Create a new stop

All stops which are, or could be, used by public transport vehicles must be registered in the national database, NSR. Likewise, all public transport vehicles must use the stops registered in the national database. This symbiotic relationship is the foundation of Norwegian public transport information.

It is important to first be familiar with the fundamentals idea of what a stop should look like before beginning the technical procedure of creating a stop. See To structure a stop for more information.

 

Step by step

Creating a monomodal StopPlace

There are several ways to create a new StopPlace. From scratch or from existing data.

From scratch

This method requires that you are not currently in edit mode of another stop, or inside the report tool.

  1. Navigate to the location where the stop will be located.

  2. Click “New Stop Place” in the search box. (see screenshot)

  1. Double-click on the map approximately where you want to create the stop.

  2. Click the new orange marker on the map and select “Create here”

 

3

  1. Enter a name which is in accordance with current guidelines (required).

  2. Select a modality (required).

  3. Create the correct number of quays by dragging the Quay marker from the top of the page down onto the map

  4. Adjust the positions of all elements in accordance with the current guidelines

  5. Click “Save New”. See step 4.

  • Use the appropriate map layers to select positions for your stop. If the maps are not up to date, you may leave the stop in an approximate position, and add a Tag, reminding you, or others, to revisit and adjust the stop at a later time.

  • The appropriate map layers are

    • Kartverket flyfloto

    • Kartverket topografisk

  1. Enter a useful description of the new version. For example what has changed, and why? Dates of the change are automatically added to the version.

  2. Click Confirm

  • Please note that this comment is part of the open data and is accessible to the public. It should also be useful to those reading the changelog in the future.

 

Quality assurance

  • By looking at the location of a Quay compared to the map layer “OpenStreetMap”, a quick estimate of foot routing can tell you whether the stop will function in the way you expect.

  • Do not, however, adjust the Quay to OpenStreetMap, instead adjust both the stop and OpenStreetMap to Kartverket flyfoto.

    • Assuming that Kartverket flyfoto is up to date.

Creating from existing data

Sometimes a StopPlace has an unconventional grouping of Quays which lead customers into a confusing situation. In this example, there are two quays on the northern stretch of the road, but then a third one after the bend. The StopPlace centroid is located in the middle of a residential area.

  • The solution here is to split the Quay into a new StopPlace

This process requires that you are currently in edit mode of an existing stop which has at least 1 quay which should belong to your new stop.
