This $519,165 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports Purdue University's research and education plan to investigate cybersecurity risks in next-generation transportation infrastructure. The project conducts security analysis, recommends defense solutions, and evaluates system performance under various attack scenarios, with the goal of informing public agencies on developing standards and policies. The research is integrated with education and outreach efforts to teach undergraduate, graduate, community college, and K-12 students about cybersecurity challenges in transportation systems. By bridging the cybersecurity and transportation disciplines, this project aims to prepare students with critical skills for future engineering careers. The award reflects NSF's mission and has been deemed worthy of support based on its intellectual merit and broader societal impacts.
