Compliance of real time data
The real-time data for each service is assessed to review the health and compliance in the following ways:
Completeness - is the data published?
Accuracy - Real time data published to BODS is used by a diverse set of consumers that rely on 'ready to match', high quality data, using three key elements:
-
National Operator code.
-
Line ref.
-
Dated vehicle journey ref.
The matching report ensures that all consumers can easily use these three elements to confidently present real time data directly to passengers.
Existing journey planners, the BODS GTFS-RT output, and ABODS are highly engineered to overcome matching issues that are present in the data using additional data elements.
The purpose of this report is to highlight cases where matching requires additional engineering steps that are beyond the three key elements listed.
Please contact your supplier or our helpdesk to resolve the cases identified within the report.
