Optimal Controller Realizations against False Data Injections in Cooperative Driving
<|reference_start|>Optimal Controller Realizations against False Data Injections in Cooperative Driving: To enhance the robustness of cooperative driving to cyberattacks, we study a controller-oriented approach to mitigate the effect of a class of False-Data Injection (FDI) attacks. By reformulating a given dynamic Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) scheme (the base controller), we recognize that the base controller can be represented by a class of new but equivalent controllers (base controller realizations) that exhibits the same platooning behavior with varying robustness in the presence of attacks. We propose a prescriptive synthesis framework where the base controller and the system dynamics are written in new coordinates via an invertible coordinate transformation on the controller state. Because the input-output behavior is invariant under coordinate transformations, the input-output behavior is unaffected (so controller realizations do not change the system's closed-loop performance). However, each base controller realization may require a different combination of sensors. To this end, we obtain the optimal combination of sensors that minimizes the effect of FDI attacks by solving a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI), while quantifying the FDI's attack impact through reachability analysis. Through simulation studies, we demonstrate that this approach enhances the robustness of cooperative driving, without relying on a detection scheme and maintaining all system properties.<|reference_end|>
