vmt — Source Data Validation Report

duplicate_route_name

Two distinct routes have either the same route_short_name, the same route_long_name, or the same combination of route_short_name and route_long_name.

All routes of the same route_type with the same agency_id should have unique combinations of route_short_name and route_long_name.

Note that there may be valid cases where routes have the same short and long name, e.g., if they serve different areas. However, different directions must be modeled as the same route.

fast_travel_between_far_stops

A transit vehicle moves too fast between two far stops.

Two stops are considered "far" if they are more than 10 km apart. This normally indicates a more serious problem than too fast travel between consecutive stops.

The speed threshold depends on route type and are the same as fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops.

leading_or_trailing_whitespaces

The value in CSV file has leading or trailing whitespaces.

This notice is emitted for values protected with double quotes since whitespaces for non-protected values are trimmed automatically by CSV parser.

The validator strips whitespaces from protected values. We do not see any use case when such a whitespace may be needed. On the other hand, some real-world feeds use trailing whitespaces for some values and omit them for the others. This is causing the largest problem when a primary key and a foreign key differ just by a whitespace: it is clear that they are intended to be the same, that is why we always strip whitespaces.

mixed_case_recommended_field

This field has customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (should contain upper and lower case letters).

This field contains customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (upper and lower case letters) to ensure good readability when displayed to riders. Avoid the use of abbreviations throughout the feed (e.g. St. for Street) unless a location is called by its abbreviated name (e.g. “JFK Airport”). Abbreviations may be problematic for accessibility by screen reader software and voice user interfaces.
