Abstract
With the development of Mobile Edge Computing, driverless, 5 G, and related techniques, Edge-Cloud based Urban Intelligent Video Systems are extremely promising to support public safety through powerful analysis and timely response. Furtherly, flexible Unmanned Ground Vehicles(UGVs), which are equipped with edge devices, can enhance these edge systems to withstand these abnormalities: natural disasters, abnormal crowd flows, and other emergencies. In this regard, as a critical issue in edge systems, task placement in these systems needs to consider these “mobile” edge nodes: ICVs(UGVs). Therefore, a novel and effective framework named Optimized Centroids K-means based Task Placement framework is proposed: we firstly involve the clustering approach to optimize initial centroids as the positions of ICVs in terms of Edge Nodes, various typical optimization methods can be utilized to place related edge tasks effectively. The experimental results demonstrate that our novel framework has a great improvement over several existing typical strategies and supports multiple optimization methods well in this paper.
