ENHANCING CYBERSECURITY IN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS: CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES FOR SAFE DATA COMMUNICATION

Аннотация

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent the convergence of information technology, data communication, and transportation infrastructure, enabling more efficient and safer mobility. However, as these systems rely heavily on digital communication and interconnected networks, cybersecurity risks have become a critical concern. Ensuring safe data communication within ITS requires addressing vulnerabilities such as unauthorized data access, signal interference, and malicious attacks targeting vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. This paper explores the primary cybersecurity challenges in ITS, including system heterogeneity, weak encryption protocols, and data privacy issues. It also examines strategies for strengthening cybersecurity, focusing on encryption technologies, authentication mechanisms, intrusion detection systems, and policy frameworks. Through a methodological review of existing research, simulation models, and practical implementations, this study emphasizes the importance of integrated cybersecurity strategies for ensuring reliability, trust, and resilience in intelligent transportation systems.
