Abstract

In an era of rapidly evolving technology, traditional cloud computing struggles to meet the demands of resource-intensive smart devices. This necessitates a shift towards Edge Computing (EC), which brings computation and data storage closer to the network’s edge, enhancing efficiency and reducing latency. This is particularly crucial for the Internet of Things (IoT), where supporting mobility, location awareness, and real-time processing are paramount. However, the scalability of EC applications is significantly influenced by network parameters and the capabilities of the computing system. This paper proposes a novel system architecture for Industry 5.0 that leverages the synergy between 6G networks, autonomous vehicles, Augmented Reality (AR), IoT, and edge intelligence to revolutionize transportation systems. Our approach integrates AR for enhanced user interfaces, utilizes IoT for data acquisition and control, and employs edge computing for real-time decision-making. Our experimental results demonstrate a strong correlation between processing speed and network bandwidth. While increasing either parameter individually enhances overall system performance. The two-tier architecture, combined with the Entity Objects (EO) model, demonstrates superior scalability compared to traditional approaches. By distributing processing tasks and leveraging the resources of other edge servers, the system can handle increasing numbers of AVs and data loads without compromising performance.
