Exports

Description

Export allows you to extract files from your database within several formats (GTFS, NeTEx, Ara).

Consult the Exports

You can see the exports made by your organization in “Workbench” - “Exports”.

For each export: Status, Name, Export type, Referential, Started at, Duration, Created by, are displayed.

You can filter the exports by:

  • their name

  • status

  • export type

  • beginning

For each export the star wheel of every export allows to launch the accessible actions (see, download).

Launch an export

To export the data from Chouette, you need to click on “New export” and fill in the template.

All exports offer to filter the exported data:

  • over a given number of days

  • on a static period

  • by keeping data only related to a Line, Carrier or Data Provider

Depending on the type of export requested, additional options may be offered.

When the export is finished you can download the file.

You receive a notification by email after the export is finished.

GTFS Export

A GTFS export is a zip file that will contain .txt files respecting the GTFS format.

The specification of the data exported from Chouette to the GTFS can be found in the document GTFS Export

The GTFS export contains format-specific options.

Prefer referent stop areas: if a stop has a referent then this one takes its place in the exported data

Prefer referent companies: if a company has a referent then this one takes its place in the exported data

Prefer referent lines: if a line has a referent then this one takes its place in the exported data

Ignore parent Stop Places: exported data won’t include Parent Stop Places.

Ignore extended route types: replace the GTFS extended route types by matching basic route types during the export.

NeTEx Export

A NeTEx export is a zip file that will contain XML files organized according to the selected profile (and associated XSDs)

 

The NeTEx export contains format-specific options.

Profile: Several profiles can be used in the NeTEx export

 

  • Prefer Referent Lines : If a Line has a referent, the referent will take its place in the exported data.

  • Ignore Referent Stop Areas : if a Stop Area has a referent, the referent won’t be included in the NeTEx export.

  • Skip Line Resources: the NeTEx export won’t include Lines, LineNotices, Companies, and Networks.

  • Skip Stop Area Resources: the NeTEx export won’t include Stop Areas and Entrances.

  • Exported Code Space : If you want to export a specific code space. To know more about code spaces, read the page: Managing Codes with Chouette

You can also define:

  • a Participant Ref value

  • NeTEx profile settings

Ara Export

An Ara export is a CSV file containing data from the selected repository in Ara format which can then be used for real time.

Automatic purge of old exports

Chouette keeps the history of workbench exports and associated files.

This retention is limited in time: after a period of 90 days the exports are automatically deleted.
