Aule opens a network once its data lets the map keep its promises: today’s timetables, the line routes, and live data when the operator publishes it.
What the map shows depends on what each network publishes. Here’s what it reads from each of them.
The Nantes Métropole network, where every Aule feature is tested first.
The Pays de la Loire Region’s coaches across the département, many of them running into Nantes.
Every network we open inherits the map’s rules: nothing is presented as more certain than it is.
Every dataset is credited, with its licence and the period it covers; when that period is about to end, the map says so.
“Live position” when the vehicle sends it, “estimated from the timetable” otherwise, and “updates paused” when the feed goes quiet.
Every new version the network publishes is picked up and compared with the previous one: lines, stops and timetables that change.
No dates have been announced: a network opens when its data lets us keep these promises.
Paris and its region · Metro · RER · Train · Tram · Bus
The whole region, not a single operator. The integration study is done; nothing is open to riders yet.
Lyon · Metro · Tram · Bus · Funicular
Planned for the next stage of the rollout.
Bordeaux · Tram · Bus · River shuttle
Planned for the next stage of the rollout.
Your city isn’t listed? Let us know.
Aule starts from the open data your network already publishes: the scheduled service in GTFS, then live data in GTFS-RT if it exists.
The scheduled service is enough to get started; live data and disruptions are added as soon as they’re published.
Lines, stops, routes and timetables are imported then checked, and every new version is compared with the previous one.
The map, stop search and routes open across your area.
The network teams’ tools build on the same data.
Let us know from the Contact page, giving the city and the network you use. If you run or organise it, the “Your network on Aule” section describes how we get started.
“Live pilot” and “Integrated”: the network’s data is on the public map today. “Under review”: integration work is under way, nothing is open yet. “Coming soon”: the network is being considered, with no date announced.
From the data each network publishes itself, in GTFS format, which the map credits along with its licence. Aule picks it up with every new version; if anything differs, the operator’s information takes precedence.
Because the network doesn’t share its position, or not for all its lines. Aule doesn’t make it up: the position is then estimated from the trip’s timetable, and the map says so.
