Edge computing to determine augmented reality content associated with a transportation infrastructure

A computer hardware system configured to provide augmented reality (AR) information to users within a transportation infrastructure, comprising:

• a hardware processor of an edge server configured to initiate one or more executable operations, the one or more executable operations comprising:
• receiving, via a wireless telecommunications network, by the hardware processor of the edge server, and from a first computer device associated with a first user, contextual information for the first user including a destination;
• identifying, by the hardware processor of the edge server and using the contextual information, a first vehicle within the transportation infrastructure to be boarded by the first user using one of a plurality of queues for the first vehicle within a staging area;
• receiving, via the wireless telecommunications network, by the hardware processor of the edge server, from Internet of Things (IoT) edge computing devices within the first vehicle, and prior to the first vehicle arriving at the staging area, ridership information associated with access locations respectively associated with each of the plurality of queues;
• determining, by the hardware processor of the edge server and based on image recognition performed by the IoT edge computing devices within the first vehicle, information indicating that one or more users within the first vehicle have one or more mobility constraints;
• automatically selecting, by the hardware processor of the edge server and using the contextual information, the ridership information, and the information indicating that the one or more users within the first vehicle have the one or more mobility constraints, a queue from the plurality of queues, wherein utilizing the edge server to select the automatically-selected queue utilizes less bandwidth than a quantity of bandwidth associated with utilization of a centralized server;
• communicating, via the wireless telecommunications network, by the hardware processor of the edge server, and via the first computer device, the AR information that includes an identification of the automatically-selected queue;
• and
• causing, by the hardware processor of the edge server, the AR information to be overlayed on a display of the first computer device, in-real time, over a video stream of the staging area while the first user scans the staging area, wherein the first vehicle is one vehicle in a plurality of interconnected vehicles, and wherein the AR information is modified based on one or more constraints of the display of the first computer device.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system of an edge server configured to provide augmented reality (AR) information to users within a transportation infrastructure, causes the computer hardware system of the edge server to perform:
• receiving, via a wireless telecommunications network, by the computer hardware system of the edge server, and from a first computer device associated with a first user, contextual information for the first user including a destination;
• identifying, by the computer hardware system of the edge server and using the contextual information, a first vehicle within the transportation infrastructure to be boarded by the first user using one of a plurality of queues for the first vehicle within a staging area;
• receiving, via the wireless telecommunications network, by the computer hardware system of the edge server, from Internet of Things (IoT) edge computing devices within the first vehicle, and prior to the first vehicle arriving at the staging area, ridership information associated with access locations respectively associated with each of the plurality of queues;
• determining, by the computer hardware system of the edge server and based on image recognition performed by the IoT edge computing devices within the first vehicle, information indicating that one or more users within the first vehicle have one or more mobility constraints;
• automatically selecting, by the computer hardware system of the edge server and using the contextual information, the ridership information, and the information indicating that the one or more users within the first vehicle have the one or more mobility constraints, a queue from the plurality of queues, wherein utilizing the edge server to select the automatically-selected queue utilizes less bandwidth than a quantity of bandwidth associated with utilization of a centralized server;
• communicating, via the wireless telecommunications network, by the computer hardware system of the edge server, and via the first computer device, the AR information that includes an identification of the automatically-selected queue;
• and
• causing, by the computer hardware system of the edge server, the AR information to be overlayed on a display of the first computer device, in real-time, over a video stream of the staging area while the first user scans the staging area, wherein the first vehicle is one vehicle in a plurality of interconnected vehicles, and wherein the AR information is modified based on one or more constraints of the display of the first computer device.
