Augmented Intelligence of Things for Emergency Vehicle Secure Trajectory Prediction and Task Offloading

Augmented Intelligence of Things (AIoT) combines augmented intelligence algorithms with the massive data collected by IoT devices, enabling more advanced decision-making. The typical application of AIoT is edge computing (EC), which provides computational and storage resources at the edge to support vehicle decision making for computation tasks. With the development of EC, task offloading has become a hopeful paradigm for assisting the time-sensitive tasks of resource-limited vehicles, such as emergency rescue vehicles by deploying at roadside units (RSUs). However, the effectiveness of task offloading for emergency vehicles is hindered by the timeliness of trajectory data and the concern regarding vehicle location. Therefore, this study introduces a secure task offloading scheme relying on the real-time trajectory prediction, named STODRL. First, this study proposes a temporal differential privacy method to disturb vehicular location information to avoid suffering from malicious stealing. Second, a vehicular trajectory prediction method using the temporal convolutional network (TCN) is designed to improve the task offloading precision by offering supplemental trajectory information. Moreover, the scheme employs a reinforcement learning method to offload computational requests effectively and avoid dimensional disasters. Simulated results validate that the STODRL outperforms the existing methods, significantly reducing task completion delays and ensuring the security of location information.
