Electric vehicles (EVs) continue to capture a growing share of the smart car market across the globe. Like most new technologies, e-mobility comes with a learning curve.
Securing Electric Mobility provides readers with in-demand knowledge relating to the dynamically evolving intersection between information & communication technology and vehicle engineering.
The edited volume offers in-depth understanding of the distinct features of EV cybersecurity. It opens with a description of the fundamental elements of EVs, their interconnectedness, their cyber-physical characteristics and resulting vulnerabilities. It then dissects the digital threat landscape to increase awareness of all possible risks posed by cyberattacks on electric vehicles, and from there it systematically covers data management, regulatory frameworks, existing solutions and emerging cybersecurity protocols and methodologies that are enhanced by blockchain, artificial intelligence, Internet-of-Things integration, machine learning, and real-time monitoring systems. The value of this thorough overview is strengthened further through the inclusion of real-word case studies, which prove the effectiveness of the adopted approaches to safeguard vehicle control systems, owners’ personal data, and the broader cyber-physical network and related equipment.
This book proves to be an indispensable, state-of-the-art resource for academia and industry alike as it encourages further transformative, interdisciplinary investigations into the security-assurance complexities that guide EVs’ resilience evolution.
