RaptorXX

RaptorXX is a C++ project designed to manage and process public transportation data, specifically using the GTFS ( General Transit Feed Specification) format. The project leverages modern C++ standards (C++20/C++23). The primary functionalities of RaptorXX include:

• Data Management: Efficiently handling and processing large datasets of public transportation schedules and routes.
• Algorithm Implementation: Implementing the RAPTOR (Round-based Public Transit Routing) algorithm for fast and efficient route planning.
• Modular Design: Organized into multiple subdirectories for logging, geometry, scheduling, and gtfs to raptor structures configuration, ensuring a clean and maintainable codebase.
• Testing and Benchmarking: Comprehensive test suites and benchmarks to ensure the correctness and performance of the implemented algorithms.

The project is built using CMake, with specific configurations for different compilers and build types. It also includes scripts for downloading and unzipping necessary data files, ensuring that all required resources are available for the build process.

Platform Support

RaptorXX can be compiled for both Windows and Linux platforms. The CMake configuration and vcpkg package manager ensure that all dependencies and build configurations are handled appropriately for these operating systems.

Dependencies

This project uses vcpkg, a C++ package manager, to manage its dependencies. Before you can build and use this project, you need to install the dependencies using vcpkg.

Here are the steps to install the dependencies:

1. First, you need to install vcpkg. You can clone it from the GitHub repository and then bootstrap it using the provided script. Open a terminal and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

1. Once vcpkg is installed, you can install the dependencies of this project. In the root directory of the project, there is a vcpkg.json file that lists the dependencies of the project. You can install all the dependencies with the following command:

./vcpkg/vcpkg install

This command should be run in the directory where you installed vcpkg.

1. After installing the dependencies, you need to integrate vcpkg with your user-wide environment. This will make vcpkg's libraries available to CMake. You can do this with the following command:

./vcpkg/vcpkg integrate install

Building the Project

After installing the dependencies, you can build the project using CMake. Here are the steps: Create a build directory and navigate into it:

Create a build directory and navigate into it:

mkdir build
cd build

Run CMake to generate the build files:

cmake ..

Build the project:

cmake --build --config Release
