By integrating oneM2M’s standardized data management with MEC's edge computing capabilities, this use case shows real-time, low-latency processing, while also enabling the migration of applications across MEC zones without compromising service quality. As the AV moves, the system adjusts dynamically, ensuring continuous service delivery through the seamless orchestration between the cloud, MEC, and edge devices. This use case not only supports static services but also mobility services, ensuring that the AV receives timely updates and services as it traverses multiple zones.

The integration of oneM2M’s standardized IoT data management with MEC’s edge computing capabilities creates a responsive and location-aware safety system. For instance, when an HV prepares to make a left turn, the MN-CSE on the nearest MEC node evaluates real-time VRU positions and sends instant collision-risk alerts directly to the vehicle. The MEC platform further enhances this process by providing network-aware optimizations, such as selecting the best available connection (5G, LTE-V2X) for data exchange. As the HV moves across different zones, the system seamlessly transitions tasks between edge nodes or back to the cloud, ensuring uninterrupted service. By combining cloud scalability with edge-level agility, this approach not only improves road safety but also demonstrates how IoT and edge computing can converge to support latency-critical automotive applications.
An offloading concept locating tasks and resources to a place where close to users can be applied to this VRU detection service. In this case, a service can be provided to users with very short delay.

As mobile industrial assets like AGVs or modular production units relocate within or between factory environments, the system ensures that all associated digital twin data and computational contexts are seamlessly migrated to a new MN-CSE at the appropriate MEC node. This handover is coordinated by the IN-CSE and utilizes MEC’s Application Mobility and Platform Services to maintain uninterrupted functionality. Throughout this process, the oneM2M system keeps cloud and edge representations synchronized, enabling both high-level analytics—such as key performance indicators and production benchmarking—and immediate operational control. The benefits of this integrated approach are significant. Sub-second response times are achieved by executing control loops directly at the edge, reducing latency to a minimum. The architecture supports uninterrupted service delivery even during the movement of assets between operational zones, enhancing system reliability. Its modular and scalable nature allows deployment across a wide range of industrial environments. Finally, adherence to oneM2M standards and MEC orchestration capabilities guarantees compatibility and future-proof integration across heterogeneous platforms.
