As an AMV solution, Pysae offers various connectors for displaying real-time data from your network, including GTFS-RT.
A GTFS-RT (or GTFS-realtime) feed provides your passengers with real-time information on :
Your scheduled arrival times,
The position of your vehicles,
Service disruptions.
It is based on a GTFS file describing theoretical lines and timetables, as it indicates the difference observed in relation to planned timetables.
In this article, you'll find information on :
Theoretical and real time data collection,
GTFS-RT flow generation,
The view in your supervision tools.
Theoretical and real-time data collection
To generate the GTFS-RT flow, Pysae collects data at four levels:
via the theoretical data (transport plan in GTFS format) that you have entered or imported directly into the interface.
contextual traffic information entered directly into the interface.
via real-time data (geolocation, scheduled times) generated by the Pysae Driver application in your vehicles.
via route modifications (cancellations, delays, changes to services) declared from the supervision platform.
Generating GTFS-RT feeds
Using these four pieces of information (vehicle data, transport plan, contextual information, and route changes), Pysae is able to generate GTFS-RT feeds via API that include three service elements:
Route updates: TripUpdates
Vehicle position: VehiclePositions
Service alerts: Alert
This feed is accessible every five seconds with no access restrictions and no cache system.
View in your monitoring tool
On the left side menu of your interface, hover over “Passenger information” and click on “GTFS-RT.” Here, you can find all the information about your feed.
In this view, you can find:
the link to your GTFS-RT feed,
links to your three service elements (route changes, vehicle locations, incidents),
your GTFS-RT version,
the link to access your transport plan (GTFS).
