Patrick Brosi 63f0b61ea1 clean up and refactor half-baked development commits and squash them into a new version.
Changes:

* support for multiple GTFS feeds as input in filtering, read default global and local configuration files
* be a bit more memory conservative
* make caching optional
* dont delete orphan edge if it would transform a degree 3 node with a possible full turn into a degree 2 node eligible for contraction
* dedicated filters for funicular and gondola
* make max snap level option more intuitive
* allow filter rules for level 0
* additional fallback for station snapping
* dont try to route for MOT unequal to trip in -T mode, force-snap to orphaned OSM station if not snap was possible
* write bounds to filtered osm
* remove unused surrounding heuristic
* use bus lanes info
* be a bit more tolerant for bus oneway streets
* create missing directories
* error if no cfg is present, clean up evaluation Makefile

# pfaedle
Precise map-matching for public transit schedules (GTFS data).
## Requirements
* `cmake`
* `gcc >= 4.8` (or `clang >= 5.0`)
## Building and Installation
Fetch this repository and init submodules:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ad-freiburg/pfaedle
```
```
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j
```
To install, type
```
make install
```
# General Usage
## Generating shapes for a GTFS feed
```
pfaedle -x <OSM FILE> <GTFS INPUT FOLDER>
```
A shape'd version of the input GTFS feed will be written to `./gtfs-out`.
By default, shapes are only calculated for trips that don't have a shape in the
input feed. To drop all existing shapes, use the `-D` flag.
For example, you may generate (and replace existing, see -D parameter) shapes for the GTFS dataset for Freiburg like this:
```
$ wget https://fritz.freiburg.de/csv_Downloads/VAGFR.zip && unzip VAGFR.zip
$ wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/baden-wuerttemberg/freiburg-regbez-latest.osm.bz2 && bunzip2 freiburg-regbez-latest.osm.bz2
$ pfaedle -D -x freiburg-regbez-latest.osm .
```
## Generating shapes for a specific MOT
To generate shapes only for a specific mot, use the `-m` option. Possible
values are either `tram`, `bus`, `coach`, `rail`, `subway`, `ferry`, `funicular`,
`gondola`, `all` (default) or GTFS vehicle type codes (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
Multiple values can be specified (comma separated).
## OSM filtering
`pfaedle` comes with the ability to filter OpenStreetMap data. If you specify
the `-X` flag, `pfaedle` will filter the input OSM file and output a new OSM
file which contains exactly the data needed to calculate the shapes for the
input GTFS feed and the input configuration.
This can be used to avoid parsing (for example) the entire world.osm on each
run.
## Debugging
The following flags may be useful for debugging:
* `-T <GTFS TRIP ID>` only calculate shape for a single trip (specified via its GTFS trip id) and output it as GeoJSON to
`<dbg-path>/path.json`
* `--write-graph` write the graph used for routing as GeoJSON to
`<dbg-path>/graph.json`
* `--write-cgraph` if `-T` is set, write the combination graph used for
routing as GeoJSON to `<dbg-path>/combgraph.json`
* `--write-trgraph` write the complete network graph to `<dbg-path>/trgraph.json`
# Configuration
A default configuration file `pfaedle.cfg` can be found in this repo and will be installed with `make install`. Custom configuration files can be specified with the `-c` flag. If no `-c` flag is set, `pfaedle` will parse and merge the following cfg files in the given order (if present): `<install prefix>/etc/pfaedle/pfaedle.cfg`, `$HOME/.config/pfaedle/pfaedle.cfg`, `<CWD>/pfaedle.cfg`. Values given in later files will overwrite earlier defined values.
# Evaluation
You may run an entire evaluation of our testing datasets Vitoria-Gasteiz, Paris, Switzerland and
Stuttgart with
```
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j
make eval
```
*Notes:*
* this will download, and filter, the entire OSM files for Spain, the
Stuttgart region. Make sure you have enough space left on your hard drive.
* in evaluation mode, pfaedle needs significantly more time, because the
calculation of the similarity measurements between shapes are expensive
* if you are only interested in the end results of a single dataset, run
`make <dataset>.lighteval` in `/eval`. For example, `make paris.lighteval`
generates a shaped version of the paris dataset, without doing extensive
comparisons to the ground truth.
* similarily, if you want to run the extensive evaluation for a single dataset,
run `make <dataset>.eval` in `/eval`.
## Evaluation requirements
* zlib
On Debianesque systems, type
```
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
```
to install the dependencies.
