The patent US12045738B2 outlines a system designed to enhance the quality of service (QoS) in transportation services through a multi-access edge computing (MEC) application. The system includes mechanisms for receiving parameters from a global QoS prediction model and updating a local QoS prediction model accordingly. It detects a user's requested vehicle journey and calculates the predicted QoS value along that journey, which serves as a measure of the transportation service's quality. The predicted QoS value is then communicated back to the vehicle, ensuring that users receive real-time insights into the quality of their transportation experience.

Additionally, the patent describes the use of federated learning to generate the global QoS prediction model, utilizing data from multiple vehicles, including sensor data, trip histories, user profiles, and communication data. The system is equipped to collect sensor data from the vehicle and can request updated parameters for the global model if the local model's accuracy falls below a certain threshold. Furthermore, it allows for the integration of journey information from a user's mobile device to refine QoS predictions. Overall, the system aims to leverage advanced machine learning techniques to provide a more responsive and accurate assessment of transportation service quality.
