Some terminal stops not being recorded

Closed this issue · 3 comments

A quick look at parts of the #94 show that the ossington station stop is not being recorded very well. Surely the whole trip is being made, but the stop is not being recorded for many trips. Why is this? This is probably indicative of broader problems.

Suggestion: when trips are broken, a gap is formed between two vehicle reports. Perhaps just spanning the gap would help make the final connection.

Indeed, the problem seems to be that a trip is broken AT the terminal, meaning the segment connecting the trips to those points is broken.

Possibly, this could be fixed by giving terminal stops (or all stops?) a larger distance within which they can snap to the trip.

This will be a problem for default geometries especially. And the solution suggested by those cases is different. If the terminal stop is reasonably close to the last vehicle, simply run it forward at a plausible speed until it reaches the stop.

I'm closing this and splitting it into separate issues in a sec.
