Abstract
The disclosure includes embodiments that provide a switching decision for vehicle computational offloading to a roadside edge server. A method includes causing a sensor set of a connected vehicle to determine a current driving context of the connected vehicle. The method includes comparing the current driving context to a set of historical data to determine a predicted latency for using offboard computing resources of an edge server. The method includes determining that the predicted latency for using the offboard computing resources satisfies a threshold for the predicted latency. The method includes executing a switching decision that includes deciding to use the offboard computing resources of the edge server. The method includes causing the edge server to wirelessly provide digital data generated by the edge server responsive to a calculation. The method includes modifying an operation of the onboard vehicle computer based on the digital data.
