Transit Live Mapping Solutions

Hi, we are Transit Live Mapping Solutions

Enhancing openness and promoting access to Dresden public infrastructure data by surprise backuping the radio communications since 2022.

We are a small group of students — Marenz, Tassilo and 0xA. What started as a small side project during lockdown ended up getting somewhat out of hand and turned into this.

The goal was simple: collect communications between public transport and traffic lights in real time, and make it available in a straightforward way. The result is a live map showing vehicle positions and related information.

The data is collected via a network of radio receivers distributed across the city, listening to the broadcasts sent by public transport vehicles. The setup mainly targets Dresden, but the software was written in a way that does not hard-code the city.

The project is largely finished. The infrastructure is still running and occasionally maintained, but this is now mostly a snapshot of what we built at the time.

Any questions? Chat us up.
