Incorporar TODS al API #16
Description
Transit Operational Data Standard (TODS)
...is an open standard for describing how to operate scheduled transit operations which can be used to port scheduled operations between software products (e.g. scheduling systems and CAD/AVL systems), agencies, and more. TODS leverages the existing General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) and extends it to include information about personnel and non-revenue service.
Para extender Databús API a la mayor cantidad de escenarios posibles, incluyendo los datos operativos, TODS será la principal referencia, junto con ARC-IT. GTFS es exclusivo para información relevante para pasajeros.
Transit providers need the systems they use to schedule and operate their service to be interoperable so that they have the flexibility to use various software products and exchange information with other transit operators. Interoperability is best achieved through open standards. The GTFS open standard successfully transmits information useful to transit riders, but is missing key concepts that are necessary for transit providers to operate the service. TODS fills this gap.
