Urbica OpenTripPlanner Docker image

OpenTripPlanner (OTP) is a family of open source software projects that provide passenger information and transportation network analysis services. The core server-side Java component finds itineraries combining transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and car segments through networks built from widely available, open standard OpenStreetMap and GTFS data. This service can be accessed directly via its web API or using a range of Javascript client libraries, including modern reactive modular components targeting mobile platforms.

Usage

Build the docker image from the Dockerfile:

docker build -t my_docker_id/otp .

Build graphs using GTFS and OSM extract in the current directory:

docker run \
-v $PWD/graphs:/var/otp/graphs \
-e JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx4G \
my_docker_id/otp --build \
--save /var/otp/graphs/city_name

Run OTP server by loading the graph, and exposing OTP's port 8080 to our machine's port 8080:

docker run \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $PWD/graphs:/var/otp/graphs \
  -e JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx4G \
  my_docker_id/otp --load /var/otp/graphs/city_name/

It seems Analyst API have been removed in this version.

Basic Tutorial

Based on OpenTripPlanner Basic Tutorial.

Get some data

Clone this repo to your machine.

git clone https://github.com/ikespand/docker-otp
cd docker-otp

Get GTFS for Transit Schedules and Stops (As a sample for Portland),

mkdir -p ./graphs/portland
wget "http://developer.trimet.org/schedule/gtfs.zip" -O ./graphs/portland/trimet.gtfs.zip

Get OpenStreetMap extract for the streets. osmconvert step is used to reduce the data size, you can skip this step if you've allocated sufficient memory to your docker. Otherwise download osmconvert.

wget http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/oregon-latest.osm.pbf
osmconvert oregon-latest.osm.pbf -b=-123.043,45.246,-122.276,45.652 --complete-ways -o=portland.pbf
mv portland.pbf ./graphs/portland

Start up OTP

Build the docker image from the Dockerfile:

docker build -t ikespand/otp .

Build graphs using GTFS and OSM extract in the current directory:

docker run \
 -v $PWD/graphs:/var/otp/graphs \
 -e JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx4G \
 ikespand/otp --build \
 --save /var/otp/graphs/portland

Run OTP server by loading the graph, and exposing OTP's port 8080 to our machine's port 8080:

docker run \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $PWD/graphs:/var/otp/graphs \
  -e JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx4G \
  ikespand/otp --load /var/otp/graphs/portland

Alternatively, modify the docker-compose.yml and then execute:

docker-compose up

The graph build operation should take about one minute to complete, and then you'll see a Grizzly server running message. At this point you have an OpenTripPlanner server running locally and can open http://localhost:8080/ in a web browser. You should be presented with a web client that will interact with your local OpenTripPlanner instance.

This map-based user interface is in fact sending HTTP GET requests to the OTP server running on your local machine. It can be informative to watch the HTTP requests and responses being generated using the developer tools in your web browser.

Resources

There are a number of different resources available through the HTTP API. Besides trip planning, OTP can also look up information about transit routes and stops from the GTFS you loaded and return this information as JSON. For example:

Get a list of all available routers: http://localhost:8080/otp/routers/default/
Get a list all GTFS routes on the default router: http://localhost:8080/otp/routers/default/index/routes
Find all stops on TriMet route 52: http://localhost:8080/otp/routers/default/index/routes/TriMet:52/stops
Find all routes passing though TriMet stop ID 7003: http://localhost:8080/otp/routers/default/index/stops/TriMet:7003/routes
Return all unique sequences of stops on the TriMet Green rail line: http://localhost:8080/otp/routers/default/index/routes/TriMet:4/patterns
