receiving, using a controller of the vehicle, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) message transmitted from a communication system affixed to infrastructure at a location, wherein the V2I message includes at least one category of information among a plurality of categories of information and the plurality of categories of information include map-based information and road safety information;
determining, using the controller, based on performing at least one type of verification, whether a misbehavior has occurred with respect to the V2I message, wherein the misbehavior indicates incorrect information in the V2I message, and wherein the performing at least one type of verification includes checking consistency of each field of the V2I message by determining that the misbehavior has occurred when one of the fields of the message toggles between two values repeatedly;
maintaining, using the controller, a counter of a number of times the misbehavior has occurred with respect to the V2I message at the location; and
reporting the misbehavior based on the counter.
