[EN] Community EDR (Timetable screen for dispatchers) v2.0

[DeadlyKungFu.Ninja]

Hi !

 

We have developped a community Timetable screen for SimRail, it aims to change the game EDR on those aspects:

• More modern design
• Remove non used fields and condense some fields
• Give more informations
  • current delay, early
  • train type infos
  • ETA,
  • Closest station
• Search multiple trains
• Merge timetables for stations with multiple posts (Sosnowiec)
• Embed SimRailFR community map to see exactly where the train is
• Fade out train that have passed the station
• Filter only trains that are on the train line
• "Live" status update (train informations are updated every 5-10s)
• Bell sound when the train has to depart (opt in and per train)
• Dark mode
• Provide a RCS graph of the scheduled times

Demo video (if you have video editing skills, please help me 🤣)

 

 It is available as a web application here: https://edr.simrail.app/ 
Our goal is to ultimatly mod the game to make it available in game too, if you have such knowledge and you would like to contribute, please contact us 😄

King!!

 

Also, if need contact me on discord about those video editing skills. Might help. 😊

Amazing!
 

One small thing I noticed: on the server selection page the wrong flag is shown for the Dutch server

I'm pretty sure that's the flag for The Netherlands!

I know it isn't.

[DeadlyKungFu.Ninja]

Thats a pretty funny one ! 🤣


But I think its the game having issues recognizing either portugal or netherlands 😛 

I guess the true reason for this is that the old Portugal server was Recycled in the Netherlands server, but since the code is still "pt1", I still display the Portuguese flag 😄

Hello everyone, I'm one of the developers for this project (Tallyrald on Github).

Ah yes. I think my algorithm regarding that is incomplete.

The correct method is:
Travelling Down: Take arrival time first and the departure time.
Travelling Up: Take departure time first and the arrival  time.

What I did works well when the "to" cell from the EDR is a timetable available station, but it fails when its not (ex dandowka etc).

The correct fix for this issue would be to use the Pathfinding result of the train in order to find the next station, and thus, if he is going up or down.

I have logged the issue, thanks ! 

Remind trains on the graph mode they are not allowed to time travel - https://github.com/simrail/EDR/issues/8 

EDIT: Plus on the screenshot it is sosnowiec, wich probably is, I forgot S52 exists in the code I made, so when going Up the first post is S52, that is not mapped as a "true" post in my code, so not found in timetable data, so it defaults to the wrong mode. Using Pathfinding data instead of Timetable data for figuring out wether it is going up or down will fix this issue too

@DeadlyKungFu.Ninja as a suggestion, would it be possible to have the ECS Graph in a sort of way like this?

It would allow a better identification of trains instead of looking at the numbers below the graph also, could we have the graph window opening in another window? So we could make it bigger.

Thats a nice suggestion. For the train number I have looked about it, its a bit complicated but not impossible, I will log the enhancement but I think it needs some research. But I wished I could have shipped it with it on the first beta version of it 😄 

However, making a link to open it in anorther window should be pretty easy 🙂 

Here are the issues, thanks !

The graphical timetable is a really nice addition! Is it possible to switch the x- and y-axis? Because in some usecases the places are aligned left-to-right and the time runs top-to-bottom.

[efla83]

Bonjour une petite question, ou avez vous trouver les informations de connexion pour utiliser les informations de leur serveur ?

 

l’API ou chose de ce genre ?

 

merci pour votre travail

It is true, I think I can add customisations options indeed to make it possible to customize for local variants 🙂 I took the French way of doing it but this option would be nice.

Here is the linked issue if you want to follow progress: https://github.com/simrail/EDR/issues/12

Merci beaucoup ! 🙂
Les informations ne sont pas encore publiquement documentées, je les ait trouvés en regardant comment etait faite la carte en ligne officielle et en analysant les packets reseau avec WireShark.
Tu peux trouver tous les details de l'utilisation qu'on en faite ici: https://github.com/simrail/EDR/blob/master/backend/src/serverController.ts#L22 

Neanmoins, voici un petit resumé:
Informations sur les trains: https://panel.simrail.eu:8084/trains-open?serverCode=fr1
Informations sur les postes: https://panel.simrail.eu:8084/stations-open?serverCode=fr1

Ces informations ne sont pas instantanées, elles sont mises a jour toutes les 7 secondes environ.

En ce qui conerne les horaires, il n'y as pas d'API officielle pour le moment, neanmoins tu peux utiliser librement notre surcouche qui s'occupe de recuperer les horaires depuis l'EDR officiel:
Par exemple les horaires de Katowice: https://dispatch-api.cdn.infra.deadlykungfu.ninja/dispatch/KZ

Concernant leur utilisation, les developpeurs de SimRail l'autorisent, mais etant donné que le jeu est encore en developpement, cela va etre modifié au fur et a mesure du temps.

J'espere que cela t'aidera dans tes projets et n'hesite pas a m'envoyer un message si tu as d'autres questions !

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for the feedback, the encouragement, the nice words and also for the translations you guys provided for our project.

We already support 8 languages (out of which 6 are fully translated for the 1.1 version). We have several more that we would like to support and we are also open to new suggestions.

 

If you feel like helping us extend the language repertoir, write me a personal message here on the forum and apply on our Transifex page please (see link below). Thank you so much!

Hello, Version 1.2 has hit production 🙂 
This is a light changelog for this week because we are preparing the ground works for a big update and opneing completly the API behind the EDR.
 

Enhancements:

• 🇧🇾🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian translation thanks to @Loongeron
• 🇵🇱 Polish translation thanks to @Invis
• Train timetables in beta. Not all trains are available yet, and some stations might be skipped (https://github.com/simrail/EDR/issues/49)

Fixes:

• Be able to select DarkMode from the main menu https://github.com/simrail/EDR/issues/27

Thats it for this week, I did not lie to you about it being light 😄

Despite today's changelog being very small, a lot of work as been done behind the scenes to prepare for the next features and also provide support for orther community EDR so they can adapt faster to changes 🙂 

Thank you very much for following this project and see you soon !

Hello thanks for suggesting, that would be of great help for the dispatcher indeed, here is your enhancement issue for following the progress 🙂 https://github.com/simrail/EDR/issues/56

Also, Michal a dev of the EDR is also at work for the driver screen based on the timetable data showned on the dispatcher screen and data by RWag regarding speed limits and kilometer points.
Our inspirations for the screen are the Czech and French driver apps:

 

It is too early in the developpement to have an ETA tho 🙂 
 

Thanks for suggesting and see you soon !
