Pendelstrecke is a tool for visualizing the time needed for commuting trips within the VVS on a map. VVS is the local public transport in Stuttgart.
The python script queries the VVS API for a trip from each station to one or more specified destination stations and saves the resulting data to a file. These results can then be viewed on a map. For every station, a colored marker indicates the duration that a commute to the destination will take from this location. Additionally, it is possible to filter the displayed stations by the number of changes needed for a connection.
- Download the CSV file containing all VVS stations.
- Supply all configuration values, especially the path to your CSV file, in
pendelstrecke/config.yaml. The destination station IDs can be obtained from the CSV file as well. - Install all dependencies and execute the script, e.g. by using the following commands.
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt --no-cache-dir
cd pendelstrecke/
python3 main.py
- Open
map/index.htmlin your web browser to view your results on the map. The navigation bar on the top can be used to switch between the specified destination stations.
