Developing a methodology for vehicular forensic
FY 2014-15
Summary
The Intelligent Transportation System and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks are paving the way for an efficient,safer and user-friendly transportation and road-side system. Today's vehicle components allow for a vehicle togenerate, log and exchange in real-time data about its operation, surrounding and users with other vehicles. Amajor component of modern vehicles is the infotainment system, which produces and logs pertinentinformation in terms of the driver's behaviour, location, contacts, and headings. The ability to retrieve theselogs could grant forensic investigators and law enforcement agencies the ability to collect data about the driverif he or she was suspected of criminal activities. The data collected could also help reconstruct accidents anddetermine their cause if one occurred. A major challenge that faces forensic companies is the lack of a definedmethodology for performing digital forensic on vehicular infotainment systems. The objective of this researchproject is to help Digital Evidence International Inc. (""DEI"") design and develop a methodology for vehicularforensic analysis. The methodology will look into what data can be collected and from what part of the vehicleelectronic system.
