Designing a Cloud-native Weigh-In-Motion

This paper discusses the system architecture of a cloud-native Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system prototype. The prototype WIM system was developed to ingest Vehicular Telematics (VT) data from several Internet of Vehicles (IoV). It is a necessity to build a cloud-native system to serve VT data from IoV devices. There are some design issues to be considered before designing. This paper discusses how the system prototype was designed by considering the design aspects as a reactive system. Four major design solutions, 1) Kubernetes, 2) GlusterFS, 3) Kafka Cluster, 4) Akka Streams are used in the design. The explanations for choosing the solutions were also discussed.
