Car-sharing IoT example
The car-sharing example that we are covering in the book enables interaction between car-seeking and car-holding users. But let’s suppose we have the possibility to deliver a special plan for car-holders who apply for a specific IoT device from the platform we are designing. Another option would be to integrate the car-sharing app in the central car cockpit. In this scenario, users could track the location, speed, and status of the available vehicles. It would also be possible to monitor vehicle health parameters such as battery life, tire pressure, and fuel levels.
In the alternatives presented before, a new vehicle-tracking microservice could be implemented and its data would probably be shared with the existing Routes-Listing and Routes-Planner microservices. For the first one, it would be possible to provide up-to-date information on car availability and estimated arrival times. For the planner, it would facilitate the decision of the best car...
