A control list is a set of rules specific to your business needs and constraints allowing to validate your transport data. You will find below some concrete examples illustrating the creation of control lists in specific contexts. More details on the use of Control Sets are available in the Control Sets User Manual.

GTFS format rules control list

If you want to publish data in GTFS format, you can add the following checks to ensure that the format rules are respected by your data:

Transport

  • Presence of attribute: URL

  • Presence of attribute: Time Zone

Line

  • Presence an attribute: Transport mode

Stop Area

  • Presence of the attribute: Coordinates

NB: the mandatory fields concerning the identifiers are taken into account natively by Chouette. Objects are not imported or exported if their identification or their references to other objects are not handled by Chouette.

If needed, the GTFS Reference https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference.

And the documentation of Chouette on its GTFS Export, will allow you to identify other useful rules according to your context.
