Investigation of Security Threat Datasets for Intra- and Inter-Vehicular Environments.

Vehicular networks have become a critical component of modern transportation systems by facilitating communication between vehicles and infrastructure. Nonetheless, the security of such networks remains a significant concern, given the potential risks associated with cyberattacks. For this purpose, artificial intelligence approaches have been explored to enhance the security of vehicular networks. Using artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze large datasets can enable the early identification and mitigation of potential threats. However, developing and testing effective artificial-intelligence-based solutions for vehicular networks necessitates access to diverse datasets that accurately capture the various security challenges and attack scenarios in this context. In light of this, the present survey comprehensively examines the vehicular network environment, the associated security issues, and existing datasets. Specifically, we begin with a general overview of the vehicular network environment and its security challenges. Following this, we introduce an innovative taxonomy designed to classify datasets pertinent to vehicular network security and analyze key features of these datasets. The survey concludes with a tailored guide aimed at researchers in the vehicular network domain. This guide offers strategic advice on selecting the most appropriate datasets for specific research scenarios in the field.
