Live Map View

The Live Map view gives you a bird’s eye view of your transit system and helps you quickly pinpoint problems or vehicle performance issues throughout your fleet. This view provides geographical context of your routes and is great for knowing exactly where vehicles are in your system and how far away they are from their next stop or timepoint. 

 

 

Real-time Stats & Live Map Issues Panel

On the right hand side of the map, the Real-Time Stats section provides a summary of the total active trips that are currently in progress. Real-Time Stats functions as both a legend and a filter for the vehicles on the Live Map.

The Issues Panel can be expanded by clicking on "Real-Time Stats".

Below the real-time stats, routes are prioritized in real-time by number of issues. 

Real-Time Stats: filters

In the “Real-Time Stats” window select one or more statuses to filter: 

When filters are applied:

• Only vehicles that match the filtered statuses appear on the map.
• Total issue counts are updated to focus only on the filtered issues.
• Route directions without filtered issues appear as "No Issues".

Issues Panel in Live Map

The Issues Panel in Live Map View provides a prioritized list of routes and helps you quickly identify issues across your fleet. Routes with the most issues are prioritized at the top, allowing users to address the most critical issues first.

The route with the highest number of issues will show up at the top of the list, making it easy for users to prioritize issues. The list updates in real-time.

Highlight a route

When a user selects a route, vehicle, or block, the corresponding route is highlighted so the user can focus on that route without having to unselect other routes on the map. A purple route bar with the route name will show up at the top, graying out other routes to make vehicle monitoring easier.

The route bar appears with the following interactions:

• User selects a vehicle/block from the search bar
• User selects a vehicle by clicking on it on the map
• The user expands one of the route cards in the Issues panel on the right side of the map.
• User clicks on a row within the route card

To remove the route bar, the user can click outside the selected route on the map or click the "X". By closing the route bar, vehicle selection will be cleared.
