SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AN AUTOMOTIVE EDGE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Systems and methods described herein relate to managing an automotive edge computing environment. One embodiment receives current status information from one or more edge servers; receives and queues requested computing tasks from one or more connected vehicles; selects, as an optimization trigger number N, a largest number of requested computing tasks for which an optimization process can be completed within a time, per requested computing task, that is less than an average time gap between the requested computing tasks; performs the optimization process when a number of queued requested computing tasks exceeds the optimization trigger number N, wherein the optimization process produces an updated data transfer schedule and an updated data process schedule for N queued requested computing tasks; and transmits the updated data transfer schedule and the updated data process schedule to the one or more edge servers and the one or more connected vehicles.
