Tomorrow morning Saturday 18 November Sydney Trains GTFS-R feed will have additional transposition types enabled.
Vehicle_model designating fleet type will be added to sydney trains vehpos feed and will be able to be updated in realtime.
Eg:
vehicle {
[transit_realtime.tfnsw_vehicle_descriptor] {
vehicle_model: “B”
}
}
The number of carriages can also change, which can derived from the CarriageDescriptor list using the list size or the ‘position_in_consist’ field.
No outage to the GTFSR is expected for this change
