Train motion modelling #545

Open LiamOSullivan opened 4 years ago

LiamOSullivan commented 4 years ago

SS to develop prototype application to model train location.

Will sketch a possible design following redesign of Query > Getting Around Map and assess how it may be integrated into dashboard.

Should this be a standalone map and/or included in Q>GO

I envision this to be integrated in the Q>GO map. It is an enhancement of the GO interface, where trains and LUAS visibly update with new data by estimating the location of trains at a given moment. Currently, trains (not available atm) and LUAS real-time information updates upon selection of a station. This model would require interface update with every data update, or at a defined frequency (1 minute preferred, to coincide with timescale of the data)

This may not be necessary. The Irish Rail API gives locations of trains in real time. I think it would be a useful enhancement to increase the 'realtimeness' of the GO query to have updated positions of trains and luas in addition to clickable stations with popups.
