Demo: Vehicular Micro Cloud as an Enabler of Intelligent Intersection Management

The recent research studies have unveiled the potential of vehicular micro clouds. The key idea is to have nearby vehicles collaborate with each other over wireless networks to form a virtual edge server on a road. This paper investigates the feasibility of leveraging vehicular micro clouds to provide an intelligent traffic management service. Through a field trial with multiple test vehicles traveling around a 4-way stop intersection, we succeeded in forming a vehicular micro cloud over real DSRC networks, demonstrating the benefit of an inter-vehicle coordination service offered by the virtual edge server.
