The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) serves as a pivotal element within urban networks, offering decision support to users and connected automated vehicles (CAVs) through comprehensive information gathering, sensing, device control, and data processing. Presently, ITS predominantly relies on sensors embedded in fixed infrastructure, notably Roadside Units (RSUs). However, RSUs are confined by coverage limitations and may encounter challenges in prompt emergency responses. On-demand resources, such as drones, present a viable option to supplement these deficiencies effectively. This paper introduces an approach where Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) technologies are integrated to formulate a high-availability drone swarm control and communication infrastructure framework, comprising the cloud layer, edge layer, and device layer. Drones confront …
