Zone — Distributed Navigation & Vehicle Coordination Agent
A mesh-native navigation, hazard-detection, and vehicle-coordination agent that runs entirely inside the DOSFI mesh — across DOSFI, MeshInfer, and MeshNativeExchange.

Execution Workflow
The four-stage pipeline that turns raw vehicle sensors into driver-facing routing and hazard intelligence.
Vehicle Telemetry
OBD-II + GPS + IMU sensors stream raw vehicle state into the local inference node.
Zone Inference
MeshInfer runtime fuses local + cross-device telemetry into routing and hazard intelligence.
Routing Output
Optimized route, lane, and flow instructions returned to the vehicle agent.
Vehicle UI
CarPlay / Android Auto renders navigation map, hazard alerts, and zone status.
Deterministic State Machine
Every Zone session transitions through six verified states — each state is attested and logged before proceeding.
Idle
Vehicle agent online, no active Zone membership.
ZoneDiscovery
Vehicle queries MNE for active Zones near its GPS location.
ZoneJoin
Vehicle sends identity token; Zone accepts membership and begins streaming.
ActiveRouting
Vehicle receives real-time routing + hazard intelligence from the mesh.
HazardEvent
Detected hazard triggers collision warning, hazard alert, and flow reroute.
ZoneLeave
Vehicle exits Zone coverage; trip logs sealed locally, Vital settled.
Routing Policy
Distributed, multi-vehicle, real-time route optimization using mesh inference
Local-first: raw telemetry never leaves the device unless privacy_tier = mesh_ok.
Multi-vehicle: Zone fuses anonymized vectors from all participating vehicles in the zone.
Real-time: routing recomputed on every telemetry tick (sub-second mesh latency).
Mesh-native: routing computed across mesh nodes, cloud fallback only on cloud_ok tier.
Zero-trust: every routing output signed with a reasoning bundle and attested.
UI Schema
Navigation Map
Live mesh-rendered map with zone coverage, vehicle positions, and route overlay.
Hazard Alerts
Collision warnings, hazard alerts, and flow instructions surfaced to the driver.
Route Instructions
Turn-by-turn, lane-change, merge, exit, and reroute instructions.
Zone Status
Current state, zone membership, congestion level, and Vital balance.
Storage Schema
Local-first trip logs
Encrypted trip telemetry stored on-device; never uploaded raw.
Anonymized zone metrics
Privacy-preserving aggregate vectors shared with the mesh for routing.
Vehicle identity token
Hardware-attested token bound to @dosfi.ai identity and VIN hash.
Execution Model
App runs inside the mesh; device acts only as renderer, sensor hub, and optional local inference node.
- Device = renderer (CarPlay / Android Auto UI only).
- Device = sensor hub (OBD-II, GPS, IMU, weather).
- Device = optional local inference node (contributes spare TFLOPS to the mesh).
- Routing + hazard intelligence computed across the distributed mesh.
Inference & Intelligence (MeshInfer)
Zone's intelligence is implemented as a distributed inference graph on the MeshInfer runtime.
Inference Streams (Inputs)
Inference Outputs
Distributed Inference Requirements
Ambient AI
Inference runs continuously in the background across mesh nodes.
Local-first privacy
Raw telemetry stays on-device; only anonymized vectors enter the mesh.
Cross-device intelligence
Vehicles share fused intelligence without sharing raw data.
Zero-install computing
No cloud install; inference graph loads natively on the mesh.
Mesh-native routing
Routing computed across distributed nodes, not a central server.
Vehicle Agent Specification
The phone app that connects to the vehicle over Bluetooth OBD-II, streams telemetry to Zone, and renders routing + hazard intelligence on CarPlay / Android Auto.
Platform Requirements
iOS
SwiftUI + CarPlay
Native SwiftUI app with CarPlay template rendering; shared logic module for inference + mesh comms.
Android
Kotlin + Android Auto
Native Kotlin app with Android Auto templates; shared logic module for inference + mesh comms.
Shared Logic
Cross-platform module
Inference stream normalization + mesh transport shared across iOS and Android.
Zone Discovery & Membership (MNE)
Zone is published as a Mesh-Native Service on MeshNativeExchange. Vehicles query MNE for active Zones based on location and join via an attested membership protocol.

Join Protocol
1. Vehicle sends identity token
Hardware-attested @dosfi.ai token + VIN hash presented to Zone.
2. Zone accepts membership
Zone validates identity, assigns zone_id, and grants routing_eligible.
3. Vehicle begins streaming telemetry
Anonymized inference streams published to Zone over mesh transport.
4. Zone begins sending routing + hazard intelligence
Route, collision warnings, and hazard alerts streamed back to vehicle.
Deployment Requirements
Zone is deployable across all three systems — each system hosts a distinct layer of the agent.
DOSFI
App definition + state machine + workflow + routing policy registered in the Mesh-Native App Runtime.
MeshInfer
Inference graph + distributed routing engine + hazard engine deployed across mesh nodes.
MeshNativeExchange
Zone listing + metadata + discovery + membership protocol published for vehicle queries.
