Transit-Map
Animates vehicles on a map using public transport timetables to interpolate their positions along routes.
What is Transit-Map?
Transit Map is a server and client application that creates animated simulations of public transport networks on interactive maps. It uses timetable data to calculate and display the real-time positions of vehicles along their routes, providing a visual tool for monitoring transit operations. The project supports both GTFS-standard feeds and custom network data.
Transportation agencies, urban planners, developers, and hobbyists who need to visualize and simulate public transport networks for analysis, public information, or integration into websites.
It offers a ready-to-deploy, customizable solution for animating transit data without requiring complex GIS software, with live examples powering national and city transport networks across Europe.
