The local estimation results are transmitted to the fusion center, where the cyber-attacks occur during the transmission of signals. In order to minimize cyber-attacks, the convex state estimation algorithm is proposed in the context of smart electric vehicles. Afterward, the optimal feedback controller considering packet losses is proposed to stabilize the system states. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
