Abstract:

The lack of overall consideration for the efficiency of the transportation system and security situation led to the research on single-vehicle intelligence facing a dilemma. Especially in remote areas without roadside infrastructure deployment or network coverage, all or part of the functions of intelligent services are confronted with failure. Additionally, expensive deployment costs and service charges lead to lower user acceptance and penetration of edge servers. Consequently, a novel autonomous driving paradigm and cloud service architecture urgently need to be raised. Fortunately, platoons' emergence alleviates the inflexibility and shortage of single-vehicle intelligence with its inherited superiority in available resources and adaptive coordination. Given the polymerization, shareability, and economy of platoon resources, the platoon can be regarded as a mobile-edge-platooning cloud (MEPC) platform to provide aggregated resources of computing, storage, Communication, and intellectualization. MEPC is a technologically feasible and economically viable cloud for resource sharing, task scheduling, and autonomous traffic. Along with meeting the resource demand of burgeoning vehicular applications, MEPC can empower the traditional cloud-edge-end architecture based on current and developing technologies, such as AI and blockchain.
