Scope
Over the past decade, many disruptive and potentially transformative technologies have been developed as part of the fourth industrial revolution, commonly referred to as industry 4.0. The top of the list of these technologies include Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Security and Machine Learning. These disruptive technologies have the potential to reshuffle the global industry structure, create new markets, improve labor productivity, drive growth in advanced economies, create new lines of products, challenge exiting industries, replace incumbent and older industries, and transform how people live, communicate and work. In this context, these technologies have become the backbone of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) where different ITS components leverage advances in IoT, intelligent control, cloud computing and artificial intelligence to get connected to each other while providing innovative services.
While there has been a tremendous fast progress in the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems in recent years, the security of such systems did not scale up at the same rate. Actually, researchers have been investigating the security and privacy aspects of these systems as the number of cyber-attacks targeting IoT devices, cloud providers and other key components of Intelligent Transportation Systems has been on a constant rise. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academia, industry and government, researchers and practitioners, to analyze and discuss the security, privacy and trust issues in Intelligent Transportation Systems.
Rationale
In recent years, the pervasive widespread of technological breakthrough in computers and wireless technology has revolutionized our lives. In particular, intelligent transportation systems rely heavily on modern technologies such as IoT and Cloud Computing to offer a variety of services between connected vehicles and infrastructure to make travel safer, cleaner, and more efficient. However, in recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the number of cyber-attacks targeting such technologies, which threatens the sustainability of such systems. As such, government agencies as well as academic organization and industry have been investing time, money and efforts on Intelligent Transportation Systems with a particular focus on the security of such systems. For instance, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) established an ITS joint program office in 1996 while the European Commission has adopted in 2016 a European Strategy on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS).
