Cover Story: Connected vehicles generate diverse data streams with varying sizes, rates, and requirements, yet most solutions optimise QoS only at the mobile edge computing layer. This study shifts focus to the vehicular edge by embedding intelligence into vehicles via NFV and SDN. We introduce a novel event-driven SD-WAN framework that reacts to network events in real time, classifying critical vehicular traffic into distinct slices to enable dynamic resource management and offloading at the 5G base station. Using VXLAN underlay tunnelling, the framework achieves reliable data transmission and service differentiation, with evaluations showing 100% packet delivery and traffic classification accuracy, outperforming existing SDN and AI methods. View this paper
