Edge Chaining Framework for Black Ice Road Fingerprinting

Published: 25 March 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Detecting and reacting efficiently to road condition hazards are challenging given practical restrictions such as limited data availability and lack of infrastructure support. In this paper, we present an edge-cloud chaining solution that bridges the cloud and road infrastructures to enhance road safety. We exploit the roadside infrastructure (e.g., smart lampposts) to form a processing chain at the edge nodes and transmit the essential context to approaching vehicles providing what we refer as road fingerprinting. We approach the problem from two angles: first we focus on semantically defining how an execution pipeline spanning edge and cloud is composed, then we design, implement and evaluate a working prototype based on our assumptions. In addition, we present experimental insights and outline open challenges for next steps.
