Abstract

A method of facilitating on-demand wireless connectivity and data pooling with a vehicle platoon. The method includes detecting a potential host vehicle within a predetermined radius from the requesting vehicle; sending a request message to the potential host vehicle requesting to join the potential host vehicle in a vehicle platoon and to execute an application (APP) by utilizing the vehicle platoon's mobile edge computing (MEC) capabilities; sending a reply message by the host vehicle to join the potential host vehicle in the vehicle platoon; joining the potential host vehicle, by the requesting vehicle, in the vehicle platoon; and wirelessly transmitting to the potential host vehicle in the utilization of the host vehicle's MEC capabilities by pooling the APP data. The vehicle platoon is configured with an advance driver assisted system (ADAS) wireless communications, and MEC capabilities. A MEC module is disposed in at least one of the platoon vehicles.
