Abstract
The invention provides a roadside computing system (RCS), or an edge computing system, for an autonomous vehicle. The RCS comprises a hierarchy of roadside unit (RSU) and an onboard unit (OBU) in an individual vehicle. The RSU comprises a data processing module and a communication module, and is capable of generating guidance information and targeted instructions for individual vehicle. The data processing module of the RSU comprises two processors: an External Object Calculating Module (EOCM) and an AI processing unit. Thus, the RCS utilizes roadside edge computing power and AI models to support autonomous driving for the vehicle. The OBU comprises a data processing module, a communication module, and a vehicle control module, and is capable of generating vehicle-specific targeted instruction for the vehicle based on guidance information and targeted instructions received from RSUs, and controlling the vehicle based on vehicle-specific targeted instruction.
