Connected Vehicle Blueprint(CVB) is an Akraino approved blueprint and part of Akraino Edge Stack. The project is completely focused on Connected Vehicle Application run on Edge Computing.
Use Case
The use cases for the Connected Vehicle Blueprint are itemized below. For R2, we release the Microservice Platform Tars, which supports the multiple connected vehicle application deployment/management/orchestration/monitor.
UseCases | value proposition |
Accurate Location | The accuracy of location improved by over 10 times than today's system. Today’s GPS system is around 5-10meters away from your reallocation, <1 meter is possible with the help of edge computing. |
Smarter Navigation | Real-time traffic information update, reduces the latency from minutes to seconds, figure out the most efficient way for drivers. |
Safe DriveImprovement | Figure out the potential risks which can NOT be seen by the driver. See below. |
Reduce traffic violation | Let the driverunderstand the traffic rule in some specific area. For instance, change the line prior to a narrow street, avoiding the opposite way drive in the one-way road, avoiding carpool lane when a single driver and so on. |
Where on the Edge
Business Drivers
The Integrated Edge Cloud (IEC) will enable new functionalities and business models on the network edge. The benefits of running applications on the network edge are - Better latencies for end users - Less load on network since more data can be processed locally - Fully utilize the computation power of the edge devices.
The following picture depicts the architecture of the Connect Vehicle Blueprint, which consists of the following key components:
