摘要

The intelligent transport system increasingly considers the traffic efficiency applications over the road networks. This type of application aims mainly at reducing the traveling time of each vehicle toward its targeted destination/destinations and deceasing the fuel consumption and the gas emissions there. The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) technology is one of the main approaches that have been used in these applications. However, the connecting environment of VANETs introduces a good chance for malicious drivers to take advantages of other cooperative drivers and deceive them to achieve their own benefits. This paper introduces a Secure Traffic Efficiency control Protocol (STEP). The designed protocol means to secure the traffic efficiency control applications over the downtown areas. It protects the privacy of cooperative drivers and minimizes any damage that malicious drivers may cause. From the experimental results, the STEP protocol succeeds to detect malicious nodes over the road network. Thus, it enhances the correctness of the traffic efficiency applications and increases their feasibility.
