Abstract: A system includes a processor executing instructions from a computer-readable storage medium. The instructions include, in response to receiving a job request that identifies a first tenant, obtaining a first virtual network key (VNK) corresponding to the first tenant. The instructions include identifying a first computing system that has resources available to satisfy the job request. The instructions include transmitting a first command to the first computing system. The first command includes the first VNK, instructs the first computing system to assign a virtual machine to the job request, and associates the first VNK with the assigned virtual machine. The instructions include, in response to completion of the job request, transmitting a second command to the first computing system. The second command instructs the first computing system to associate a default VNK with the assigned virtual machine. The default VNK does not correspond to the first tenant.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for a transportation system comprises, using a processor associated with a service, initializing information collectors and response monitors by loading configurations, user settings, and data structures to capture device information from a plurality of devices that each run a virtual agent (VA). Fifth generation (5G) communication links are established between 5G server orchestration service instances (SOSIs) and respective VAs on the devices. Captured live status information by the SOSIs is received from various devices. A 5G dynamic ad-hoc network (DAHN) connects a user device of a user having visual impairment and a vehicle stop device, the DAHN creation being triggered by the user device entering a stop device boundary. An SOSI receives user-vehicle stop information after the connecting to the DAHN. Control information is transmitted to the vehicle device VA related to the user when the user device is located within the stop boundary.
