Processed data

Wimmel processes the raw data. It cuts out one service day, snaps the vehicles to the track and the roads, adds heights from the terrain, and spreads stop times that the timetable gives on the same minute. These steps change the data. Positions between stops are estimates, not measurements.

The processed days contain paths derived from OpenStreetMap. They are available under the ODbL 1.0, one set of files per service day:

The data can be incomplete, late or wrong. Do not use Wimmel to plan a journey. Use the timetable of your transport company. To the extent that the law permits, the operator of Wimmel accepts no liability for damage or loss from the use of this page or its data. The data providers give no warranty either.
