Progress Log - crola

Fellowships Season of Commits

Hello,
I’m Aayush, also known as crola.
I applied to FOSS United’s grants program earlier this year, and got in touch with @ansh and team last month.
I will be logging summaries of work updates and milestone progress here, with more details shared on my personal blog.
You can find more detailed milestone information on this blog post, however I will also briefly list down the milestones I have set forth in this post.
Milestones

  1. Public GTFS-RT Feed Infrastructure for Pune and Bengaluru
  2. Maharashtra State-level Transit GTFS (MSRTC operations), open-data
  3. Transitrouter GTFS-RT Support
  4. Scripts to Adjust GTFS Generation with GTFS-RT Snapshots
  5. Mapping of Transit Services, Boarding Zones, Agencies, and Paid & Unpaid Walking Zones at Kempegowda Station, Majestic

  • I contributed to TransitRouter with my changes being merged in PR#10 and PR#12.
  • I added shapes and updated data query mechanisms in ksrtc-gtfs to make this dataset more publish-ready.
  • I updated amd-gtfs’ generator to properly query data available, with more rigorous retry logic. This change was triggered after a resident from Ahmedabad notified me of issues in the dataset. I also added Gandhinagar services and I am working towards adding metro services if I can validate the data generated. To help with validating metro services and operations I forked an existing tool, available here.
  • I forked a currently closed-source repo (with intent to open it in the future) to set up a GTFS-RT feed for Pune buses. This mechanism currently needs work and I am still working on it. The data can be explored here, while data download information is outlined here.

  • I implemented GTFS-RT based live data in TransitRouter, merged in PR#13, PR#14, and PR#15. This also allows Delhi realtime data, published via a GTFS-RT feed on their open-data platform.
  • I investigated the pipeline for a potential MSRTC GTFS feed, while some data was procured, a complete feed seems unlikely given the current situation. I have published the current incomplete version on github.
  • I started work on the 4th milestone, adjusting GTFS datasets with realtime snapshots. Significant benefits are seen but more rigorous testing is needed before I can publish this.
  • I worked with Vonter to add Indian Railways realtime gtfs data, the realtime pipeline is now a multi-agency pipeline which can support multiple agencies and feeds.
  • I added realtime occupancy information to Bengaluru’s feed as well.
  • Some old projects previously used Carto raster tiles, I moved this to OpenFreeMap vector tiles.
  • I’ve modified sourcing data for bmtc-gtfs in a draft PR to a newer source in case the old source goes offline / becomes obsolete.
