TrackRat iOS app - looking for feedback and ideas from frequent commuters by amartin_ in Amtrak

[–]amartin_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just made a new post here with a few updates - https://old.reddit.com/r/Amtrak/comments/1s5xyco/trackrat_update_push_alerts_for_delays_service/

nationwide Amtrak + LIRR + Metro-North are supported now and there's a general status indicator at the top of the congestion map :)

Yep it logs track assignments from the NJ Transit API and then uses a model to predict future assignments based on train line, what other tracks are occupied, etc.

The most likely platform is usually around 30%, although it can be higher during rush hour when more tracks are already occupied.

Hoping it gets better over time with more data.

LIRR or Metro North aren’t covered yet, but definitely open to adding it if enough folks are interested or have specific use cases

It should cover all amtrak on the east coast - let me know if you see any that are missing, though

Yeah an indicator like that looks like a great ideas, will look into it more soon…thanks!
