Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The policy concept is well used today to define rules of operations that an agency wants to enforce.
The policy specifications allows the definition of penalty that can apply when the rules are not applied.

Now most agencies SLA with operators are considering the overall operator operations not every single device, in order to give some flexibility. For instance: 80% of scooters should not have had a speed limit offense in the reporting period.

The current policy object is well design to enforce the rules, but does not allow the definition of global SLA such as the example above.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new overarching SLA concept in order to explain how a given agency will compute penalty in case a policy is not enforced.
Now before pushing in this direction, the question is: should MDS cover this use case? or should it be defined at each agency level without standardization, as long as the rules pushed to the operator follow the policy specifications

Is this a breaking change
  • No, not breaking

This SLA object would be a new concept on top of the existing policy ones.

Impacted Spec

For which spec is this feature being requested?

  • policy
Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternative consider in the scope of MDS

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing policy specification and its penalty model, then compare them with the agency-level, operator-wide SLA example described here. Done would require a decided scope for MDS and an agreed specification for any new SLA concept; the issue does not identify files or tests.
