Re-identification and revocation for misbehaving vehicle detection

A computer program product included in at least one onboard vehicle computer for modifying an operation of a connected vehicle based on evidence data, the computer program product comprising computer code that is operable, when executed by the onboard vehicle computer, to cause the onboard vehicle computer to execute steps including:

• receive from a vehicular micro cloud, by the connected vehicle that is a member of the vehicular micro cloud, vehicular micro cloud data describing an anomaly and a first state of the anomaly in a geographic area;
• cause a sensor to record sensor data describing the geographic area;
• determine, based on the sensor data and the vehicular micro cloud data, whether the anomaly is still present and in the first state;
• generate the evidence data describing a second state of the anomaly;
• transmit the evidence data to the vehicular micro cloud;
• and
• modify an operation of the connected vehicle based on the evidence data.

A system included in a connected vehicle for modifying an operation of the connected vehicle based on evidence data, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a communication unit communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory communicatively coupled to the processor and the communication unit, wherein the non-transitory memory stores executable code that is operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the processor to:
• receive from a vehicular micro cloud, by a connected vehicle that is a member of the vehicular micro cloud, vehicular micro cloud data describing an anomaly and a first state of the anomaly in a geographic area;
• cause a sensor to record sensor data describing the geographic area;
• determine, based on the sensor data and the vehicular micro cloud data, whether the anomaly is still present and in the first state;
• generate evidence data describing a second state of the anomaly;
• transmit the evidence data to the vehicular micro cloud;
• and
• modify an operation of the connected vehicle based on the evidence data.
