(TO BE DEVELOPED...)
The Warsaw Public Transport Dashboard is an interactive data visualization project that streams real-time information about public transport buses and trams in Warsaw. It provides a live view of bus and tram locations, as well as detailed route information. This README serves as a guide to set up and run the project, whether you want to use Kafka for local development or leverage Google Pub/Sub for production deployment.
The project gathers data from https://api.um.warszawa.pl/ to capture real-time information about the location of public transport buses and trams in Warsaw. It offers the following key features:
- Real-time tracking of bus and tram locations.
- Visualization of bus and tram routes.
- Interactive dashboard for exploring public transport data.
If you want to run this project locally using Kafka for data streaming, follow the steps outlined in the Create pub sub kafka locally section. This section will guide you through the installation of necessary components, running Kafka, and configuring the project to consume data from the Kafka topic.
For production deployment or if you want to leverage the capabilities of Google Pub/Sub for data streaming, refer to the Google Cloud Pub/Sub documentation. This guide will walk you through setting up a Google Cloud project, creating a Pub/Sub topic, and configuring your project to publish and consume data using Google Pub/Sub.
In addition to real-time tracking, this project also offers functionality to capture and draw tram and bus routes from the gathered data. To draw routes and get bus stops localisation explore creating_routes_with_bus_stops
