Building Resilient Distributed Networks for Smart Mobility In the era of smart mobility and connected public transport, distributed networks form the backbone of real-time communication, safety, and passenger experience. This post explores the architecture, protocols, and design patterns behind building robust, failover-capable distributed networks for modern mobility systems. Why Distributed Networks Matter in Smart Mobility Real-Time Data Exchange: Vehicles, infrastructure, and control centers must exchange data instantly for safety and efficiency. Dynamic Topology: Buses, trains, and roadside units join and leave the network dynamically, requiring adaptive protocols. Safety-Critical Operations: Failover and redundancy are essential to maintain service during faults or disconnections. Core Technologies and Protocols Service Discovery: Enables devices to find each other automatically. Common protocols include mDNS, DNS-SD, and custom P2P solutions. Multic...
