Maps Rock!
Locomotive Location's product is a data stream. We converted it into something that can be viewed and interacted with… a MAP!
Everything on the map is rendered from the data stream.
We don’t have any immediate plans to release something like this on the App Store, but you’ll be the first to hear about it if you sign up for news and updates!
### Engineering Notes
- Under the hood, we maintain a registry of crossings, rail segments, and related assets.
- Each crossings’ status is determined by our data stream
- As trains move, crossings update independently & asynchronously
- The UI (the map) simply renders whatever the data reports; there is no UI logic deciding outcomes. Without our data stream the map wouldn’t show train locations or crossing activity.
- If we remove the map entirely and pipe the feed directly into your routing engine, the underlying logic is the same, and your routing engine will be able to make real decisions based on it
