MOTIS stands for **M**odular **O**pen **T**ransportation **I**nformation **S**ystem.
It is an open-source software platform designed to facilitate
efficient planning and routing in multi-modal transportation systems.
Developed to handle *large-scale* transportation data,
MOTIS integrates various modes of transport -
such as walking, cycling, sharing mobility (e-scooters, bike sharing, car
sharing), and public transport -
to provide optimized routing solutions.

MOTIS currently supports the following input formats:

- (One) **OpenStreetMap `osm.pbf`** file for the street network, addresses, indoor-routing, etc.
- (Multiple) **GTFS** feeds for static timetables
- (Multiple) **GTFS-RT** feeds for real-time updates (delays, cancellations, track changes)
- (Multiple) **GBFS** feeds for sharing mobility

*Planned*: GTFS-Flex, NeTEx and SIRI

MOTIS provides an easy-to-use **REST API** (JSON via HTTP) with
a [**OpenAPI specification**](openapi.yaml)
that allows you to generate clients for your favorite programming language.

# Features

> [!NOTE]
> :rocket: MOTIS is optimized for **high performance** with **low memory usage**.
>
> This enables _planet-sized_ deployments on affordable hardware.

MOTIS is a swiss army knife for mobility and comes with all features you need for a next generation mobility platform:

- **routing**: one mode walking, bike, car, sharing mobility / combined modes
- **geocoding**: multi-language address and stop name completion with fuzzy string matching and resolution to geo coordinates
- **reverse geocoding**: resolving geo coordinates to the closest address
- **tile server**: background map tiles

MOTIS uses efficient traffic day bitsets that allows efficient loading of **full year timetables**!
Loading one year of timetable doesn't take much more RAM than loading one month.

Features can be turned on and off as needed.

# Quick Start

- Create a folder with the following files.
- Download MOTIS from
the [latest release](https://github.com/motis-project/motis/releases) and
extract the archive.
- Download a OpenStreetMap dataset as `osm.pbf` (e.g.
from [Geofabrik](https://download.geofabrik.de/)) and place it in the folder
- Download one or more GTFS datasets and place them in the folder

```bash
./motis my.osm.pbf my.gtfs.zip
```

This will preprocess the input files and create a `data` folder.
After that, it will start a server.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Ensure a valid timetable is used. If the timetable is outdated, it will not contain any trips to consider for upcoming dates.

This script will execute the steps described above for a small dataset for the city of Aachen, Germany:

**Linux / macOS**

```bash
# set TARGET to linux-arm64, macos-arm64, ... to fit your setup
# see release list for supported platforms
TARGET="linux-amd64"
wget https://github.com/motis-project/motis/releases/latest/download/motis-${TARGET}.tar.bz2
tar xf motis-${TARGET}.tar.bz2
wget https://github.com/motis-project/test-data/raw/aachen/aachen.osm.pbf
wget https://opendata.avv.de/current_GTFS/AVV_GTFS_Masten_mit_SPNV.zip
./motis aachen.osm.pbf AVV_GTFS_Masten_mit_SPNV.zip
```
