View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A new machine learning model, MESMERIC, enhances Internet of Vehicles (IoV) security by accurately identifying malicious vehicles. This trust management mechanism improves road safety and traffic flow in smart cities.
Area Of Science
- Cybersecurity
- Transportation Engineering
- Artificial Intelligence
Background
- The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is crucial for smart cities, enabling vehicle-to-everything communication for enhanced road safety and traffic management.
- Reliable exchange of safety-critical information is paramount in IoV networks; compromised trust can jeopardize the entire system.
- Existing trust mechanisms are insufficient for effectively identifying and removing malicious entities in dynamic IoV environments.
Purpose Of The Study
- To propose a novel machine learning-based trust management mechanism for IoV networks.
- To enhance the reliability and security of safety-critical message dissemination within IoV systems.
- To effectively distinguish trustworthy vehicles from malicious ones to ensure network integrity.
Main Methods
- Developed MESMERIC, a trust management mechanism integrating direct trust (interaction success, similarity, familiarity, reward/punishment), indirect trust (neighboring node confidence), and context (vehicle type, scenarios).
- Utilized machine learning to establish an optimal decision boundary for classifying vehicle trust levels.
- Conducted comprehensive evaluations comparing MESMERIC against existing state-of-the-art trust management mechanisms.
Main Results
- MESMERIC accurately ascertains vehicle trust within IoV networks.
- The mechanism effectively segregates trustworthy vehicles from untrustworthy ones.
- Evaluations demonstrate MESMERIC's superior performance compared to other leading trust management approaches.
Conclusions
- The proposed MESMERIC mechanism offers a robust solution for trust management in IoV.
- Implementing MESMERIC can significantly improve the security and reliability of IoV networks.
- This approach contributes to safer navigation and more intelligent traffic flows in smart city environments.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
