Adaptive Safety Context Information for Vulnerable Road Users with MEC Support

Cooperative Vulnerable Road User (VRU) collision avoidance aims at preventing potential accidents between VRUs and vehicles by exchanging context information. In this paper, we present a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC)-based VRU safety system as an alternative to earlier purely ad-hoc communication-based ones, in which VRU smartphones utilize the cellular connection to frequently send context messages to a MEC server. However, in such safety...
