Now what is a bus without delays? We're going to add a delay detection to our bus.
We are going to use a pretty simple method based on the position of the bus and scheduled time of the next stop.
current_time = 80 #s from midnight
scheduled_time = [70, 90] #s from midnight
total_distance = 1000 #m
remaining_distance = 500 #m
time_per_meter = (scheduled_time[1] - scheduled_time[0]) / total_distance
time_at_current_position = scheduled_time[0] + remaining_distance * time_per_meter
delay = current_time - time_at_current_positionThis is not a smooth approach, but it is accurate enough for our needs.
While the mathematics involved isn't perfect, it gives us a good approximation of delay times. We can now display a more accurate estimation of delays.
This concludes the prototype of our project. There is still an extra part that runs parallel to this.
