Synergistic integration of refined pelican optimization algorithm and deep neural networks for autonomous vehicle control in edge computing architectures

Autonomous vehicles and mobile edge computing's confluence have raised an innovative model for immediate decision-making and improved computational abilities. But, enhancing vehicle management systems to guarantee effective enactment remains an important challenge. Present approaches regularly depend on intricate algorithms and multiple sensors, that result in improved computational overhead and potential latency. The current study resolves the present gap by offering a new hybrid framework, which synergistically mixes optimization algorithms and deep neural networks through the advantages of mobile edge computing. Precisely, this research presents a hybrid model for autonomous vehicle management by integrating a refined version of the RPO or Pelican Optimizer with deep neural networks attuned to mobile edge computing environments. The chief contributions of the present study have been threefold: (1) the improvement of a particular autonomous driving method optimized for mobile edge computing platforms; (2) the arrangement of an optimized MobileNet method employing the RPO algorithm that uses LiDAR sensor data for effective object recognition and path design; and (3) the construction of an indoor vehicle prototype by mean of a microcontroller and LiDAR sensors, after a comprehensive performance evaluation of inference models, and analyzing the trade-offs between input size and computational effectiveness. Experimental outcomes show the efficiency and reliability of the suggested hybrid model, through improving autonomous vehicle management and decision-making abilities within the mobile edge computing paradigm. The current study contributes to the enhancement of autonomous vehicle research and provides an innovative solution for effective and precise vehicle control within edge computing environments.
