The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $263,797 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to The Pennsylvania State University. The grant, titled "CAREER: Enabling Human Situation Awareness Across Physical and Cyber Spaces for Vehicle-to-Everything Communication Security and Driving Safety," is focused on understanding and mitigating the risks posed by Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication attacks on driver situation awareness and automated driving systems.

The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year grant include: 1) developing usable and trustworthy V2X warning interfaces to enhance drivers' situation awareness during automated driving, 2) generating and assessing driver-centered counterfactual explanations to identify discrepancies between physical and cyber environments, and 3) establishing shared situation awareness between drivers and automated driving systems through human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning. The research activities will also be integrated with educational initiatives such as interdisciplinary curriculum development, hands-on training for students, and K-12 outreach programs.
