🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses a critical yet overlooked security vulnerability in intelligent transportation systems: the lack of effective GPU monitoring, which can lead to silent degradation of real-time performance and safety hazards due to GPU misuse. For the first time, this work identifies GPU abuse as a safety blind spot in this domain and reveals its subtle yet significant threat to system timeliness. By conducting system-level performance monitoring and analyzing GPU workload characteristics, the research quantifies the adverse impact of unmanaged GPU tasks on real-time responsiveness. The findings demonstrate that insufficient GPU oversight substantially undermines real-time performance, offering a novel perspective and empirical foundation for enhancing the safety architecture of intelligent transportation systems.

📝 Abstract
Graphics processing units (GPUs) power many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and automated driving applications, but remain largely unmonitored for safety and security. This article highlights GPU misuse as a critical blind spot, showing how unmanaged GPU workloads silently degrade real-time performance, demonstrating the need for stronger security measures in ITS.
