OneBusAway Deployments
This page describes and links to the various OneBusAway deployments around the world.
This is the original OneBusAway installation, for the Seattle/Puget Sound region. It accepts data from all of the transit operators in the area, but at this time is hosted/supported/maintained by the University of Washington. It uses the core OneBusAway code/modules only.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, by partnering with a team of contractors, is using OneBusAway as the server/back-end at the heart of its real-time bus tracking and customer information initiative, dubbed "MTA Bus Time".
It uses some parts of the OneBusAway core, but has extended it substantially to handle a wide range of new requirements, as described at OneBusAway and OneBusAway NYC
The Detroit Department of Transportation uses OneBusAway to power its new TextMyBus application and to provide an open developer API. This was executed through a partnership with Code For America
OneBusAway presents an ideal platform to allow RTPI to be rolled out to the small local centres of New Zealand. Due to the small population base outside the three main centres (Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch) traditional RTPI systems have proved to be completely unaffordable - hence a solution based on OneBusAway.
Using the OneBusAway-NYC branch we have a demonstration system including the web application, api and sms components. Live tracking is done via the HTTP interface within the vehicle-tracking webapp via Android handsets and a custom hardware solution. Current efforts are concentrating on running a trial live installation for one of the 14 regional councils.
The Center for Urban Transportation at the University of South Florida is working on a research project, funded by the National Center for Transit Research, based on the OneBusAway project. An early version of the site is available at http://www.usf.edu/onebusaway, which provides real-time data for Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) in Tampa, FL. A GTFS-realtime feed is powering this OneBusAway instance, implemented in the HART-GTFS-realtimeGenerator project. This software does the HART Orbital OrbCAD AVL-to-GTFS-realtime conversion, and is open-source on Github. Full technical details on the Tampa OBA deployment are available on the OBA Tampa wiki page.
OneBusAway Atlanta was launched from the Urban Transportation Information Lab (UTIL), run by Dr. Kari Watkins at Georgia Tech. Near-term goals for this implementation are to include real-time information (schedules for those agencies without AVL) for multiple agencies within the Atlanta region including Cobb Community Transit, GRTA Xpress, GCT, CATS and shuttle operators (such as universities and the Atlantic Station shuttle).
