VIZX Module Exchange

What is VIZ?

VIZ is a modular platform that enables transit operators and users to access real-time and historic information. VIZ allows operators to monitor system performance and allows riders to access real-time information.

What is a VIZ module?

A module is a static website, built on the VTFS API, which provides a window into some aspect of a transit agency's operations. Generate a flexible report on historical data, visualize the current state of the system... the possibilities are as broad as the API. Agencies can upload modules into your custom VIZ instance to have reporting at your fingertips.

Modules are shared as zip archives. The only requirement is that the module must have an index.html file at the root level. Beyond that, include whatever custom JavaScript and CSS you wish, referencing them with relative links.

Share your module with the world

If you've developed a VIZ module and want it included here to share with transit agencies and developers, please contact us. You are welcome to submit both agency-specific and general modules. Keep in mind that the latter is more likely to be useful to multiple agencies.

Simple Metrics

Tool to analyze real arrival information. Delays and headways histograms can be dynamically generated. The user can select specific routes, stops, date, and times. If the data is available, it is also possible to select specific vehicles or drivers.

Trajectories

This tool presents the vehicle trajectories in a route for a certain date. The user can see the vehicles' motion in a time-space diagram as well as an on-time performance summary and a schematic diagram of the different service patterns.
