Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Todays OTP doesn't have a feature to runtime create flexible stop areas. For Entur Car Pooling PoC we'd like the ability to create these runtime.
Goal / high level use-case
Car Pooling
Describe the solution you'd like
First version
- Only support temporary area stops defined by an polygon or point
- Stops life cycle tied to the service journey (flexible trip)
- When a trip expires, both the trip and it's stop should be purged
- These temporary stops are only visible/available for it's service journey / trip - not available through Index API
- First version only needs to support direct search (no need for access, egress), car and walking
This is a feature toggled sandbox feature to gather technical and user experience insight into Car pooling and trip planning. It's deliberately very limited to keep scope of work low.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We do this using Siri RealTime updates. Others have done this using plan data, but we want this to show up immediately and we can not use regular bus stops. IT is not allowed to pickup/drop off passengers from a car on regular buss stops in Norway.
