Abstract:
The disclosure includes embodiments for provision of an uninterrupted vehicular cloud service. A method according to some embodiments includes determining that an ego vehicle is approaching an overlapping vehicular micro cloud area where a plurality of vehicular micro clouds are active. The method includes retrieving intrinsic data describing driving behavior of members of the plurality of vehicular micro clouds. The method includes retrieving extrinsic data describing a roadway geometry of the overlapping vehicular micro cloud area. The method includes determining, based on one or more of the intrinsic data and the extrinsic data, a strategy for ensuring that the plurality of vehicular micro clouds provide an uninterrupted vehicular cloud service. The method includes taking steps to execute the strategy so that the uninterrupted vehicular cloud service is provided.
