A cooperative watchdog model based on Dempster–Shafer for detecting misbehaving vehicles by Abdel Wahab, Omar

“…According to this protocol, vehicles might misbehave either during the clusters’ formation by claiming bogus information or after clusters are formed. A vehicle is considered as selfish or misbehaving once it over-speeds the maximum speed limit or under-speeds the minimum speed limit where such a behavior will lead to a disconnected network. …”
