Scored Competitive Analysis
Each paradigm rated across our 5 engineering vectors. Scores reflect developing-world deployment realities — not just theoretical capability.
| Engineering Vector | SCATS / SCOOT Legacy Adaptive Signals | Alibaba City Brain Centralized Cloud AI | Waze / Google Selfish Routing | traFIX / FaaST Edge-First HITL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematical Soundness Simulation fidelity, convergence proofs, real-time factor | 14 | 16 | 8 | 16 |
| Computational Performance Throughput, latency, hardware efficiency, energy | 10 | 15 | 12 | 18 |
| Architecture & Resilience Offline ops, graceful degradation, mesh failover | 11 | 6 | 10 | 17 |
| Deployment Economics CAPEX, accessibility, DIY deployment, scalability | 8 | 5 | 16 | 19 |
| Regulatory & HITL Safety liability, operator override, compliance incentives | 15 | 10 | 7 | 17 |
| Total Score Out of 100 possible points | 58 C+ | 52 C | 53 C | 87 A- |
SCATS/SCOOT — 58/100
Strong mathematical heritage but prohibitive hardware costs (~$40K+ per intersection), zero offline resilience, and no commuter-facing demand management.
City Brain — 52/100
Powerful cloud AI but total foreign lock-in, zero offline capability, massive CAPEX/OPEX, and data sovereignty concerns disqualify it for developing-world deployment.
Waze/Google — 53/100
Excellent deployment economics (free app) but selfish routing creates system-level inefficiencies. No supply-side optimization, no incentive layer, no HITL advisory.
traFIX/FaaST — 87/100
Only platform scoring above 80 in every category. Edge-first architecture, simplified arithmetic hardware, DePIN incentives, and HITL advisory deliver a fundamentally different paradigm.
The Roadmap to 90+
Our technical milestones move the competitive grade from 87 into the elite 90+ A-grade category.
Q1: Baseline & Fleet Setup
Score Target: 85
Deploy high-frequency cellular trackers on 200 cooperative buses and jeepneys to capture micro-trajectory swarms.
Q2: Edge Hardware Sync
Score Target: 86
Deploy 10 hardware-accelerated local edge controllers. Port the C++ simulation core natively to validate simplified arithmetic throughput.
Q3: Mesh & Token Launch
