Deep Learning for Security in Digital Twins of Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems

The purpose is to solve the security problems of the Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (CITS) Digital Twins (DTs) in the Deep Learning (DL) environment. The DL algorithm is improved; the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is combined with Support Vector Regression (SVR); the DTs technology is introduced. Eventually, a CITS DTs model is constructed based on CNN-SVR, whose security performance and effect are analyzed through simulation experiments. Compared with other algorithms, the security prediction accuracy of the proposed algorithm reaches 90.43%. Besides, the proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms regarding Precision, Recall, and F1. The data transmission performances of the proposed algorithm and other algorithms are compared. The proposed algorithm can ensure that emergency messages can be responded to in time, with a delay of less than 1.8s. Meanwhile, it can better adapt to the road environment, maintain high data transmission speed, and provide reasonable path planning for vehicles so that vehicles can reach their destinations faster. The impacts of different factors on the transportation network are analyzed further. Results suggest that under path guidance, as the Market Penetration Rate (MPR), Following Rate (FR), and Congestion Level (CL) increase, the guidance strategy’s effects become more apparent. When MPR ranges between 40% ~ 80% and the congestion is level III, the ATT decreases the fastest, and the improvement effect of the guidance strategy is more apparent. The proposed DL algorithm model can lower the data transmission delay of the system, increase the prediction accuracy, and reasonably changes the paths to suppress the sprawl of traffic congestions, providing an experimental reference for developing and improving urban transportation.
