System Architecture 1 Assignment: Use Case, UI, and Cloud Design

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a system architecture assignment, focusing on the design and implementation of a traveler information system. The assignment begins with an overview of the system's architecture, followed by a detailed conceptual design of the user interface, specifically tailored for mobile platforms to ensure ease of use and accessibility. A sequence diagram illustrates the interactions within the system. The solution includes thorough system test plans, encompassing unit, API, integration, system, install/uninstall, and agile testing methodologies to ensure software quality. Furthermore, the document explores the benefits of a cloud-based architecture, specifically IaaS, for cost-effectiveness and scalability, and it also outlines the functional solutions, including contextual filtering, the use of ambient data (IoT), and integration capabilities. The document also addresses key issues like data type and integration issues. Finally, it outlines system processes and work practices, from design and development to training and system support, to ensure successful implementation, and concludes with a bibliography of relevant sources.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The user interface of the traveller information system is designed for the mobile platform
because the information system is developed targeting the mobile users and it should support a
range of mobile devices that are used by the users for getting the real time estimation of the traffic
to reach the destination location on time. The design of the user interface is kept simple such that
the users does not face any complexity while using the information system.

Section 4: System Test Plans
Unit test A testing should be done for the small pieces of
the software elements and the errors should be
eliminated for the generating a quality software
product.
API test The API’s should be tested that are created for
the application development.
Integration test The modules should be developed individually
and it should be tested as a group to achieve a

specific function.
System test The modules should be integrated for the
analysis of the compliance that is specified by
the requirement and it should be done on the
completed system.
Install and uninstall test Focus should be given on the software that
should be installed or uninstalled by the user
for the deployment of the new software
Agile test The agile methodology should be applied for
testing the information system

Section 5: Cloud based Architecture
IaaS cloud architecture should be used for the development of the network solution because it
provides a virtualization of the resources that includes the load balancing, clustering and backup
servers. It is cost efficient and able to operate on high workloads and eliminating the cost of
additional infrastructure required for the development of the traveller information system. The data
can be shared with the users using the cloud based solution and integrated with the information
system for improvement of the accuracy of the system.

Section 6: Functional Solutions
For the development of the functional solution the process flow for each of the steps of the network
should be analysed and the design goals vs the system feature matrix should be compared for the
development of the traveller information system. The following information attributes are applied
for the development of the functional solution and listed below:
Availability of the information system – The users connected with the information system should be
to access the information system from remote location from any hand held devices.
Contextual filtering – the data that are exactly needed by the users should be shared with them. For
the removal of the unnecessary data a context filtering should be applied.
Use of Ambient data – The application of IoT helps in utilizing certain data types such as map data
that can be used for getting direction to reach the destination location. The IoT can also be used for
getting the traffic data and it can be merged with the route to alert the user and estimate the time
needed for reaching the destination point.
Integration ability – The information of the traveller should be integrated with the other data for
processing the data and produce a result. For example a multimodal data can be used for getting the
availability of the routes by combining the traffic data.
Issues – there are different issues such as data type issue, coverage issue and integration issue that
should be overcome for getting the desired functionality. The data sets should be sufficient for
getting the desired functionality. Cross jurisdictional integration should be analysed for supporting
the intermodal or inter regional travelling for the users.
Section 7: System Processes and Work Practices
The following steps should be followed in the current business for ensuring the successful
implementation of the system processes.
Design, develop and build – A project plan should be created for the development of the pilot
system and validation of the business process and getting all the functionality of the system.
Training, testing and accept - The employees working in the organization should be provided
training utilizing the test data used for migration from the previous system. The results obtained
from the testing and the training should be reviewed for obtaining the goals and objectives of the
organization.

System Support – The existing framework of the network should be evaluated for ensuring optimum
delivery of the data and recommendation of specific hardware and software required for the
development of the traveller information system.
