Buses on the map

Web application shows the movement of buses on the map of Moscow.

Project uses web sockets (trio-websocket) based on Trio async implementation.

Installation

Python version required: 3.11

• It's recommended to use venv or virtualenv for better isolation.
  venv setup example:

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

• Install requirements:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

How to launch

• Run python3 server.py.
  This server is supposed to listen to incoming messages on 127.0.0.1:8080 address
  and send messages to 127.0.0.1:8000 address. CLI args for server.py:

Usage: server.py [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --bus_port INTEGER      The port for mocking buses  [default: 8080]
  --browser_port INTEGER  The port for communicating with browser  [default:
                          8000]
  -v, --verbose           Display verbose log output
  --help                  Show this message and exit.

• To simulation the buses corrdinates you have would have to run the script fake_bus.py in another terminal window.
  CLI args for fake_bus.py:

Usage: fake_bus.py [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --server TEXT                Server address  [default: ws://127.0.0.1:8080]
  --routes_number INTEGER      Amount of routes. There are 963 routes
                               available  [default: 5]
  --buses_per_route INTEGER    Amount of busses for each route.  [default: 3]
  --websockets_number INTEGER  Amount of open websockets  [default: 3]
  --emulator_id TEXT           Prefix for bus_id in case of running several
                               instances of emulator
  --refresh_timeout FLOAT      Server coordinates refresh rate  [default: 0.1]
  -v, --verbose                Display verbose log output
  --help                       Show this message and exit.

Data format

Frontend expects to receive JSON message with a list of buses from server:

{
  "msgType": "Buses",
  "buses": [
    {"busId": "c790сс", "lat": 55.7500, "lng": 37.600, "route": "120"},
    {"busId": "a134aa", "lat": 55.7494, "lng": 37.621, "route": "670к"}
  ]
}

Those buses that are not on the buses list of the last message from the server will be removed from the map.

The frontend tracks the movement of the user on the map and sends to the server new coordinates of the window:

{
  "msgType": "newBounds",
  "data": {
    "east_lng": 37.65563964843751,
    "north_lat": 55.77367652953477,
    "south_lat": 55.72628839374007,
    "west_lng": 37.54440307617188
  }
}
