A Comprehensive System Architecture Model for Telematics Systems of Multimodal Transport Hubs

This paper presents a theoretical model of a system architecture designed to address integration challenges in multimodal hub telematics. Traditional design methods, with their rigid "function-device" sequence, fail to handle heterogeneous data from sources such as AIS and RFID. The proposed model replaces fragmented ("patchwork") solutions by coordinating edge nodes for real-time sensor data preprocessing with scalable cloud resources for batch analytics. The model's core components include dynamic gateway deployment based on NFV and key orchestration elements, such as a load balancer engineered to handle cargo flow spikes. The developed model serves as a foundation for building reference architectures tailored to the specific requirements of multimodal hub telematics. The paper outlines the model's constituents, its scope of application for various hub types, and its implementation stages.
