Abstract

The growing adoption of intelligent transportation systems and connected vehicle networks has raised significant cybersecurity concerns due to their vulnerability to cyberattacks such as spoofing, message tampering, and denial-of-service. Traditional intrusion detection systems struggle to cope with the dynamic and high-volume nature of vehicular data, often leading to high false positives and limited adaptability. To address this problem, this study proposes an enhanced deep learning-based optimization framework for detecting cyberattacks in vehicle networks. The methodology employs the UNSW-NB15 dataset, with data preprocessed using Maximum-Minimum Normalization. Feature extraction is performed using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), capturing frequency-domain patterns indicative of anomalies. Detection is executed through an Improved Long Short-Term Memory (ILSTM) model, whose parameters are optimized using the Crocodile Optimization Algorithm (COA), aiming to maximize classification accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed ILSTM-COA model significantly outperforms existing techniques, achieving 98.9% accuracy and showing notable improvements across sensitivity, specificity, and other performance metrics. This model offers a robust, scalable, and real-time solution for safeguarding vehicular networks against evolving cyber threats.
