[OSM-dev] How to get the order of bus stops in a bus route?

[Shuyan Chen]

Hi,Jonathan

Many thanks for all of these.

We have our own osm-based routing website, take a look at  http://www.fromtomap.com/.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Shuyan

Hi Shuyan,

see also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route
and instead of implementing your own pathfinding algorithm, take a look first at
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Traveling_salesman => OSMNavigation, the path finding library used by Traveling Salesman ( a frontend).. the library relies on libOsm for querying osm data.

if OSMNavigation doesn't satisfies you because you can't hack it your way easily, then implement your own stuff.. but try not reinventing the wheel, if you can be lazy and program less and duplicate less that's cool

Take care,

Jonathan

  Hi,

  I don't know more about the tagging names.
  You should find ii) in big cities.

  Use http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bus
  and http://osmdoc.com/en/tags/

    Thanks for your comments.

    I just want to find a way to get ii) for a bus route in relations to implement path find algorithm.

    Hi,
    I am designing aloud, what do you think of this : 
    i) 1 bus stop = 1 node
    ii) 1 bus route from origin to destination = 1 relation containing : the origin->destination route way + the bus stops nodes for this route ; those stops may be a nodes of route way or nodes not contained in the route way but close by enough.

    Are there already any similar or different implementations of i) / ii) on osm.org data ?

    For ii) to work in path find algorithms, the latter should assume that an ii) node separate from the route that's being considered, can be replaced by the ii) node closest to the former separate ii) node.

    For example, if we just want to display a polyline / sub-way of BR route from A to B...
    ...here's one idea for a very simple use case where a user wants to go from bus stop A to bus stop B, A & B on a same bus route BR. 

    1) starting node is A, destination node is B, directions steps is empty
       append A to directions nodes
       append B to directions nodes
    2) directions finding, every following appending equals appending [A, [here,...] ,B], without touching A and B :
       if A is not part of BR's way, then make the directions finding algorithm origin point be the closest node to A on BR way that is also closest in route distance to B; end if
       same for B, make algorithm's destination point be the closest node to B on BR way that is also closest in route distance to A
    3)   run directions algorithm's and append nodes if any.. calculate estimate travel duration
    4) display polyline / way made up of [A,...intermediate nodes..,B]

      Dear all,

      I would like to get  the bus stops in order in a route for bus transit service ,including the bus route starting point and end point(bus station or terminus).

      Can anybody provide any ideas on how to achieve it? Thanks in advance.

      Regards,

      Shuyan
