Edge computing for situational awareness
Mahadev Satyanarayanan · 2017
Situational awareness involves the timely acquisition of knowledge about real-world events, distillation of those events into higher-level conceptual constructs, and their synthesis into a coherent context-sensitive view. We explore how convergent trends in video sensing, crowd sourcing and edge computing can be harnessed to create a shared real-time information system for situational awareness in vehicular systems that span driverless and drivered vehicles.
