The emerging concept of vehicle cloudification is a promising solution to deal with ever-growing computational and communication demands of connected vehicles. A key idea is to have connected vehicles in the vicinity form a cluster, called vehicular micro cloud, and collaborate with other cluster members over vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks to offer data processing, data storage, sensing and communication services. It allows us to use vehicles as virtual edge servers that complement traditional cloud and physical edge servers in the backbone network. In this paper, we design a mechanism to intelligently schedule where and when to form such vehicular micro clouds. A remote server maintains statistics of the amount of available on-board computational resources spatio-temporally, and analyzes these statistics to identify the locations where vehicles can consistently offer a sufficient amount of resources for service provisioning. The results from our proof-of-concept simulations show that our system can significantly reduce the risk of resource scarcity in vehicular micro clouds.
