Roadmap

This roadmap outlines the planned evolution of the Telemachus project.

Short-Term (0–3 months)

  • ✅ Release v0.1-alpha with GNSS, Motion, IMU, Engine, Events, Context, Source.
  • Expand documentation (State of the Art, Mappings, TCS, Contexts, Versioning, Glossary).
  • Add more provider mappings (Geotab, Webfleet, Samsara, Teltonika).
  • Deliver Python SDK (telemachus-py) with DataFrame + Parquet support.
  • Deliver CLI tool (telemachus-cli) with validation and conversion commands.
  • Publish example datasets (RS3 simulation, provider samples).
  • Publish RS3 simulation datasets in Telemachus format (JSON/Parquet).
  • Add "Getting Started" tutorials for SDK and CLI in the documentation.

Medium-Term (3–12 months)

  • Release v0.2–v0.9 with incremental improvements.
  • Add Telemachus Completeness Score (TCS) reference implementation.
  • Expand context modules: altitude IGN, weather ERA5, road genome.
  • Develop bindings for other languages (Java, JS/TS).
  • Engage first adopters (researchers, SSII, mobility players).
  • Publish white paper and present at industry/scientific conferences.
  • Register DOI (Zenodo) for citation and adoption in academia.
  • Provide official RS3 baseline dataset with TCS = 100% as reference.
  • Publish benchmark comparing SaaS providers (Geotab, Webfleet, Samsara) vs RS3 baseline.
  • Submit first scientific paper or extended abstract to an academic venue.

Long-Term (12+ months)

  • Release v1.0 stable with frozen Core spec.
  • Define Fleet Premium extension: missions, SLA, KPIs.
  • Promote adoption as an open industry standard (like GTFS).
  • Integrate with ecosystem: insurance, fleet management, smart city.
  • Build community governance model (open RFC process).
  • Explore integration with Otonomo/High Mobility/Flespi and OEM APIs.
  • Internationalization: documentation in FR/EN and wider community engagement.
  • Formalize Road Genome context into a structured module (if adopted).
  • Establish partnerships with standardization bodies (ISO, OGC, CEN).
  • Provide certification or compliance badge for adopters.

Conclusion

Telemachus will evolve from a research-backed schema into an open industry standard with both scientific credibility and business relevance.
The staged roadmap ensures stability, adoption, and long-term sustainability.
