Description
The user can manage Shapes in a dedicated referential (like stop areas or lines). Shapes are not included into each data set (with Routes, Journey Patterns, etc) but can exist separately.
Base Shape Management
The user can list the Shapes present into the Shape Referential, by default, only the Shapes associated to its Workbench.
...
an oriented geometry
an optional name
codes of several kinds (like “gtfs”, “kml”, etc) to identify the Shape in several contexts
remaining references (to be associated automatically with data set resources)
Associate shapes with data set resources
Each Shape contains be associated to one or more data set resources like Journey Patterns, and next, Routes, Lines and Vehicle Journeys.
...
If requested, the operation will wait the user validation, especially to resolve associations with multiple solutions.
GTFS support
The GTFS import creates or updates Shapes.
...
Reference: GTFS shapes.txt specifications
KML support
The user can import one or several shapes by using a KML file, or a zip file containing KML files.
...
Reference: KML specifications
Shapefile support
The user can import shapes by using a Shapefile (a ZIP file containing shp, dbf, … files). Each Record present into the file is used to create/update a Shape.
...
After the import, the Controls / Compliance Check Sets are not executed.
NeTEx support
When the NeTEx profile supports shapes, the NeTEx Chouette import and exports use ServiceLinks to describe the detailed shape of the different links (between ScheduledStopPoints).

Work in progress - We’re working on a publishable proposal which describes our Shape Editor wire frames. |
...
split the Shape geometry into independent sections
edit manually a section
use a routing engine for automatic section
Automatic Shape creation
Chouette SaaS will provide an operation to create shapes required by the Data Set resources (mainly Journey Patterns and Vehicle Journeys in same case).
...
By default, the created Shapes will be in a “in creation” status and the user will be able to validate these automatic shapes and their associations.
Shape controls
The controls dedicated to the Shapes will provide a way to ensure that:
wanted Data resources have an associated Shape
minimum distances between Stop Areas and Shapes are correct
selected shapes are close to the returned solution by a routing engine
…
Milestones (updated)
Essential support (Roadmap 2020 Q3): Shapes associated to Journey Patterns. With GTFS import & export support.
