Connected Mobility Lens

Publication date: January 3, 2024 (Document revisions)

This paper describes the Connected Mobility Lens for the AWS Well-Architected Framework, which enables you to review and improve your cloud-based architectures and better understand the impact of design decisions. We present general design principles and specific best practices aligned to the six pillars of the Well-Architected Framework.

Introduction

Connected mobility refers to the integration of technology into transportation systems to improve the flow of traffic and enhance the overall mobility experience. This includes the use of connected vehicles, smart infrastructure, and advanced data analytics to help improve traffic flow, improve safety, and reduce emissions. Connected mobility also includes the integration of various modes of transportation, such as cars, public transit, bicycles, and pedestrian walkways, to create a seamless, efficient, and safe transportation system.

This initial version of the Connected Mobility Lens primarily addresses scenarios related to connected vehicles, with a focus on how each scenario impacts the architecture from the edge to the cloud. A connected vehicle is defined as a vehicle that can communicate with other systems outside of the vehicle. These scenarios and use cases are not exhaustive, but they encompass common patterns in connected vehicles. We present a background on each scenario, general considerations for the design of the system, and a reference architecture for customers to consider for how the scenarios can be implemented.

Lens availability

The Connected Mobility Lens is available as an AWS-official lens in the Lens Catalog of the AWS Well-Architected Tool.
