Fast trips can identify problems with the input data or conversion process. This function returns trip_ids for trips that exceed `maxspeed`.

gtfs_fast_trips(gtfs, maxspeed = 83, routes = TRUE)

Arguments

gtfs

list of gtfs tables

maxspeed

the maximum allowed speed in metres per second default 83 m/s (about 185 mph the max speed of trains on HS1 line)

routes

logical, do one trip per route, faster but may miss some trips

Details

The function looks a straight line distance between each stop and detects the fastest segment of the journey. A common cause of errors is that a stop is in the wrong location so a bus can appear to teleport across the country in seconds.
