LineShaper

Interactive tool for generating geographically accurate definitions of routes of the Integrated Transport System of the South Moravian Region created for the company KORDIS JMK, a.s.

The tool consists of two parts:

• Map Editor - Allows to manage, import and export the transport networks
• Line Router - Based on imported data about the transit system structure, it generates geographically accurate complex route definitions for individual lines. It also allows modification of the structure of the lines themselves.

Usage

1. In the api/.env file, set the DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD variables. If you want to use authentication, also set the EDITOR_USERS and ROUTER_USERS variables.
2. The tool can be run in 4 modes:
   • make fullAuth - Authentication is enabled for both map editing and line router
   • make noAuth - Authentication is disabled
   • make editorAuth - Authentication is enabled only for the map editor, line router is accessible without login
   • make routerAuth - Authentication is enabled only for line router, the map editor is accessible without logging in
3. After build and startup, the application runs on http://your_url:9001/lineShaper
4. Application can be stopped by make stop
5. If you want to run application on background, just add Prod to any configuration (e. make fullAuthProd)

Input Files

The Map Editor works with 3 separate transport networks, which can be created directly in the editor or imported from special .geojson files, examples of which are contained in the exampleFiles/editor folder. The Line Router works with two types of files:

• Structural files containing a description of the transport system. Attention! Due to the nature of internal Kordis system, provided example files Zastavky.txt, LineOrder.csv and LineLabels.csv has atypical encoding iso-8859-2. Fell free to use your files with standard UTF-8 encoding, but be careful about the files structure itself. The Zastavky.txt file contains the stops of the public transport system, the LineOrder.csv file contains the structure of the lines, and the optional LineLabels.csv file contains pairs of codes and actual labels for each line. Examples of all files are contained in the exampleFiles/router folder.
• In addition to the system structure, the line router operates within the line structure editing with waypoints for more accurate routing. These waypoints can be imported or exported to the midpoints.geojson file. An example of this file can be found in the exampleFiles/router folder.

The structure of all files is described in more detail in the attached user manual.
