In the Internet of Vehicles scenario, the in-vehicle terminal cannot meet the requirements of computing tasks in terms of delay and energy consumption; the introduction of cloud computing and MEC is an effective way to solve the above problem. The in-vehicle terminal requires a high task processing delay, and due to the high delay of cloud computing to upload computing tasks to the cloud, the MEC server has limited computing resources, which will increase the task processing delay when there are more tasks. To solve the above problems, a vehicle computing network based on cloud-edge-end collaborative computing is proposed, in which cloud servers, edge servers, service vehicles, and task vehicles themselves can provide computing services. A model of the cloud-edge-end collaborative computing system for the Internet of Vehicles is constructed, and a computational offloading strategy problem is given. Then, a computational offloading strategy based on the M-TSA algorithm and combined with task prioritization and computational offloading node prediction is proposed. Finally, comparative experiments are conducted under task instances simulating real road vehicle conditions to demonstrate the superiority of our network, where our offloading strategy significantly improves the utility of task offloading and reduces offloading delay and energy consumption.
