equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates_distance_below_threshold

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and different lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt and the distance between the two points is greater than 0 but less than 1.11m.

When sorted by shape.shape_pt_sequence, the values for shape_dist_traveled must increase along a shape. Two consecutive points with equal values for shape_dist_traveled and small difference of coordinates (greater than 0 but less than 1.11 m distance) result in a warning.

equal_shape_distance_same_coordinates WARNING 7

equal_shape_distance_same_coordinates

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and the same lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt.

When sorted by shape.shape_pt_sequence, the values for shape_dist_traveled must increase along a shape. Two consecutive points with equal values for shape_dist_traveled and the same coordinates indicate a duplicative shape point.

You can see more about this notice here.

Actual distance traveled along the shape from the first shape point to the faulty record. shapePtSequence (?) The faulty record's `shapes.shape_pt_sequence`. prevCsvRowNumber (?) The row number from `shapes.txt` of the previous shape point. prevShapeDistTraveled (?) Actual distance traveled along the shape from the first shape point to the previous shape point. prevShapePtSequence (?) The previous record's `shapes.shape_pt_sequence`.

stop_too_far_from_shape WARNING 20

stop_too_far_from_shape

Stop too far from trip shape.

Per GTFS Best Practices, route alignments (in shapes.txt) should be within 100 meters of stop locations which a trip serves. This potentially indicates a problem with the location of the stop or the path of the shape.

You can see more about this notice here.

tripCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `trips.txt`. shapeId (?) The id of the shape that is referred to. tripId (?) The id of the trip that is referred to. stopTimeCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `stop_times.txt`. stopId (?) The id of the stop that is referred to. stopName (?) The name of the stop that is referred to. match (?) Latitude and longitude pair of the location. geoDistanceToShape (?) Distance from stop to shape.

stops_match_shape_out_of_order WARNING 4

stops_match_shape_out_of_order

Two stop entries are different than their arrival-departure order defined by shapes.txt.

This could indicate a problem with the location of the stops, the path of the shape, or the sequence of the stops for their trip.

You can see more about this notice here.

tripCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `trips.txt`. shapeId (?) The id of the shape that is referred to. tripId (?) The id of the trip that is referred to. stopTimeCsvRowNumber1 (?) The row number of the first faulty record from `stop_times.txt`. stopId1 (?) The id of the first stop that is referred to. stopName1 (?) The name of the first stop that is referred to. match1 (?) Latitude and longitude pair of the first matching location. stopTimeCsvRowNumber2 (?) The row number of the second faulty record from `stop_times.txt`. stopId2 (?) The id of the second stop that is referred to. stopName2 (?) The name of the second stop that is referred to. match2 (?) Latitude and longitude pair of the second matching location.
