OV Timetable Graph

This repository contains the code for my website's OV Timetable Graph thingy. It going to show a cool graph with a live feed of all the trips between your favorite train/bus/tram/metro/ferry/etc stops in the Netherlands.

I would advice against using this for anything of your own, it's specifically made for my use-case (the website). The tool uses the GTFS feed provided by the OVapi. This means that it needs to parse a proto2 protobuf file. I could not for the life of me find out how to get php to parse one, so we're doing it in Python lol. My website is hosted on a Strato server which I don't have full control over. I have absolutely no clue how to compile C or C++ for it, so I decided to use Python.

Both this text and graph are very outdated, this project is still somewhere on my todo list. One day it will happen

Here's a graph of how it kinda works or something here you go:

    flowchart LR
    api[OVapi]
    stopFile{{stopTrips.dat}}


    api --> schedule
    api --> realtime
    subgraph schedule[GTFS Schedule]
        trips{{trips.txt}}
        routes{{routes.txt}}
        %% stops{{stops.txt}}
        times{{stop_times.txt}}
    end

    cspy(convertSchedule.py)

    times --> cspy
    cspy --> stopFile

    subgraph realtime[GTFS Realtime]
        tripUpdates{{tripUpdates.pb}}
    end

    realtime --> protopy[realtimeProto.py]

    php(php)
    trips --> php
    routes --> php
    stopFile --> php
    protopy --> php

    php --> scheduleGraph{{Schedule Graph}}
    scheduleGraph --> user
