Display of delayed and too early vehicles
leonardehrenfried opened this issue · comments
In our downstream fork we have adjusted the display of the delay information in the following way:
The code to show the crossed out original time somewhat already there but the required field departureDelay was never requested from the server. We corrected this in stadtnavi#749 (original issue with more screenshots and discussion) and also added some styling, namely we made the delays red, rather than the "realtime green".
We would also like to show the same information for the arrival time at the destination (the "15:20" at the bottom in the above screenshot) but right now this time refers to the start of the next leg, in this case the bike one.
We are wondering if we could perhaps collaborate with you on this issue and could come up with solution that satisfies both requirements.
Are you interested in this visualisation and if not, would you accept a config setting that switches between one or the other look?
Sorry for the delay on response due to holiday season. I'll ask our design if they have considered these options.
Putting this feature behind a config options would probably be ok as long as it doesn't complicate the code too much.
This approach was considered at the beginning of the digitransit design process years ago. The reason why it wasn't put into use was that there are constantly minor 1-2 minute changes in realtime estimates vs scheduled timetables which could confuse users if shown. However, we will consider if this display could be used for longer delays or for certain modes. Monitors at train stations in Finland use this approach (although they only show delays longer than 3 mins if I remember correctly) so it might make sense for us to use it for trains.
