What Works

Fully implemented and tested:

Module Status Notes
Channel code parser Complete Auto-detects 14-char (no dummy) vs 16-char (with dummy H3/P3/PC). Handles real-world codes from NHTSA, BASt, VW, UTAC.
Channel model Complete Immutable channels, auto-grouping X/Y/Z, resultant computation, hierarchical tree builder.
MME reader Complete Two-format support: (1) Real ISO 13499 (.mme + .chn index + .NNN data files), (2) simplified INI format. Tested against 5 real datasets.
CFC filtering Complete SAE J211 compliant. 4th-order Butterworth, zero-phase (filtfilt). All 4 CFC classes.
Alignment transforms Complete X-align (manual/threshold/trigger), Y-align (baseline window).
Resultant Complete From ChannelGroup or arbitrary channels.
Math expressions Complete Safe eval with numpy functions.
HIC Complete HIC15/HIC36, cumulative integration, optimal window search.
3ms clip Complete Cumulative exceedance method.
Nij Complete 4 modes (NTE/NTF/NCE/NCF), per-dummy intercepts (H3 50M/5F/95M, child dummies).
Chest deflection Complete Peak sternal displacement.
Viscous criterion Complete V(t)*C(t) with chest depth per dummy type.
Femur load Complete Left/right, unit conversion.
Tibia index Complete M/Mc + F/Fc with intercepts.
Euro NCAP Complete Sliding-scale color/points, percentage to stars. Versioned thresholds.
US NCAP Complete Logistic injury risk functions, combined probability, star rating.
IIHS Complete G/A/M/P per body region, worst-case overall.
Plot engine Complete Plotly rendering, corridors, cursor values, export.
Template model Complete YAML serialize/deserialize, library manager, session persistence.
Report engine Complete HTML+WeasyPrint PDF, 3 Jinja2 templates. Falls back to HTML if WeasyPrint unavailable.
Plugin registry Complete Entry point + directory + API discovery.
CLI Complete impakt serve/info/channels/evaluate.
Web UI Minimal Basic Dash app: flat channel list, single CFC dropdown, cursor inputs. Functional but needs major overhaul.

Key design decisions already made:

  1. Immutable channels -- transforms return new Channel objects; raw data never modified.
  2. .impakt/ subfolder -- session state stored alongside test data, not in a central DB.
  3. Template/session split -- templates are global recipes; sessions are per-test instances with overrides.
  4. Two MME format variants -- real ISO 13499 and simplified INI. Reader auto-detects.
  5. 16-char channel codes -- positions 11-12 can be dummy type (H3/P3/PC) or measurement type; parser auto-detects.
  6. uv for package management -- dev deps in [dependency-groups], lockfile committed.

What Needs Building Next: Web UI Overhaul

The web UI is the top priority. Current state is a proof-of-concept; needs to become a daily-use tool. The planned features, in priority order:

Priority 1 -- Must have for the tool to be usable

  1. File/test management -- open test from UI (path input), open additional tests for overlay, recent tests list, test metadata panel
  2. Proper channel tree -- collapsible hierarchy (Object > Region > Measurement), select-all per group, preview (peak, unit, rate), color indicators for plotted channels, multi-test awareness
  3. Multi-pane plot layout -- configurable grid (1x1 through 3x2), drag channels to panes, independent zoom with optional sync, per-pane axis labels
  4. Working criteria panel -- auto-detect channels from ISO naming, compute all criteria, results table with pass/fail colors, click to highlight time window on plot
  5. Plot export -- download PNG/SVG/PDF per pane, copy to clipboard, export CSV of plotted data

Priority 2 -- Makes the tool genuinely productive

  1. Template management UI -- template browser, apply/save/edit from UI, session auto-save
  2. Enhanced transform controls -- per-channel CFC, X-align/Y-align controls, one-click resultant
  3. Corridor management -- load from CSV, draw on plot, corridor library with templates
  4. Channel inspector -- tabular data view, statistics (min/max/RMS/peak time), peak detection
  5. Math expression builder -- formula input with autocomplete, variable binding dropdowns, live preview

Priority 3 -- Differentiators

  1. Annotations -- text on plots, measurement lines, highlight regions
  2. Comparison mode -- side-by-side tests, delta plots, synced cursors
  3. Report builder -- drag-and-drop report composer, PDF preview
  4. Keyboard shortcuts -- Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S, 1-9 pane switch, F fullscreen, R reset zoom

Test Data Available

Dataset Lab Type Channels Good for testing

Dependencies

Core: numpy, scipy, plotly, dash, dash-bootstrap-components, pandas, pyyaml, jinja2, weasyprint, pydantic Dev: pytest, pytest-cov, ruff, mypy Optional: nptdms (for future TDMS reader plugin)


Known Issues / Technical Debt

  1. VehicleInfo.year parsed as 0 for real MME data (the .mme format doesn't have a vehicle_year field; it's embedded in the vehicle name string like "VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2000").
  2. Speed displayed as raw float (e.g., 55.900001530350906 km/h) -- should round.
  3. report/pdf.py referenced in pyproject.toml directory structure but doesn't exist as separate file (functionality is in engine.py).
  4. web/assets/ directory exists but is empty -- no custom CSS yet.
  5. No .gitignore -- should exclude .venv/, pycache/, .pytest_cache/, .ruff_cache/, .impakt/ session dirs.
