  • Patent number: 11668836
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies directed to global positioning system spoofing countermeasures are disclosed. Embodiments can include a system that comprises a processor and a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that configure a processor to perform operations that include identifying a mobile transportation equipment that includes an electronic logging device and a low-power wide area device, where the electronic logging device obtains GPS location data from a GPS receiver unit and the low-power wide area device obtains independent location data via a narrow band path of a low-power wide area network. The operations can include determining that a spatio-temporal misalignment exists between the independent location data and the GPS location data for the mobile transportation equipment, and providing spatio-temporal data alignment. The operations can include determining that a GPS spoofing attack has occurred, and creating a GPS spoofing alert for the mobile transportation equipment.
