OneBusAway Development Agenda Version of June 2014 The table below outlines ongoing and planned enhancements to OneBusAway (OBA) by the OneBusAway community. This information evolves continuously; interested parties are invited to contribute to the discussion on the onebusaway-developers list. Item Upgrades and Security Operations – Hot Bundle Swapping Upgrade OBA Server to SIRI API Significance Ensure that OneBusAway is maintained as a rocksolid, industrial-strength software platform that provides reliable service in the most demanding environments. Enable OneBusAway to operate without any interruption as schedule (GTFS) and other data are updated. Zero down-time provides the best possible service to transit riders. Enhance and upgrade the application programming interfaces to SIRI, an international open data and interoperability standard. Technical Description Continuously upgrade underlying tools and components, and ensure resistance to denial-ofservice and other forms of attack. Current items include Java 7 support and addressing potential Struts vulnerabilities. Migrate the hot bundle swapping capabilities of OBANYC into the OBA core. Move to a SIRI V3 API for the OBA server, with the existing OBA V2 deprecated but still available to support existing mobile applications Benefits all OneBusAway users by ensuring access to the most modern and innovative tools and thirdparty apps. Port the Native Apps to Use the SIRI API The native OBA apps are an essential part of the customer experience for many users. Once the above change is complete, these apps should be updated to use the new SIRI Application Programming Interface. Re-engineer the Android, iPhone, and Windows apps to use the SIRI V3 API, enabling the OBA V2 API to be retired. Comments / Status Continuous attention to these issues ensures a stable and reliable platform. Status: Underway Target: Continuous Sponsor: All Tested and proven in New York City. Status: Underway Sponsors: Sound Transit, HART Target: Q3, 2014 The existing OBA API has served the project well, but compliance with the standard is essential for the long-term viability of the project. Status: Underway Sponsor: OBA Target: Not scheduled Status: In planning Sponsor: None as yet Target: Not scheduled Incorporate enhancements from MTA Bus Time Expanded AVL Support Operations: Data Preparation Operations: Monitoring & Uptime Data Integration with Open Trip Planner (OTP) Updated Documentation Continue to Maintain the Native iPhone, Android, and Windows Apps Incorporate Additional Tools for Riders with Disabilities The New York City deployment includes new web/mobile and SMS applications, archiving, and many other functions that can be made available free of charge to other agencies. The New York City version of the web application needs a small amount of additional work to support standard AVL data feeds “out of the box.”. Enable agencies using OneBusAway to more easily prepare and deploy schedule data from a variety of agencies. This is especially valuable in regions with more than one operating agency. Monitoring of real-time and schedule data feeds to ensure consistent operation and quality. Integration of data sources supporting OTP and OBA. Enables agencies to provide customers with more and better information services, at lower cost. Ongoing efforts to keep documentation updated are essential to ensure a robust, commercially viable platform. The native apps are widely used and need to be kept stable and up-to-date and accessible for blind and low vision riders. Dedicated applications can make transit significantly more usable for riders with vision, mobility, and other impairments and disabilities. Merge the OBA-NYC-API with the core (already in progress). This will allow mix/matching of services between OBA NYC and OBA core (such as using the OBA NYC Web App.) Status: Underway Sponsor: OBA Target: Q4, 2014 Make the OBA-NYC-API work (with minimal configuration) against a standard AVL source Status: Operational Prototype Sponsor: OBA Target: Not scheduled Complete the UI for bundle building for any agency/combination of agencies (in progress for Sound Transit, not completely generic though) Status: Operational for NY MTA, Underway for Sound Transit Sponsor: Sound Transit Target: Q3, 2014 Watchdog/monitoring service to track real-time feeds and static data sources and expose metrics via web services. Dataset integration of OBA/OTP: pulling data from common sources, building graph/bundles from those shared sources and deploying in synchronization. The OBA wiki will be continuously updated and revised with assistance from the developer community. Status: Underway Sponsor: Sound Transit Target: Q2, 2014 Perform periodic maintenance and updates to be compatible with OS updates and other platform changes. A research prototype version of the StopInfo tool for blind and low vision riders that provides very detailed stop information is operational for King County Metro. Status: Continuous Sponsor: OBA developer community -2- Status: In Design Sponsor: Sound Transit Target: Q3, 2014 Status: Continuous Sponsor: All Status: Seeking funding for longterm deployment of StopInfo. Additional applications are in the research phase.
