Multi-modal Trip Planning #31

Open bhelx opened 7 years ago

bhelx commented 7 years ago

This is more of an epic than a story, but I'd like to have trip planning capabilities in the app. This will be really helpful for tourists or people going to a part of the city in which they are not familiar. There are 2 steps:

  1. Setup OpenTripPlanner on a server somewhere. Would prefer to have this somewhere as close to new orleans as possible for latency reasons.
  2. Build a search box and something that can display the results and link to the right place in the app.

I have the OSM file for this and ran some test queries. Works out fine.

We could also investigate using google services here but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

The challenge will be address and business lookup I think.

I got the OTP server working locally using these steps. I'll work on getting it hosted somewhere now.

:+1: Looks good. You may want to use the up to date GTFS though. Let me know if you need a copy.

Also let me know the IP. I'm gonna register a domain.

I have it running here right now http://52.205.168.131:8080/ Let me know if you want it running on a different port
