To improve vehicle user service quality and address data privacy and security issues in intelligent transportation vehicle networking systems, a three-tier communication architecture with cloud-edge-end collaboration was designed in this paper. A Bayesian decision criterion was utilized to divide user data segments into fine-grained slices based on their privacy levels, and differential privacy techniques were applied to protect the offloaded data. To achieve multi-objective optimization between user service quality and data privacy and security, the problem was formulated as a constrained Markov decision process. A communication model, a caching model, a latency model, an energy consumption model, and a data-fragment privacy protection model were designed. Additionally, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm based on the actor–critic approach was proposed for the collaborative and centralized training of multiple intelligent agents (CTMA-AC), enabling multi-objective optimization decision-making for the protection of offloaded private user data. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed multi-agent collaborative privacy data offloading protection strategy can effectively safeguard private user data while ensuring high service quality.
