ITU Workshop on "Security of Intelligent Transport System and Connected Autonomous Vehicle"

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 7 September 2026 (Morning)

Chongqing, China​



The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organized a  workshop on  “Security​ of Intelligent Transport System and Connected Autonomous Vehicle​​​”  on the morning of 7 September 2026  in Chongqing, China, at the kind invitation of the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute (CAERI). 

The workshop was organized alongside the 2nd Content Week meetings of ITU-T Study Group 17, Security, 7-11 September 2026 (see TSB Collective 9/17​).

The objectives of the workshop was to share the latest technological developments, emerging threats, and cybersecurity best practices in the fields of security convergence (Cybersecurity, Functional Safety, and SOTIF), Autonomous Driving Security, and Privacy and Data Security for Intelligent Transport System and Connected Autonomous Vehicle and provide guidance for future standardization activities and technical directions.

 The workshop was followed  by a second workshop,  ITU Workshop on “Advancing Standardization for Secure Agentic AI”​  which took place at  the same venue, on the afternoon of 7 September 2026.


Participation was free of charge and open to all interested stakeholders including ITU Member States, Sector Members, Associates and Academic Institutions and to any individual from a country that is a member of ITU and who wishes to contribute to the work.​

Programme

​​​​09:00 - 09:15
Opening Remarks

Moderator
: Rui Wang, Deputy General Manager, China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd​ (​CAERI)
​​​​9:15 - 10:20​
Session 1: Regulation & Standardization
ITS and CAV are accelerating their global deployment, with regulations and standards evolving rapidly. This session will feature discussions on the latest international regulatory updates and standardization efforts in ITS and CAV security.

Moderator:Ms Yi Zhang​, Q13/17 Co-rapporteur​, Senior Expert, CAERI

10:20 - 10:55​
Session 2: Security Convergence ( Cybersecurity, Functional Safety, and SOTIF)

With the increasing intelligence and connectivity of vehicles, cyberattacks may directly impact functional safety and safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF), potentially leading to safety accidents. Therefore, security convergence is becoming increasingly important.​​

Moderator: Shuang Zhao, Deputy Director of the Security Research Institute, CAICT 

​​​​10:55 - 11:15
Coffee Break​
​​​​11:15 - 12:0​5
Session 3: Autonomous Driving Security
Autonomous driving systems are evolving from rule-based to AI-driven approaches, with large models and end-to-end perception and decision-making technologies increasingly applied. At the same time, adversarial attacks against AI models and sensor spoofing attacks pose new security challenges that need to be addressed.

Moderator
: Qiang Zhang​, Deputy Director, Information Intelligence Business Unit, CAERI
