Trainlog is an app aimed at storing and sharing public transport trips.

How it works :

• All the data used is from OSM
• Stations search is provided by Photon
• Paths :
• Train and ferry paths are created using a modified version of the OSRM
• Bus paths are stock OSRM routes.
• Air paths are simply a geodesic between arrival and departure
• All maps are displayed using the Leaflet library

How to use :

• Search :
• If a station isn't found by the search, you can create it manually
• Only the name is necessary:
• If coordinates aren't filled, the peg will default to [0,0], it can then be moved to the desired location
• The country will be automatically retrieved using the position
• If known to the system, the operator field will show the logo of the operator
• For air, this field will search for the airline on an API and download its logo automatically
• For the others, they are manually updated by the Admin
• Routing :
• Green peg is origin, Red is destination
• Once on the routing page, both origin and destination pegs can be moved
• The router will snap to the closest way from the peg, including if it means very strange routes, it's sometimes good to move the peg around for more logical route
• A click on the route will create a waypoint peg, it can then be moved to alter the route
• You can use as many waypoints as necessary
• The route will try to take the quickest way between origin and destination while passing through all the waypoints
• The km displayed is the actual distance of the route
• The data displayed is a guess at calculating a time taken by the route and represent a scenario where the vehicle would drive for the whole trip at the max speed and never stop, it can be seen as an theoretical minimum
• Limitations :
• Bus routes will drive on the appropriate side of the road, but as of now aren't able to use bus-only roads
• Train routes will take the fastest way between the waypoints, but as of now ignores driving side
• Save :
• On save, distance traveled in each country will be calculated to be added to the stats
• For Air, the distance is divided in 2 and attributed to origin and destination countries
• Display :
• On the trip pages (trips & projects), trips are displayed by default using a today as the top of the table
• Trips where the start date is in the future are on the projects page
• Columns are sortable by clicking on the header, and sortable by using the search field
• Clicking on each row of the table will select it and show a menu bar for the selected trips
• Special fields :
• Once an trip is saved, some fields can be accessed through the edit button
• The Vehicle Type is the actual vehicle model the trip has been traveled on :
• For Air, if an ICAO aircraft type designator is detected, this field will show an outline of the airplane (ex: CRJ9)
• The Registration is the registration number of the vehicle :
• For Air, if formatted correctly (ex: PH-EZM):
• The flag of the registration country will be displayed next to it
• The registration will become a link to pictures of this actual aircraft
• Sharing :
• If you want to use the share functionnalities, you need to enable it in the settings
• Each individual trip can be shared through the kebab menu on the right of the table
• A complete voyage including several trips can be shared by selecting multiple trips and click on the "Create Link" button at the bottom
• Please note that such link will crash if it contains one or more trips that have been deleted
• Import/Export :
• In the settings, there is a possibility to export all the trips as a CSV
• It is recommanded to do it from time to time in case of a catastrophic failure of the system, or in case the user deletes trips that weren't meant to be
• There is also a possibility to import past flights from My Flightradar 24 logbook
• Delete account :
• Should you want to delete your account, it is currently not implemented directly, but please send an email to admin@trainlog.me and the Admin will proceed to the deletion of your account
