Construction MVP Description

Context​

With the architecture and requirements clarified during the Elaboration phase, the Construction MVP (Minimum Viable Product) phase focuses on building and validating the core system functionality. This milestone represents the transition from planning and design to actual implementation, where theoretical concepts are transformed into working software.

Our team concentrates on implementing the essential features needed to demonstrate the system's value proposition: real-time vehicle monitoring, event detection, and driver alerting capabilities.

Goals​

The main objectives of the Construction MVP phase are:

  1. Develop Core Event Detection System

    • Implement real-time GPS data processing
    • Build speed violation detection algorithms
    • Create overtaking detection mechanisms

  2. Establish System Infrastructure

    • Deploy Eclipse Ditto for digital twin management
    • Configure Eclipse Hono for IoT device connectivity
    • Set up MQTT broker for real-time messaging
    • Implement microservices architecture

  3. Validate Through Simulation

    • Create realistic vehicle movement simulations
    • Test detection algorithms with controlled scenarios
    • Verify system performance and accuracy

  4. Prepare Foundation for Production

    • Design scalable architecture patterns
    • Implement proper error handling and logging
    • Establish deployment procedures

Expected Outcomes​

By the end of the Construction MVP phase, the project delivers:

  • Functional Core System

    • Working event detection for speed violations and overtaking
    • Real-time processing pipeline from GPS data to alerts
    • Digital twin representation of vehicle state
    • MQTT-based event notification system

  • Validated Architecture

    • Proven microservices design patterns
    • Scalable infrastructure components
    • Documented integration interfaces
    • Container-based deployment strategy

  • Simulation Framework

    • Vehicle simulation tools and scripts
    • Predefined test scenarios and road trajectories
    • Reproducible testing environment
    • Data generation utilities

  • Technical Documentation

    • System architecture documentation
    • API specifications and integration guides
    • Deployment and operational procedures
    • Simulation usage instructions

Key Deliverables​

  1. Working Software: Deployed microservices processing simulated vehicle data
