ITO & NaPTAN ViewerTools to Help Manage NaPTAN & Locality Data London & South East May 2009
NaPTANs & Locality Data • Both NaPTAN & Locality data underpin travel information and EBSR systems • EBSR is based on NaPTANs • Route is defined using NaPTANs • Data needs to be accurate and consistent • Often needs clarification during the process of conversion from paper to EBSR • Links between NaPTANs and Localities are important for correct positioning of stops, stop names, accurate trip planning (esp. Car) etc. • ITO and NaPTAN Viewer tools have been developed to help manage this data
ITO & NaPTAN Viewer • Both systems are availabe to those needing to use and manage NaPTAN data • ITO system • Mapping and Analysis tool • Maps NaPTANs, Localities etc. • Provides a series of warnings where data appears to be inconsistent • NaPTAN Viewer • Mapping system • Displays details of NaPTANs, Loclaities etc.
ITO Warnings and Stop Naming • ITO highlights issues with NaPTANs:- • Various checks against NaPTAN & NPTG Schemas • Location Issues • Naming Issues • Format of Stop Names • Stop Names need to be logical and consistent for travel information • Give clear information to users • Standard format of stop names:- • EBSR • Locality, CommonName, Indicator • Transport Direct Portal • Locality, CommonName, Indicator, (on Street) [SMSCode]
Locality Checks in ITO • The ITO Viewer shows the extent of localities • Draws a border around NaPTANs associated with each locality • This can be useful in identifying problems in the association of NaPTANs with localities • Localities across rivers • “Spikes” in locality shapes • Overlapping localities • Other anomalies
New ITO Functions and Tests • View Stop Areas • Shows & Checks Bearings for Stop Points • Show Hail & Ride Sections • Show Flexible Zones • Tests for Hail & Ride Sections • More than 1 km in length • Valid start, end and intermediate points • Tests for Stops within 4 metres of each other (2 metres for BCS point)
Flexible Service Zones
