Road Traffic Accidents in GM

Bus Routes• We have now identified and tested an efficient and effective

methodology to create an open data version of the bus route mapping, with approval from OS. This open data version is based upon the OS VMD road network dataset, which is itself a free open data product.

• The data we propose to release would:

– be published in multiple GIS file formats such as Google Earth (.kml), MapInfo (.tab), and ESRI (.shp);

– contain a separate route line for each bus service;

– contain attribute information such as route number and description.

– 1:25,000 scale OS VectorMap District

Car Parks Real-Time Data Feeds

• Proposal to release car parks data: location, capacity and real-time data feeds showing number of available spaces

• Feeds are generated every 10 minutes.

• Available in a lightweight JSON format

• Awaiting for a costed proposal from database supplier

• Budget has been identified

• Awaiting approval

• Approximately 1 week development work

• Target release date – August 2012

Metroshuttle Real-Time Location Data

• Discussions with Actia

• Received proposal

• Posted proposal on Open Data GM Google Discussion Board

• Gathered comments from open data community and entered into further discussions with Actia

• Discussions with Microsoft over hosting real-time data in the cloud (Windows Azure) (TfL approach)

• Release target date – August 2012

Metroshuttle Real-Time Data Challenges

• Limited real time data available

• The position of the bus, stationary/moving

• Every 60 sec

• Possibly bus running board route information

• 3 floating buses that can do any route

Metroshuttle Real-Time Data Challenges

• Data may take 60 sec to arrive on TfGM site

• Data will be time stamped

• GPS location data may suffer drift

• Stop information, schedule & route currently available

• Buses park at station prior to start of each service

Metrolink Real-Time Feeds from Passenger Information Displays Information derived from the Tram Management System

Stage 1.

Feed of display information for each stop

Will come on line as each stop feed comes on line

Structured as a display feed

Target date September 2012

Stage 2.

SIRI real time feed providing complete schedule/Real time feed

Target Spring 2013

Real-time architecture

• TfGM working with Microsoft to develop an information architecture that is suitable to host real-time data

• Hosted in the cloud – Windows Azure

• Always up/available

• Unlimited storage

• Enables quick deployment

TfGM will support developers where we can

We want this to work for Manchester
