DetourDetective is a proposed plugin for TheTransitClock that aims to automatically detect detours on transit routes. It is expected, this will further enhance the reliability and accuracy of arrival predictions produced by TheTransitClock during disruptions. TheTransitClock is an open-source transit information system. Its core function is to provide and analyse arrival predictions for transit systems. It takes a GTFS-realtime vehicle-position feed as input and produces arrival predictions in a GTFS-realtime trip-updates feed.
