在这封信中，我们建议利用等待红灯的车辆作为虚拟网络基础设施，用于通信，计算和存储，基于观察，在信号交叉口总是存在一个方向红灯。为了说明我们的想法，我们研究了如何在红灯停下来的车辆可以被用作车辆临时存储（VTS），以创造更多的接触机会，在信号交叉口的车辆之间，并促进及时的数据传输。我们设计了一个VTS辅助数据传输方案，通过马尔可夫决策过程，并通过仿真证明其有效性。
In this correspondence, we propose to exploit vehicles waiting at red lights as virtual network infrastructure, for communication, computing, and storage, based on the observation that there always exists a direction getting red lights at signalized intersections. To illustrate our idea, we study how those vehicles stopping at red lights can be utilized as vehicular temporary storage (VTS) to create more contact opportunities between vehicles at signalized intersections and facilitate timely data transportation. We design a VTS-assisted data transportation scheme through Markov decision processes and demonstrate its effectiveness via simulations.
