We are pleased to announce a fully funded EPSRC PhD studentship at The University of Huddersfield:
“Designing Efficient Trust Management Framework using AI/LLM for Vehicular Platoons”
Vehicular platoons are a novel transportation technology in which heavy goods vehicles travel in a tight formation at high speeds by sharing sensitive data to maintain coordination. This project addresses the critical need for secure and trustworthy communication in such environments. It will develop AI and LLM-based trust management schemes to detect malicious behavior promptly, ensuring data integrity and enhancing overall network safety and security. The research will contribute to the secure deployment of intelligent mobility systems, particularly in logistics and autonomous transport.
