14. Designing the Platform:
You Need a Rock-Solid Foundation
Flexible & Extensible
Connectivity
– Vehicles: Cars, buses, trains
– Infrastructure: car parks, displays, gantries
– People’s mobile devices
– Static and moving things
– Support for many different protocols
Scalable Event Brokering
& Event Mediation
– Each car/bus/train publishes
1 event per second
– Location tracking of journeys adds
up to millions of events per second
– Data ingest & Command dispatch14
