Bug ID: 485559
Summary: Add train stop locations and directions on indoor maps
for easier train changes
Classification: Applications
Product: KDE Itinerary
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
As a frequent traveler, I often find myself rushing to change trains,
especially when connection times are short. To make the process smoother and
less stressful, I propose adding the following features to KDE Itinerary:
1. Display train stop locations on indoor maps:
- When my itinerary includes a train journey, show the estimated stopping
location of the train on the indoor map of the train station.
- Indicate the direction of the train's movement (e.g., with an arrow) to
help me understand where to go on the train when it's still moving that I can
go to a door which will be close to the stairs or elevators to change trains
faster.
2. Highlight stairs and elevators near the train stop:
- Identify and highlight the nearest stairs and elevators to the estimated
train stop location on the indoor map.
- This will help me quickly locate the most convenient route to reach my
connecting train or exit the station.
3. (Provide guidance to the estimated stairs/elevator location:
- Based on the location of the train stop and the nearest stairs/elevator,
guide me towards the estimated location of the stairs/elevator on the platform.
- Display this information on the indoor map, allowing me to walk towards
the stairs/elevator in advance.
- This feature will be particularly useful when I have limited time to
change trains, as it can help me board the connecting train more quickly and
efficiently.)
Benefits:
- Reduces my stress and anxiety during train changes, especially when
connection times are short.
- Helps me navigate train stations more easily, especially in large or
unfamiliar stations.
- Saves time by guiding me to the most convenient stairs or elevators near my
train stop.
- Enhances my overall user experience by providing valuable information and
guidance during my journey.
Implementation:
- Utilize the existing indoor map data of train stations provided by the app.
- Obtain information on train stop locations.
- (Develop algorithms to estimate the position of the nearest stairs/elevator
based on the train stop location.)
I appreciate your consideration of this feature request and look forward to any
feedback or discussion.
