Abstract
Internet of Vehicles applications are known to be critical and time-sensitive. The value proposition of edge computing comprises its lower latency, advantageous bandwidth consumption, privacy, management, efficiency of treatments, and mobility, which aim to improve vehicular and traffic services. Successful stories have been observed between IoV and edge computing to support smooth mobility and the use of local resources. However, vehicle travel, especially due to high-speed movement and intersections, can result in IoV devices losing connection and/or processing with high latency. This paper proposes a Cluster Collaboration Vehicular Edge Computing (CCVEC) framework that aims to guarantee and enhance the connectivity between vehicle sensors and the cloud by utilizing the edge computing paradigm in the middle. The objectives are achieved by utilizing the cluster management strategies deployed between cloud and edge computing servers. The framework is implemented in OpenStack cloud servers and evaluated by measuring the throughput, latency, and memory parameters in two different scenarios. The results obtained show promising indications in terms of latency (approximately 390 ms of the ideal status) and throughput (30 kB/s) values, and thus appears acceptable in terms of performance as well as memory.
