The Vehicular Reference Misbehavior Dataset (VeReMi) is a vital resource for advancing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, its large size (∼7 GB) and inherent class imbalance pose significant challenges for machine learning model development. This paper presents a preprocessing framework to enhance VeReMi's usability and relevance. Through 10 % down-sampling, the dataset was reduced to ∼724MB, making it computationally manageable. Biases were addressed by balancing benign and malicious samples through synthesis and identifying benign instances using predefined criteria. A refined feature set, including key attributes like rcvTime, pos_0, pos_1, and attack_type (renamed attacker_type), was selected to improve machine learning compatibility. This preprocessing pipeline effectively maintains data integrity and preserves the representativeness of malicious patterns. The optimized dataset is well-suited for ITS and IoV applications, such as anomaly detection and network security, underscoring the crucial role of preprocessing in overcoming real-world constraints and enhancing model performance. © 2025 The Authors
