Schedule viewer

[abyrd]

The Transitfeed project has a schedule viewer which it seems people are still using to perform "human in the loop" subjective validation of GTFS quality. https://github.com/google/transitfeed/wiki/ScheduleViewer

The docs mention Windows EXEs and Google Maps API keys, and based on the commit history it looks like it's been in bare-minimum maintenance mode for years.

We already have OTP UI elements for browsing trips and transfers that could be recycled. You can easily imagine an interface that lets you drill down / hop around various GTFS entities.

And of course we should have Marey charts for patterns and routes, single-station / station cluster charts of all arrivals or departures. And ideally visualizations of vehicle movement along a route as time progresses.

Here are some existing projects that provide visualization ideas: https://public.tableau.com/en-us/s/blog/2015/08/marey-inspired-path-train-schedule http://mbtaviz.github.io/

Also http://tracker.geops.ch/?z=16&s=1&x=-13626129.0577&y=4548993.2935&l=transport but animation and exact paths are less important, we can get the most value out of hyperlinked marey charts.

202 has moved the project in this direction, but perhaps not all of the features sought after in this ticket have been met. Potential gaps:

• [ ] viewing stop_times for a stop visible on the map (via popup perhaps)
• [ ] Marey chart (not pursued by initial client work)
