notice

Unfortunately, this tool does not work anymore, since the access to the IDOS API was restricted. However, if you have a valid API key, it should be OK. If not, check https://traveltime.com/ for better UX :) (not mine, I just like the tool).

idos-time

A simple tool for visualising Prague public transport time for a selected stop.

IDOS (Chaps) has a public API for Prague public transport (PID; without trains, sadly). You can search for a connection or whatever you'd like. I wanted to see how far can I get from my flat to any place in 30 minutes. So I made this. No guarantee whatsoever is granted.

Public documentation of the aforementioned API can be found here: https://crws.docs.apiary.io

Approximately 1 request per second is permitted by the API. Running multiple scripts communicating with the API won't help anything.

Usage:

• Compile the Fortran utility ;).

• Load stops from IDOS using stops.py.

• Optionally: Filter them using filter_stops.py (restrict the area by latitude and longitude of left bottom and right top corner).

• Select a stop.

• Run time_map.py, for example like this python time_map.py from "Můstek"

• Run draw_map.py.

• Run the Fortran utility, for example like this ./idos-map -i data/from/draw_map.dat -o time_map.map -s stop_map.map -r 1024

• Run draw_map_from_data.py or draw_comparison.py.

Some specification of input files is probably needed inside the script files.
