An Online Scheduling Framework for Multiple TBD Flows in Intelligent Transportation Systems

In intelligent transportation systems, efficient traffic management and population monitoring is attributed to the real-time scheduling of multiple Transportation Big Data (TBD) flows, which strongly supported risk assessment and control during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as a complex and heterogeneous network, it is difficult to meet the priority and real-time requirements of multi-modal TBD flow scheduling. To improve the real-time performance of TBD flow scheduling, a scheme for Time-Triggered (TT) flow scheduling and Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) flow scheduling is proposed. First, an online scheduling method for TT flows (RFSD) is proposed, which uses Lion Swarm Optimization (LSO) algorithm for priority assignment and dynamic queues to adjust the scheduling order in real time. It ensures fairness in scheduling and effectively improves the utilization of time slot resources. Furthermore, an online scheduling method for AVB flows (RFSU) is proposed, which uses the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) to construct the utility function for evaluating the scheduling value of AVB flows, effectively increasing the throughput of AVB flows. Finally, extensive experiments show that RFSD increases successful scheduling by 22% over the PAS algorithm. Compared to the TTA algorithm, RFSU achieves a 24% reduction in average delay and a 27% reduction in jitter.
