Running Models
Raspberry Pi
The optimization model will be running on a Raspberry Pi located within MSXIV. Exact location unsure, but it will likely be connected to either the infotainment screen or driver display to provide the driver with the optimal speed.
Chase Vehicle
Strategy team members will be running models on laptop computers located in the chase vehicle. They will have full access to the suite of models, the dashboard and be able to input live weather/sun data collected via internet calls.

Raspberry Pi Optimization model may fail | Installed on Raspberry Pi | |
Telemetry (Theoretical from Jess, has not been fully built out/tested)
CAN + GPS messages will be on the Pi at some point
There is a router within the car connected to the Pi via ethernet, router is a wifi access point
PI transmits data via wifi and LTE at same time, if wifi or LTE goes down the other continues sending data
Data is also stored locally on the Pi in case, all LTE transmitted points go to cloud database
laptops in chase vehicle can connect via wifi to store/display data
