Vehicular Micro Cloud Reciprocation System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In vehicular micro clouds, high-capability vehicles often carry a disproportionate load in collaborative tasks without receiving proportional benefits, leading to discouragement in participation, while low-capability vehicles may not receive fair returns for services rendered.
Innovation Solution
An automated reciprocation system that monitors and records contributions from vehicles within the micro cloud, identifying events to execute reciprocal tasks that benefit contributing members, such as prioritizing their operations or providing rewards outside the cloud environment, to balance benefit distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If high-capability vehicles participate in micro cloud operations, then overall system productivity is improved, but benefit distribution becomes unbalanced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where contribution levels of vehicle members are monitored and recorded. Based on this feedback, reciprocal tasks are automatically assigned to balance benefit distribution. The response module determines and executes reciprocal tasks that provide returns to contributing members, ensuring that high-capability vehicles receive proportional benefits for their resource contributions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary monitoring and recording of contribution levels during micro cloud operations. Before reciprocal tasks are executed, the system has already identified and recorded the contribution levels of participating vehicles. This preliminary action enables the subsequent fair distribution of benefits through appropriately designed reciprocal tasks.
2Ease of operation
If reciprocal tasks are automatically assigned, then benefit distribution fairness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The benefit management system is segmented into three distinct functional modules: a monitoring module that tracks contribution levels, a tracking module that identifies events and vehicles, and a response module that determines and executes reciprocal tasks. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, managing complexity through functional decomposition while maintaining overall system coordination.

AI summary
System, methods, and embodiments described herein relate to managing benefit distribution in a vehicular micro cloud in which a plurality of vehicle members collaboratively execute operations in an environment of the vehicular micro cloud. A disclosed method may include monitoring a distributed execution of a micro cloud operation initiated by the ego vehicle, determining a contribution level of a vehicle member of the vehicular micro cloud that contributed toward completing the micro cloud operation, storing a record indicating the contribution level, identifying an occurrence of an event, the event being a micro cloud interaction or encounter with the vehicle member subsequent to completion of the micro cloud operation, determining, based at least in part on the record indicating the contribution level, a reciprocal task that benefits the vehicle member, and executing the reciprocal task during the event.
