How realtime vehicle classification can improve traveling with public transport

Writer here. As someone who spends a lot of time in public transport I am always disappointed in current public transport planners, since they are ‘static’ and can’t handle well disruptions.

I created the public transport assistant concept to explore the possible advantages of live location data within public transport and to investigate the possibility of creating a more dynamic route planner. For example, once we know in which train a passenger is, we can check when this train will arrive at a certain station and act upon it.

My next step will be to create a minimum viable product that encapsulates a basic route planning system (e.g. OpenTripplanner) and the described vehicle classification system.

Let me know what you think, feedback is always welcome!
