New orientations in the field of vehicular cybersecurity

A database from 140 scientific articles (journal and conference papers) from the automotive security domain. In the database, we assigned specific attributes to every article (such as Web of Science Impact Factor or the number of citations). The data set was analyzed by the K-means clustering and decision tree analysis methods to identify and characterize the generated groups of papers.

We did not aim to identify perfectly supplementing categories but to define the relevant research topics of the automotive security domain. Following this, some of the chosen categories may have overlap with other topics, which means that these research categories may be partly laid on common scientific and professional basics. However, all the considered categories can be defined as separate, scientifically significant, and considerably relevant research orientations.
