TheTransitClock its an open source transit information system. It’s core function is to provide and analyze arrival predictions for transit systems. It takes a GTFS-realtime vehicle positions feed as input and produces arrival predictions in a GTFS-realtime trip updates feed.
TheTransitClock is an extended open source version of the project formally know as Transitime. Uniquely, TheTransitClock runs an adaptive algorithm called a Kalman Filter capable of identifying unusual operating conditions (weather, traffic collision, etc.) and adjusting predictions accordingly.
In 2020, Metro Transit has selected TheTransitClock to provide real-time information in the Twin Cities. This decision follows a month-long competition over 1,400 buses, where TheTransitClock was found to outperform the competition and to provide superior predictions during disruptions.
