Kinesis offers a user interface to telematics customers that allows them to manage fleets of up to thousands of vehicles, each with hundreds of journeys per week, each journey containing hundreds if not thousands of position updates.
This all requires a lot of user interaction for filtering of data and drilling down to find insights into driver behaviour. It also means we deal with very large volumes of data. These two aspects of the domain mean that Javascript is a very important part of our technical solution.

Java is used extensively in the Kinesis telematics platform. Our core telematics system, used to communicate with over 100,000 vehicles, is written in Java. This is a network server application that communicates to devices over UDP, processing over 100,000 messages per minute.
We also make use of Java for our on-boarding systems, using Spring Boot and various other components of the Spring framework to facilitate the ordering, configuration, dispatch and diagnostics of our fleet of trackers.

At Radius, we deal with a number of very large data sets, the largest of which is our detailed telemetry for the vehicles we track. These vehicles cover hundreds of millions of miles per month and we record every significant piece of driver behaviour data we can capture during those journeys, as well as recording the location, speed and heading of the vehicle at regular intervals.
This data set has created the need for new tools, practices and processes.
