Abstract

The emerging vehicular applications demand for a lot more computing and communication capacity to excel in their compute-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks. Fog computing, which focuses on moving computing resources to the edge of networks, complements cloud computing by solving the latency constraints and reducing ingress traffic to the cloud. This paper presents a visionary concept on vehicular fog computing that turns connected vehicles into mobile fog nodes and utilises mobility of vehicles for providing cost-effective and on-demand fog computing for vehicular applications. Besides system design, this paper also discusses the remained technical challenges.
