# VEHICULAR EDGE COMPUTING SYSTEM

# PROBLEM:

As more and more research has been conducted on mobile edge computing, we propose that a mobile edge computing server in application can be deployed on-board a vehicle. But when performing tasks, the server will heat up very quickly and traditionally, the air-conditioner is needed. We try to avoid the use of air-conditioner, but put the server exposed to the air.

# SOLUTION OVERVIEW:

The vehicular mobile edge computing server is designed with a general server installed on-board vehicle. To make full use of the server, it will be accessed to the Internet and realize functionalities according to the existing theory of edge computing. To solve the problem of heating when performing intensive computational tasks, we utilize the wind to cool it down while designing waterproof to protect the server from rain.

# SOLUTION COMPONENTS:

## Modules on Waterproof and Shelter:

- The waterproof: To protect the server from rain or snow.

- The shelter: To carry the server with high stability.

- The airpath on the shelter: To utilize the wind to cool down the server effectively, even in relatively low car speed.

## Server Modules:

- The wireless communication access to the Internet.

- The server can perform relatively complex tasks like deep learning effectively.


# CRITERION FOR SUCCESS:

- Functionality: The mobile edge computing server can do computation tasks in the complexity level of deep learning, and access to the Internet to send or receive data. The waterproof and shelter should be stable and firm to fasten the server and protect it from rain. Also it can dissipate heat effectively.

- User experience: The user can get real-time access via the Internet and enjoy plentiful services like online video, etc.

- Durability and stability: The server needs to maintain a stable access to the Internet, and it can be used in rainy environment.

A crowd-sourcing urban air quality monitoring system with bikes

Featured Project

**Problem**

For public bike users, someone may concern about the air quality in which they are currently riding, as well as the places they are going to. However, currently there is no such an air quality monitoring system which provides air quality information in specific areas inside a city such as Haining.

**Solution Overview**

The idea is to apply air quality monitoring devices on the public bike system. The public bike system in Haining is a perfect carrier for IoT (Internet of Things) devices and urban sensing since it has a large and stable user group and all bikes are managed by official organization which means unified modification on all bikes can be done. A monitoring device integrated on the bike can provide the real-time information that users want to know and share data with other users through a cloud server. A real-time air quality map can be created for users with the contribution from all running bikes.

**Solution Components**

Subsystem 1 – on-bike air quality monitoring device. The subsystem is a stm32 microcontroller based design, integrated with air contaminant sensor, speed meter and data transmission modules. Once connected to a smartphone, the subsystem will keep transmitting real-time data to the smartphone.

Subsystem 2 – Software include a user interface and a server. The user interface can be either an app or a website on smartphone. The user interface receives sensor data from the hardware subsystem, displays the real-time statistics, uploads sensor data to server and receives the air quality map from server. The server processes data from all running bikes, creates a real-time air quality map and returns it back to users.

**Criterion for Success**

1. Success of data collection: stable real-time statistic display on user interface, stable data collection on server.

2. Air quality visualization: The air quality map correctly reflects the air quality in Haining city. For example, the concentration of air contamination should be higher in heavy traffic than in intl campus.

3. Speed control: The on-bike device or smartphone should give an alert when the monitored speed exceeds the upper limit or the user set range. This is not the core function of our design, but we add it as we think the function makes sense for safety purpose.
