RouteX - Explore Community Routes

With RouteX we started collecting routes from the Whistle Board feed, aiming to give the community a shared collection of discoverable routes based on real player rides. By combining recorded tracks, detected station passages/stops and observed timings, ThirdRails can gradually build a growing route network from normal gameplay activity.
This leads to an intelligent route layer from which timetables can already be generated and explored. In the future it may also support features such as ride pattern analysis, connected routes and other community-driven network features.

RouteX is still in Beta.
The first version is focused on route discovery, route preview and generated timetables based on observed rides. More routes will appear naturally as the community keeps driving.

The briefing form displays route information such as stops, distance and observed ride timings. RouteX can generate a timetable using three timing profiles:

Challenging — based on faster observed runs.
Typical — based on average community timings.
Relaxed — based on slower or more relaxed runs.



Generated timetables are not locked. You can freely add stations, adjust arrival and departure times yourself before starting the service. This is especially useful when a recorded ride contains incomplete timing information or when you simply want to customize the service to your own driving style.

RouteX is available in ThirdRails app (v10.1) via the Radar-First UI mode and via de radar website
