1. Bus GPS processing

Route shapes learned from vehicle traces, on-map snapping with an along-route Kalman filter, and diversion detection with an evidence-based lifecycle. Measured on 38 days of the BODS SIRI-VM feed.

2. Tube position inference

In preparation: how train positions are inferred from arrival countdowns and how feed noise is handled.

3. Backend and running cost

In preparation: architecture, per-upstream budgets, memory and egress, and how each was reduced.
