Executive Overview

A high-concurrency analytical dashboard that monitors vehicle locations, delivery routes, and parcel status.

Business Problem

A logistics network experienced tracking delays and inefficient routing, resulting in high fuel costs and delivery bottlenecks.

Client Goals

Provide sub-second map updates for 10,000+ active transport units.
Calculate optimal delivery paths based on live traffic reports.
Implement warning metrics for route deviations.

Technical Challenges

Ingesting and processing 5,000 telemetry updates per second without database bottlenecks or display freeze.

Solution

Designed and deployed an analytical platform. Built a custom Go processor to evaluate vehicle trajectories and calculate routes using OpenStreetMap datasets.

Architecture Overview

Fleet sensors send telemetry to an Apache Kafka ingestion pipeline. A Go-based streaming service processes updates, writing to a TimescaleDB instance.

API Integrations

OpenStreetMap Routing APISamsara Telemetry Ingress APIGoogle Maps Geocoding APIWeather Channel Forecast API

Database Design

TimescaleDB handles time-series GPS data. PostgreSQL stores fleet metadata and route schedules.

Authentication Strategy

Single Sign-On (SSO) integrated with Azure Active Directory, issuing OAuth2 access tokens.

Security Considerations

API keys are stored securely. Enforces role-based access control (RBAC), restricting route modifications to supervisors.

Performance Optimizations

Uses deck.gl to render vehicle nodes on map overlays, keeping UI rendering smooth.

Testing Strategy

Tests ingestion pipelines under simulated peak loads to confirm system stability.

Continuous Integration Pipeline verified with automated test suites on deployment hooks.

Deployment Strategy

Go microservices deploy to AWS EKS using Helm charts, running autoscaling nodes.

Monitoring Strategy

Grafana dashboards display ingestion rates, routing processing latency alerts to Slack.

Business Results & Lessons

Optimized delivery routes, reduced fuel consumption, and improved tracking reliability.

Lessons Learned

Decoupling ingestion pipelines from the database prevents transaction bottlenecks under load.

Future Improvements Roadmap

Deploy predictive maintenance forecasts. • Integrate autonomous shipping updates.

Case Study FAQ

How often do maps refresh?
↓
Fleet tracking overlays refresh every 1.5 seconds, matching updates sent by vehicle GPS sensors.
Can dispatchers override auto-calculated routes?
↓
Yes. Dispatchers can manually override routes, updating the database instantly.
