Abstract
The transformation of smart mobility is unprecedented-Autonomous, shared and electric connected vehicles, along with the urgent need to meet ambitious net-zero targets by shifting to low-carbon transport modalities result in new traffic patterns and requirements for real-time computation at large-scale, for instance, self-driving cars and augmented reality applications. The cloud computing paradigm can neither respond to such low-latency requirements nor adapt resource allocation to such dynamic spatio-temporal service requests. This paper addresses this grand challenge by introducing a novel decentralized optimization framework for mobility-aware edge-to-cloud resource allocation, service offloading, provisioning and load-balancing. In contrast to related work, this framework comes with superior efficiency and cost-effectiveness under evaluation in real-world traffic settings and mobility datasets. This breakthrough capability of 'computing follows vehicles' proves to be superior to balance resource utilization in a highly cost-effective way, while preventing service deadline violations by 14%-34%.
