How miscellaneous stuff are working

There are 5 mains services:

• "places" to autocomplete user input
• "journeys" to compute multi-modal trip
• "PTref" to easily explore public transport data
• "route_schedules" or "stop_schedules" to print time tables
• "departures" or "arrival" in order not to miss your next bus
• "traffic_reports" to expose the main perturbations or important messages

And some sexy other things such as "isochrones".

places

This service is based on a 3-grams algorithm. Here is the different phases of searching

1. init
2. ghost word management (such as "in", "the", "on"...)
3. alias management
4. house number management
5. 3-grams on words that remain

journeys

Journeys are multi-modal and can take into account many algorithms as describe here

The PT (public transport) algorithm has to be Kraken, which is based on Raptor. But with lots of enhancements which are described in the RFC.

Some ride sharing stuff can be find here
