In this paper, we address the security properties of automated road congestion detection systems. SCATS, SCOOT and InSync are three examples of Adaptive Traffic Control Systems (ATCSs) widely deployed today. ATCSs minimize the unused green time and reduce traffic congestion in urban areas using different methods such as induction loops and camcorders installed at intersections. The main drawback of these system is that they cannot capture incidents outside the range of these camcorders or induction loops. To overcome this hurdle, theoretical concepts for automated road congestion alarm systems including the system architecture, communication protocol, and algorithms are proposed. These concepts incorporate secure wireless vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. The security properties of this new system are presented and then analyzed using the ProVerif protocol verification tool.
