Design and Experiment of Simple Dynamometer for Vehicle Cybersecurity Research

Authors : Jungho Lee


Abstract

This study describes the design of a simple dynamometer, the creation of an environment for vehicle cybersecurity research, and the results of experiments performed on a real vehicle. Cybersecurity threats in the information technology (IT) environment have spread to vehicles owing to the convergence of vehicles and IT. Accordingly, a variety of research on vehicle cybersecurity has been conducted. Vehicle cybersecurity threats are made to vehicles in motion to trigger casualties. The risk of vehicle cybersecurity threats has been proven in many studies, and protection technology has been also proposed. However, in these studies, the experimental environments were such that the vehicle was simply placed above the ground or on restricted road conditions with no traffic of vehicles. In these experimental environments, unexpected situations can threaten the safety of the experimenter. Furthermore, because the driving environment on actual roads cannot be simulated, the vehicle's functions cannot operate normally. In this study, therefore, we proposed and designed a simple dynamometer to ensure the safety of the experimenter and created the same environment as that of the actual vehicle driving. The designed technology was then applied to a real vehicle to demonstrate the safety and practicality of the designed experimental environment.
