Computation service for mobile nodes in a roadway environment

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory memory of an onboard vehicle computer system of a vehicle communicatively coupled to a macro-vehicular cloud via a non-infrastructure network, wherein the macro-vehicular cloud includes a plurality of micro-vehicular clouds, each of the micro-vehicular clouds is formed from a set of mobile nodes including the vehicle, one or more other vehicles, and a coordinator, wherein the set of mobile nodes include a set of provision systems that are operable to provide a set of computing resources to the macro-vehicular cloud via the non-infrastructure network, wherein the set of computing resources are selected by the set of provision systems from those that are unused by the set of mobile nodes and therefore available, wherein the vehicle is a member of a selected micro-vehicular cloud included in the plurality of micro-vehicular clouds so that the vehicle is an element of the macro-vehicular cloud, and wherein the onboard vehicle computer system stores computer-executable code that, when executed by the onboard vehicle computer system, causes the onboard vehicle computer system to:

• transmit, via the non-infrastructure network, a wireless message requesting a merge service from the macro-vehicular cloud, wherein the coordinator accesses the computing resources of the macro-vehicular cloud via the non-infrastructure network;
• and
• receive, via the non-infrastructure network, the merge service from the coordinator of the selected micro-vehicular, wherein the merge service instructs the vehicle to merge into a lane of a roadway.
