About The Project

OpenLinePlanner Screen Shot

Its main purpose is to prototype public transport lines on the open field, analyse the station coverage and find the optimal station position.

The tool allows to save configurations fast and export all results to a printable pdf.

It is build to be extendable and easy to adjust, to be applicable in different scenarios.

Built With

This project was build with:

Vue Vite Rust Matomo

And deployed with:

Docker

(back to top)

Usage

OpenLinePlanner allows you to

... draw schematic transportation lines on map
... name lines and stations
... give a custom color to each line
... analyse coverage area of stations
... export map and analysis as PDF
... automatically locate new stations, based on predicted demand

Calculation Methods

By default OpenLinePlanner is configured to show the absolute amount of residences living in the coverage area of each station. Every person in the influence radius of the station (default 500m) is rated with the weight of 1. i.e. if 200 people life in the influence are the result is a score of 200

Alternatively a relative measurement can be applied (Settings). This approach takes the distance between station and the home of a potential passenger into account:

// Calculation methods:
absolute: 1;
relative: 1 / sqrt(distance);

If your scenario requires adjusted parameters please reach out! (Contact via Email) Further adjustment dialogs are planned to be implemented if requested.

Setting up Developing Environment

This is a short guide to setup your own development environment of OpenLinePlanner.

  1. To start of clone the Repo:
    $ git clone https://github.com/TheNewCivilian/OpenLinePlanner.git

Backend Setup

The backend can be build running

  1. Build backend

    $ cd openlineplanner-backend
    $ cargo build --release
  2. Gather data files from OpenPopulationEstimator (inhabitants geojson) and e.g. Protomaps (pbf file of region)

  3. Add ./settings/Settings.toml e.g.

     [data]
     residence = "./data/residence.geojson"
     osm = "./data/Wien_Donaustadt.osm.pbf"
  4. Install backend binaries

    $ cargo install --path .
  5. Startup Backend (Takes some minutes on first startup)

    $ openlineplanner-backend

Frontend Setup

All environment variables are automatically loaded by VITE from the available .env files. If you need to adjust ports or endpoints check these files.

  1. Install all NPM packages
    $ yarn
  2. Start development server
    $ yarn dev
