New experimental region

[Md Saroar Jahan]

Hello,

I have setup an OneBusAway server for Adelaide Metro. The installation is using live feed from Adelaide Metro. The installation has been tested using the Android app and working as expected.

How can I add this server in the experimental region? I am also aiming for a production deployment.

Any direction from here would be much appreciated.

Regards

Saroar

Saroar - great!  

So that we can add Adelaide as an experimental region, please send me an email with the information on the "Instructions" tab of this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11WpYOQn__NDjtvWgW0tjyqeLFoqxnZmmjklF9yP9ioU/edit#gid=1

You've probably already got this, but in case not, here is the procedure for moving to a production region: https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway/wiki/Multi-Region

   thanks,

    Alan

You are now listed as experimental in the regions directory! Congrats!

If you have any modifications/improvements that you'd like to give
back to the community please send me a PR!

Thanks Sheldon for your quick action. I can now see the region in the app!

Among other changes, there is couple of changes required to consume the GTFS real-time feed which may be useful for others. Adelaide Metro is publishing the transit feed in GTFS Realtime v 2.0 specification. They are publishing the feed through REST API and responding as 'application/x-google-protobuf'. I have made the following changes to the OneBusAway codebase to make it working:

- Added configuration support to specify the gtfs_realtime_version (default as 2.0)

- Added configuration support to specify the accept mime type header for real-time polling

If you think these changes are helpful, I am happy to create a PR. I have a forked repo. This forked repo has brand specific changes (logo, etc). I think that I may need to create a branch in original repo, commit the change and create a PR. I probably need to create an issue as well. Please guide me for the PR process.

Hi all - I've been corresponding with Saroar in Adelaide, Australia about moving their OneBusAway instance to production status.  Saroar says it's in good shape, and trying it on my own phone it looks good as well.  So please give a shout if you have concerns, and otherwise we'll move this to production.

   thanks,

   Alan

Hi Alan,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, things are going pretty interesting here. I have rebranded OneBusAway android app as MyMetro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.mymetro.android). There is an app landing page here https://mymetro.au.

It would be great if this region is integrated with OneBusAway android and iOS. I have a plan to rebrand the iOS app as well. Within next year we want to add more Australian regions into this system.

If you think that we have done significant utlisation of OneBusAway platform in Australia region, please consider adding this as a case study on OneBusAway site.

Regards

Saroar

Hi Saroar - I'm sorry for the delay in following up!  How have things been going with the Adelaide installation?  If it's still working fine I think it's ready to move to being a production region.

   cheers, and happy holidays!

Hi Sheldon and Alan,

I hope you are doing well. My experimental region has been running ok for several months. I think it is now time to move to production. 

Here is the details of my current setup:

- The core transit services (onebusaway-api-webapp, onebusaway-transit-data-federation-webapp and onebusaway-enterprise-acta-webapp and OTP) are running in Azure Linux VM

- I have a script which checks periodically (once every day) for update of gtfs data from the agency server. If a new version is published then the script updates the graph objects for both OBA and OTP and restarts the services. The restart is very quick (less than a minute)

- SMS and Twilio Phone apps are deployed in another Azure Linux VM

- I have integrated Azure Cognitive Text-to-Speech service in the onebusaway-twilio-webapp. A small Spring Boot service is hosted in Azure Container Services to perform the text-to-speech conversion

- The SMS app has been changed to use Twilio SMS service

- All the service endpoints are HTTPS

- The core services are up for more than 98% as per Azure SLA

My next plan is to bring this whole transit platform to the transport department. I have also planned to create branded OneBusAway mobiles apps.

Please let me know if the Adelaide Metro region is ready for production. If not, please advise me of the gaps.

Regards

Saroar

That’s awesome. Fully support!

Great - I'll work on getting Adelaide added as a production instance of OneBusAway.

Adelaide should now be live as a production region!  On the apps, it will show up as production the next time the app refreshes the regions list. 

[Md Saroar Jahan]

Thanks Alan and the team. We are proud to be a part of OneBusAway.
