Fixes #1414.

Problem

GetStopDelaysFromTripUpdates keyed its result by stop_id:

if stu.StopID == nil {
    continue
}
...
delays[*stu.StopID] = info

On a loop trip (seq 1 → STOP_A, seq 2 → STOP_B, seq 3 → STOP_A) the two updates for STOP_A collapse into one entry and the last one wins, so a request for sequence 3 could receive sequence 1's delay. Updates that carry stop_sequence without stop_id were skipped entirely, although GTFS-Realtime allows that form.

Change

GetStopDelaysFromTripUpdates now returns a StopDelays value with a For(stopID, stopSequence) lookup that tries stop_sequence first and falls back to stop_id. That is the order matchScheduleEntry already uses for the schedule side in the same file, so the two halves of the pipeline now agree on how a stop visit is identified.

The two callers, findClosestStopByTimeWithDelays and findNextStopByTimeWithDelays, pass the scheduled stop-time's StopSequence into the lookup. An update with neither stop_sequence nor stop_id is still skipped, since there is nothing to match it against.

Tests

Three added:

  • LoopTripKeyedBySequence: sequence 1 and 3 both at stop-A with delays 0 and 600; For("stop-A", 1) returns 0 and For("stop-A", 3) returns 600.
  • SequenceOnlyUpdateIsKept: a stop_sequence-only update is retained and resolvable.
  • FallsBackToStopIDWithoutSequence: a stop_id-only feed still matches a scheduled stop whose sequence the feed never mentioned.

The existing GetStopDelaysFromTripUpdates and *WithDelays tests are updated for the new type; their assertions are unchanged in meaning.

Checks

go vet under sqlite_fts5 sqlite_math_functions and purego, make test, and go fmt all clean.

The diff is 165 insertions / 54 deletions. About 70 of the insertions are the three new tests; the production change itself is under 60 lines. Say if you would rather I trim the third test for size.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved trip delay handling for routes that visit the same stop more than once.
    • Stop updates are now matched by stop sequence when stop IDs are unavailable.
    • Added fallback matching for updates that provide a stop ID without a sequence.
    • Improved closest and next-stop timing calculations across overnight and daylight-saving-time trips.
    • Improved reliability when matching trip updates to stops in complex or incomplete feed data.

GetStopDelaysFromTripUpdates returned a map keyed by stop_id, so on a loop
trip that visits the same stop twice the two StopTimeUpdates collapsed into
one entry and the later visit's delay overwrote the earlier one. It also
dropped any StopTimeUpdate that carried stop_sequence without stop_id,
which GTFS-Realtime permits.

Replace the map with a StopDelays value that indexes by stop_sequence and
falls back to stop_id, the same order matchScheduleEntry already uses for
the schedule side. The two callers in trips_helper look up by the scheduled
stop-time's sequence, so a request for sequence 3 no longer receives the
delay reported for sequence 1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The realtime pipeline now preserves stop-sequence-specific delays, retains sequence-only updates, and uses sequence-aware prediction matching with stop-ID fallback.

Changes

Stop sequence matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stop delay collection contract
internal/restapi/trip_updates_helper.go, internal/restapi/trip_updates_helper_test.go
StopDelays stores entries by stop sequence and stop ID. Sequence lookup has priority. Sequence-only updates reach schedule matching.
Trip stop delay integration
internal/restapi/trips_helper.go, internal/restapi/trips_helper_test.go
Closest-stop and next-stop calculations use sequence-aware delay lookup. Existing delayed, DST fallback, normal-day, and overnight cases use StopDelays.
Prediction update selection
internal/restapi/arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler.go, internal/restapi/arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler_test.go
Prediction matching prefers the requested stop sequence. It falls back to stop ID when the update has no sequence. Tests cover repeated stops and sequence-less updates.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e4e7a

Repeated stop visits now receive sequence-specific realtime delays and predictions, while sequence-only and stop-ID-only updates remain supported. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.

Comment thread internal/restapi/trip_updates_helper.go Outdated
Comment thread internal/restapi/trips_helper.go
findClosestStopByTimeWithDelays and findNextStopByTimeWithDelays each
resolved a stop-time and then applied the real-time delay with the same
fifteen lines. Both copies were touched by the stop_sequence change, so
SonarCloud counted them as new code and the quality gate failed on 4.1%
duplication against a 3% ceiling.

delayedStopTimeSeconds now does both steps once and reports false for a
stop-time with neither an arrival nor a departure, which is the case the
callers were skipping with a continue. The departure-over-arrival note
moves onto the helper, so the rationale sits with the code it explains
instead of being repeated and then cross-referenced.

Thanks for the update. The extracted helper looks good and the new StopDelays direction is the right one, but I don't think this fully closes #1414 yet.

Requesting changes for two remaining paths that still lose stop-visit identity:

  1. arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler.go:getPredictedTimes still matches a StopTimeUpdate when either stop_id matches or stop_sequence matches, then immediately breaks. On a loop trip with STOP_A at sequences 1 and 3, a request for sequence 3 can still consume the sequence-1 update just because the stop_id matches first. Please make this path prefer stop_sequence when present and only fall back to stop_id when sequence matching is unavailable. A regression test should cover STOP_A at seq 1 and seq 3 with different delays and verify a seq-3 single-arrival request gets the seq-3 prediction.

  2. trip_updates_helper.go:pickClosestSTUDeviation still only calls matchScheduleEntry inside if stu.StopID != nil. That means a GTFS-RT StopTimeUpdate with stop_sequence but no stop_id can still be ignored for closest-in-time schedule-deviation / trip-status calculations, even though the PR goal says sequence-only updates should be processed. Please let sequence-only STUs reach sequence-aware schedule matching, or otherwise add equivalent sequence-based lookup there.

Once those are covered, the StopDelays helper should be part of a complete fix rather than fixing only the no-vehicle closest/next-stop delay lookup path.

getPredictedTimes matched a StopTimeUpdate when either its stop_id or its
stop_sequence matched, then stopped at the first hit. On a loop trip that
visits the same stop_id more than once, a request for the later visit was
served the earlier visit's prediction, because the earlier update matched
on stop_id first.

Prefer the update whose stop_sequence matches, and fall back to stop_id
only for updates carrying no sequence at all. An update with a different
sequence is positively identifying a different visit, so it is not a
candidate. Feeds that omit stop_sequence are unaffected.
pickClosestSTUDeviation only looked up a scheduled stop time when the
StopTimeUpdate carried a stop_id, because the schedule map is keyed by
stop_id. GTFS-RT allows stop_sequence without stop_id, and those updates
contributed a zero scheduled time, which picker.consider discards. They
were therefore invisible to closest-in-time schedule deviation and trip
status.

Resolve them by scanning the trip's entries for the matching sequence.
Stop sequences are unique within a trip, so at most one entry can match.

Both paths are covered now, in two commits so they can be read separately.

1. getPredictedTimes. It now prefers the update whose stop_sequence matches the requested one, and falls back to stop_id only for updates that carry no sequence at all. I went with that rather than a general fallback because an update with some other sequence is positively identifying a different visit, so treating it as a stop_id candidate would reintroduce the same ambiguity one step later. Feeds that omit stop_sequence entirely are unaffected, and there is a test pinning that.

The regression test is the case you described: STOP_A at sequence 1 (60s late) and sequence 3 (600s late), with STOP_B in between. Against the tree without the production change it fails as expected:

expected: 2024-01-01 12:10:00 +0000 UTC
actual  : 2024-01-01 12:01:00 +0000 UTC

12:01 is the sequence-1 prediction being handed to a sequence-3 request.

2. pickClosestSTUDeviation. Sequence-only updates now resolve their scheduled stop time by scanning the trip's entries for the matching sequence, since the map is keyed by stop_id and there is no key to look under. Stop sequences are unique within a trip (PRIMARY KEY (trip_id, stop_sequence) on stop_times), so at most one entry can match and map iteration order does not affect the result.

The test for this sets Arrival.Time rather than Arrival.Delay on purpose. pickFirstAvailableSTUDelay only reads Delay, so a Delay-based test would pass through the Tier-3 fallback whether or not the schedule lookup worked. With Time, the assertion can only be satisfied by the schedule-matching path, and without the fix it reports hasData=false and a deviation of 0 instead of 120.

Full suite is green under both tag sets CI uses, sqlite_fts5 sqlite_math_functions and purego.

561-566: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep sequence-specific updates out of byStopID.

When an update has both identifiers, storing it in byStopID lets StopDelays.For("stop-A", 1) return a delay for sequence 3 after the sequence-1 lookup misses. This assigns a repeated stop visit the wrong delay.

Store a byStopID entry only when StopSequence is nil. Update Len to sum the independent maps. Add a case where only the later repeated-stop sequence has an update.

An update carrying a stop_sequence was stored in both maps, so a lookup for a
different sequence at the same stop fell through to byStopID and read that
update's delay. On a loop trip with an update only for the second visit, the
first visit was served the second visit's delay.

Store a stop_id entry only when the update has no sequence, and sum both maps
in Len now that their entries are disjoint.
