Purpose & Scope
What this module owns
Clear ownership boundaries prevent duplication and ensure every capability has exactly one authoritative home.
Owns
9Delegated to
6Segment classification, route segments
Route maps, salt vulnerability layers, real-time fleet map
In-cab tablet, patrol observations
RWIS stations, automated tank monitoring
Compliance reports, season summary
Immutable patrol & event records (claims defence)
These capabilities are handled by dedicated modules and consumed via stable API contracts — keeping boundaries clean and ownership unambiguous.
Core Capabilities
What it does
3 capability groups comprising 8 discrete capabilities — each with API surface, business rules, and data ownership.
Route inventory with maps, segments, priority (Class 1–6 per O.Reg. 239/02), equipment, operator, distance, estimated time. GIS network optimization (minimize deadheading, balance workload, priority-first). In-cab tablet with GPS tracking.
Priority Classification
Routes assigned Class 1–6 per O.Reg. 239/02 determining response timelines.
Route Optimization
GIS-based optimization minimizing deadheading and balancing operator workload.
In-Cab Navigation
Turn-by-turn tablet navigation with GPS tracking for real-time progress.
Route Inventory
Complete inventory: segments, distance, estimated time, assigned equipment/operator.
Material type (NaCl, treated, pre-wet, sand, sand-salt, CaCl₂, beet juice), application rate (kg/lane-km), quantity, route coverage. Over-application flagging. Season-end reports (total consumption, cost/lane-km).
Material Types
NaCl, treated salt, pre-wet, sand, sand-salt, CaCl₂, and beet juice tracking.
Application Rate
kg/lane-km tracking with over-application flagging against target rates.
Route Coverage
GPS-verified coverage confirming material applied across full route.
Season Reports
Total consumption, cost per lane-km, and material cost analysis.
Real-time GPS tracking on all winter equipment (plows, loaders, graders, spreaders, anti-icing, sidewalk machines). Live operations map during storms. Equipment status and fleet performance data.
Real-Time GPS
≤ 30 second refresh on all winter equipment positions and operational status.
Live Ops Map
Real-time operations map during storms showing fleet positions and coverage.
Equipment Types
Plows, loaders, graders, spreaders, anti-icing trucks, and sidewalk machines.
Performance Data
Fleet right-sizing data from operational performance tracking.
Every module owns a single bounded context, exposes stable APIs, and can be composed into any Civic product — that's the architecture that scales.
