Abstract

Global positioning system provides worldwide coverage and accurate location and timing information that are useful in a variety of commercial and personal applications. GPS plays a very important role in intelligent transportation systems. GPS offers highly efficient vehicle transportation on roadways and solution to problems associated with routing and tracking of vehicles. Nevertheless, the civilian GPS is vulnerable to different attacks like jamming and spoofing which make it highly unreliable. In this paper, we are proposing an attack model on road navigation with the help of SDR. To launch an attack, we constructed a graph model for a given road network. By using our algorithm, we discovered the attack route that diverts the victim without their consciousness.
