Fast and Progressive Misbehavior Detection in Internet of Vehicles Based on Broad Learning and Incremental Learning Systems

In recent years, deep learning (DL) has been widely used in vehicle misbehavior detection and has attracted great attention due to its powerful nonlinear mapping ability. However, because of the large number of network parameters, the training processes of these methods are time consuming. Besides, the existing detection methods lack scalability; thus, they are not suitable for Internet of Vehicles (IoV) where new data are constantly generated. In this article, the concept of the broad learning system (BLS) is innovatively introduced into vehicle misbehavior detection. In order to make better use of vehicle information, key features are first extracted from the collected raw data. Then, a BLS is established, which is able to calculate the connection weight of the network efficiently and effectively by ridge regression approximation. Finally, the system can be updated and refined by an incremental learning algorithm based on the newly generated data in IoV. The experimental results show that the proposed method performs much better than DL or traditional classifiers, and could update and optimize the old model fastly and progressively while improving the system's misbehavior detection accuracy.
