Veremi Extension: A Dataset For Comparable Evaluation Of Misbehavior Detection In Vanets

Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) is a new upcoming technology that aims at increasing road safety and reducing traffic accidents. C-ITS is based on peer-to-peer messages sent on the Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork (VANET). VANET messages are currently authenticated using digital keys from valid certificates. However, the authenticity of a message is not a guarantee of its correctness. Consequently, a misbehavior detection system is needed to ensure the correct use of the system by the certified vehicles. Although a large number of studies are aimed at solving this problem, the results of these studies are still difficult to compare, reproduce and validate. This is due to the lack of a common reference dataset. For this reason, the original VeReMi dataset was created. It is the first public misbehavior detection dataset allowing anyone to reproduce and compare different results. VeReMi is used in a number of studies and is currently the only dataset in its field. In this Paper, we extend the dataset by adding realistic a sensor error model, a new set of attacks and larger number of data points. Finally, we also provide benchmark detection metrics using a set of local detectors and a simple misbehavior detection mechanism.
