The in-vehicle controller area network (CAN) bus is one of the essential components for autonomous vehicles, and its safety will be one of the greatest challenges in the field of intelligent vehicles in the future. In this paper, we propose a novel system that uses a deep neural network (DNN) to detect anomalous CAN bus messages. We treat anomaly detection as a cross-domain modelling problem, in which three CAN bus data packets as a group are directly imported into the DNN architecture for parallel training with shared weights. After that, three data packets are represented as three independent feature vectors, which corresponds to three different types of data sequences, namely anchor, positive and negative. The proposed DNN architecture is an embedded triplet loss network that optimizes the distance between the anchor example and the positive example, makes it smaller than the distance between the anchor example and the negative example, and realizes the similarity calculation of samples, which were originally used in face detection. Compared to traditional anomaly detection methods, the proposed method to learn the parameters with shared-weight could improve detection efficiency and detection accuracy. The whole detection system is composed of the front-end and the back-end, which correspond to deep network and triplet loss network, respectively, and are trainable in an end-to-end fashion. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technology can make real-time responses to anomalies and attacks to the CAN bus, and significantly improve the detection ratio. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed method is the first used for anomaly detection in the in-vehicle CAN bus.

The revolutionary idea of the internet of things (IoT) architecture has gained enormous popularity over the last decade, resulting in an exponential growth in the IoT networks, connected devices, and the data processed therein. Since IoT devices generate and exchange sensitive data over the traditional internet, security has become a prime concern due to the generation of zero-day cyberattacks. A network-based intrusion detection system (NIDS) can provide the much-needed efficient security solution to the IoT network by protecting the network entry points through constant network traffic monitoring. Recent NIDS have a high false alarm rate (FAR) in detecting the anomalies, including the novel and zero-day anomalies. This paper proposes an efficient anomaly detection mechanism using mutual information (MI), considering a deep neural network (DNN) for an IoT network. A comparative analysis of different deep-learning models such as DNN, Convolutional Neural Network, Recurrent Neural Network, and its different variants, such as Gated Recurrent Unit and Long Short-term Memory is performed considering the IoT-Botnet 2020 dataset. Experimental results show the improvement of 0.57–2.6% in terms of the model’s accuracy, while at the same time reducing the FAR by 0.23–7.98% to show the effectiveness of the DNN-based NIDS model compared to the well-known deep learning models. It was also observed that using only the 16–35 best numerical features selected using MI instead of 80 features of the dataset result in almost negligible degradation in the model’s performance but helped in decreasing the overall model’s complexity. In addition, the overall accuracy of the DL-based models is further improved by almost 0.99–3.45% in terms of the detection accuracy considering only the top five categorical and numerical features.

Pedestrian fatalities and injuries most likely occur in vehicle-pedestrian crashes. Meanwhile, engineers have tried to reduce the problems by developing a pedestrian detection function in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. However, the system is still not perfect. A remaining problem in pedestrian detection is the performance reduction at nighttime, although pedestrian detection should work well regardless of lighting conditions. This study presents an evaluation of pedestrian detection performance in different lighting conditions, then proposes to adopt multispectral image and deep neural network to improve the detection accuracy. In the evaluation, different image sources including RGB, thermal, and multispectral format are compared for the performance of the pedestrian detection. In addition, the optimizations of the architecture of the deep neural network are performed to achieve high accuracy and short processing time in the pedestrian detection task. The result implies that using multispectral images is the best solution for pedestrian detection at different lighting conditions. The proposed deep neural network accomplishes a 6.9% improvement in pedestrian detection accuracy compared to the baseline method. Moreover, the optimization for processing time indicates that it is possible to reduce 22.76% processing time by only sacrificing 2% detection accuracy.

Environment perception is a basic and necessary technology for autonomous vehicles to ensure safety and reliable driving. A lot of studies have focused on the ideal environment, while much less work has been done on the perception of low-observable targets, features of which may not be obvious in a complex environment. However, it is inevitable for autonomous vehicles to drive in environmental conditions such as rain, snow and night-time, during which the features of the targets are not obvious and detection models trained by images with significant features fail to detect low-observable target. This article mainly studies the efficient and intelligent recognition algorithm of low-observable targets in complex environments, focuses on the development of engineering method to dual-modal image (color–infrared images) low-observable target recognition and explores the applications of infrared imaging and color imaging for an intelligent perception system in autonomous vehicles. A dual-modal deep neural network is established to fuse the color and infrared images and detect low-observable targets in dual-modal images. A manually labeled color–infrared image dataset of low-observable targets is built. The deep learning neural network is trained to optimize internal parameters to make the system capable for both pedestrians and vehicle recognition in complex environments. The experimental results indicate that the dual-modal deep neural network has a better performance on the low-observable target detection and recognition in complex environments than traditional methods.

This paper proposed an algorithm for a deep learning network for identifying circular traffic lights (CTL-DNNet). The sample labeling process uses translation to increase the number of positive samples, and the similarity is calculated to reduce the number of negative samples, thereby reducing overfitting. We use a dataset of approximately 370[Formula: see text]000 samples, with approximately 20[Formula: see text]000 positive samples and approximately 350[Formula: see text]000 negative samples. The datasets are generated from images taken at the Beijing Garden Expo. To obtain a very robust method for the detection of traffic lights, we use different layers, different cost functions and different activation functions of the depth neural network for training and comparison. Our algorithm has evaluated autonomous vehicles in varying illumination and gets the result with high accuracy and robustness. The experimental results show that CTL-DNNet is effective at recognizing road traffic lights in the Beijing Garden Expo area.

Abstract Because of the rapid development of automobile intelligence and networking, cyber attackers can invade the vehicle network via wired and wireless interfaces, such as physical interfaces, short-range wireless interfaces, and long-range wireless interfaces. Thus, interfering with regular driving will immediately jeopardises the drivers’ and passengers’ personal and property safety. To accomplish security protection for the vehicle CAN (Controller Area Network) bus, we propose an anomaly detection method by calculating the information entropy based on the number of interval messages during the sliding window. It detects periodic attacks on the vehicle CAN bus, such as replay attacks and flooding attacks. First, we calculate the number of interval messages according to the CAN bus baud rate, the number of bits of a single frame message, and the time required to calculate information entropy within the window. Second, we compute the window information entropy of regular packet interval packets and determine the normal threshold range by setting a threshold coefficient. Finally, we calculate the information entropy of the data to be measured, determine whether it is greater than or less than the threshold, and detect the anomaly. The experiment uses CANoe software to simulate the vehicle network. It uses the body frame CAN bus network of a brand automobile body bench as the regular network, simulates attack nodes to attack the regular network periodically, collects message data, and verifies the proposed detection method. The results show that the proposed detection method has lower false-negative and false-positive rates for attack scenarios such as replay attacks and flood attacks across different attack cycles.
