GTFS-R TripDescriptor

Open stephenmcbride opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to post this but I'm trying to identify how the TripDescriptor is used (or perhaps it's not?) when fetching GTFS-R trip updates data using node-gtfs. I was expecting to see a similarly named field within the trip_updates table but there is no sign of it. It seems as far as I can understand that without TripDescriptor there is no way of knowing if a trip has been canceled - but perhaps I'm wrong?

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks for pointing this out - currently the library doesn't save TripDescriptor to the database. I'll work on getting this added.

Hi, may I ask, how is this feature improvement going? It would be great to have TripDescriptor in trip_updates to recognize if the trip was canceled. :)

I updated the GTFS-Realtime importing feature to include schedule_relationship fields in the trip_updates and stop_time_updates` tables, so you can now tell if a trip is:

  • SCHEDULED
  • ADDED
  • UNSCHEDULED
  • CANCELED

Additionally, these tables now have fields for trip_start_time, direction_id and route_id.

Check out the latest version and let me know if this has everything needed.
