Clarify Event types pause/stop and resume/start

[edwinvandenbelt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a city, I would like to get insights into the intermediate destinations of station-based assets. In most cases, station-based assets are returned to the original station.

Describe the solution you'd like

These movements can only be detected by tracing where the assets are locked (=pauzed) during the trip. Add at least 'pauzed' to the vehicle_event: https://github.com/openmobilityfoundation/mobility-data-specification/blob/main/general-information.md#event-types

Is this a breaking change

• I'm not sure

Impacted Spec

• provider

Describe alternatives you've considered

Demand in the trips endpoint that locations that are used as stops, must be provided in the route field.

In Event Types, there are some values that may be equivalent for pausing trips.

https://github.com/openmobilityfoundation/mobility-data-specification/blob/main/modes/event_types.md

For example trip_pause, trip_resume, reservation_stop, etc.

How is your idea different that what these provide now?

ha ha ha! They are already added on the 25th of April by Kegan. What's the formal process? Should I close this issue? btw. what's the difference between 'trip_end' and 'trip_stop'?

[schnuerle]

It's not totally clear in the descriptions, but I think it is in each mode. trip_stop is a temporary vehicle full stop, and trip_pause is some reason the trip needs to be paused for some mode. Really I do think this is confusing and either needs to be clarified or consolidated into just trip_pause...
