How to Build Safer Roads with Tailored Geospatial Software Solutions

Discover how custom GIS software development can transform road safety and logistics and how tailored solutions outperform ready-made tools.

Discover how custom GIS software development can transform road safety and logistics and how tailored solutions outperform ready-made tools.

Our Approach

To kick off the project, the startup worked with a dedicated team, including a PM and architect, three full-stack PHP developers, three junior PHP developers, and one junior QA. GisArt suggested starting with an MVP approach to meet the initial six-month deadline. 

As the project progressed, our client’s strategy and features were continuously refined based on retrospectives and team feedback. Recognizing the need for scalability, the team transitioned to a Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) framework with two-week sprints. As the project grew, so did the team, comprising a business analyst, tech lead, more developers, QAs, a data analyst, and a DevOps engineer, ensuring that all aspects of the solution were covered. The startup faced tight deadlines, frequent changes in requirements.

Solution

Software Architecture

To enable maintainability and scalability, we designed and implemented a software architecture that utilized both MVC (Model-View-Controller) and REST architectures.

Client Side

Choosing jQuery enabled dynamic interactions on the client side because of its simplicity and ease of use, allowing us to develop responsive web interfaces quickly.

Server Side

Selecting PHP for its flexibility and rapid development capabilities allowed quick changes and efficient application scalability. Using the Phalcon PHP framework ensured high performance and access to specific microservices. Laravel was a great choice due to its popularity and excellent support and documentation.

Components

The client’s system was built using:

  • Web Pages: To serve as user interfaces for brokers, insurance providers, transportation providers, and patients.
  • Views and Forms: For interactive data entry and display.
  • Controllers: To handle business logic and user requests, ensuring smooth interactions between the front end and the back end.
  • REST API: To facilitate communication between different system components and external services.

Data Models

The database layer:

  • MySQL: Known for its cross-platform compatibility. Including two replicas ensured redundancy and reliability.
  • PostgreSQL: Used in some microservices for its excellent performance with large datasets, providing robust read and write capabilities.
