In response to determining the personnel requires assistance with performing the task, the method includes instructing a support device to perform an action to assist the personnel with performing the task.

Abstract: An approach for reducing edge computing resources associated with autonomous vehicle infrastructure is disclosed. The approach utilizes digital twin computing to create a digital copy of the autonomous vehicle and edge computing demand. The approach can simulate the entire journey of the autonomous vehicle(s) on a travel path to determine the edge computing resources requirements. And based on the generated data set, the approach provides recommendations of proactive vehicle maintenance plan to improve edge computing capability of the vehicle based on the selected route. Other recommendation can include identifying whether road maintenance is to be performed for optimum usage of edge computing capability.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining locations of an object using object tracking information and a predictive analysis module. Object tracking information has information on properties of an object and locations of the object. An offload event included in the object tracking information indicates at least one of a location where the object was offloaded and a receiving person that received the object when offloaded. In response to a query for the object from a requestor, a response is returned to the requestor indicating a location at which the object was last offloaded from the object tracking information. A predictive analysis module is invoked to process information on a location of the requestor and on the object to predict a location where the object is currently located to return to the requestor.
