Rejseplanen Live Tracker

A comprehensive Python CLI tool for tracking Copenhagen's public transport in real-time. Reverse-engineered from rejseplanen.dk's live map API with support for S-trains, Metro, Letbane, buses, and regional trains.

Features

• Real-time vehicle tracking - Live positions, delays, and destinations
• Multi-transport support - S-train, Metro, Letbane, IC/RE trains, buses
• Route visualization - See complete route with passed/current/upcoming stations
• Interactive selection - Choose transport type and filter by line
• Station name mapping - Coordinates resolved to actual station names
• Progress tracking - Percentage complete along route

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rvibek/rejseplanen-tracker.git
cd rejseplanen-tracker

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the tracker
python3 app.py

Usage

1. Select transport type (0-8):

   • 1: S-train (lines A, B, Bx, C, E, F, H)
   • 2: Metro (M1, M2, M3, M4)
   • 3: Letbane/Light Rail
   • 4: IC Trains
   • 5: RE Trains
   • 6: Øresund trains
   • 7: Havnebus (Waterbus)
   • 8: City Bus
   • 0: All Transport

2. Optional line filter - Enter specific line (e.g., "B" for S-train line B)

3. View results showing:

   • Vehicle position and ID
   • Route progress percentage
   • Current station with visual indicator
   • Passed and upcoming stations
   • Delay information

Example Output

VEHICLE 1: B
Train ID:    84/49430/18/19/86
Position:    (12509506, 55663903)
Destination: Farum St.
Delay:       1 minutes

ROUTE PROGRESS: 17.1%
Position index: 51/298

STATIONS ON ROUTE:
   PASSED     Rødovre St.
   PASSED     Hvidovre St.
   CURRENT    Danshøj St.
   UPCOMING   Valby St.
   UPCOMING   Carlsberg St.

API Architecture

This tool orchestrates three distinct Rejseplanen APIs:

1. Vehicle API (performLocating=1) - Real-time positions and metadata
2. Station API (performLocating=2) - Station coordinates and names
3. Route Geometry API (performLocating=16) - Complete route paths

See API_DOCUMENTATION.md for detailed endpoint documentation.
