| 1 | +# Pipeline Automation Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This guide explains how to use the automated pipeline script (`run_pipeline.sh`) to set up and run the KIA Live Server data pipeline. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Quick Start |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +```bash |
| 8 | +# Run the complete pipeline |
| 9 | +./run_pipeline.sh |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +# Run with options |
| 12 | +./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download --no-copy |
| 13 | +``` |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Overview |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +The pipeline automates these steps from `steps.txt`: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +1. **Download database backups from R2** - Fetches backup files from Cloudflare R2 storage |
| 20 | +2. **Extract vehicle positions** - Converts SQLite data to CSV for ML training |
| 21 | +3. **Train ML model** - Trains the universal prediction model |
| 22 | +4. **Generate input files** - Fetches latest data from BMTC API and generates GTFS files |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## Prerequisites |
| 25 | + |

| 88 | + |
| 89 | +#### First-Time Setup |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```bash |
| 92 | +# Complete pipeline with all steps |
| 93 | +./run_pipeline.sh |
| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +#### Update Input Files Only |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```bash |
| 99 | +# Skip download, extract, and training - just regenerate input files |
| 100 | +./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download --skip-extract --skip-train |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +#### Retrain Model with Existing Data |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +```bash |
| 106 | +# Skip download and extract, but retrain model and regenerate files |
| 107 | +./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download --skip-extract |
| 108 | +``` |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +#### Test Generated Files Without Copying |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +```bash |
| 113 | +# Generate files but don't copy to in/ directory |
| 114 | +./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download --skip-extract --skip-train --no-copy |
| 115 | +``` |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +#### Use Local Database Files |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +If you already have database files in `db/`: |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +```bash |
| 122 | +# Skip R2 download |
| 123 | +./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +## Pipeline Steps Detail |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +### Step 1: Download from R2 |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +**Script:** `download_from_r2.py` |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +Downloads database backup files from Cloudflare R2 storage to `db/` directory. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +**Options:** |
| 135 | +```bash |
| 136 | +# Download only the latest backup |
| 137 | +poetry run python download_from_r2.py --latest-only |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +# Download files matching a pattern |
| 140 | +poetry run python download_from_r2.py --pattern "database-2025*.db" |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +**Skip if:** |
| 144 | +- You already have database files in `db/` |
| 145 | +- You're using a local development database |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +### Step 2: Extract Vehicle Positions |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +**Script:** `extract_vehicle_positions.py` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +Extracts vehicle position data from SQLite database(s) to CSV format for ML training. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +**Output:** `db/vehicle_positions.csv` |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +**Skip if:** |
| 156 | +- You already have `db/vehicle_positions.csv` |
| 157 | +- You're not retraining the model |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +### Step 3: Train Model |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +**Command:** |
| 162 | +```bash |
| 163 | +poetry run python -m src.model.cli train-universal \ |
| 164 | + --vehicle-positions db/vehicle_positions.csv \ |
| 165 | + --stops-data in/client_stops.json \ |
| 166 | + --model-dir models |
| 167 | +``` |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +Trains the universal stop-to-stop prediction model using historical vehicle position data. |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +**Output:** Model files in `models/` directory |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +**Skip if:** |
| 174 | +- You already have a trained model in `models/` |
| 175 | +- You're just updating input files without retraining |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +**Note:** Requires `in/client_stops.json` to exist. If it doesn't exist, you may need to: |
| 178 | +1. Run step 4 first with existing data, OR |
| 179 | +2. Manually create/copy `client_stops.json` from a previous run |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +### Step 4: Generate Input Files |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +**Script:** `generate_in_files.py` |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +Fetches latest data from BMTC API and generates input files for the GTFS feeds. |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +**Flags used:** |
| 188 | +- `-s` - Generate client_stops.json with stop information |
| 189 | +- `-r` - Generate routelines.json with route polylines |
| 190 | +- `-t` - Generate timings.tsv with schedule data from API |
| 191 | +- `-tdb` - Generate times.json with ML predictions (requires trained model) |
| 192 | +- `-c` - Copy generated files to `in/` directory (unless `--no-copy` is set) |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +**Output Files (in `generated_in/`):** |
| 195 | +- `route_children_ids.json` - Route ID mappings |
| 196 | +- `route_parent_ids.json` - Parent route ID mappings |
| 197 | +- `client_stops.json` - Stop locations and information |
| 198 | +- `routelines.json` - Encoded route polylines |
| 199 | +- `timings.tsv` - Schedule timings |
| 200 | +- `times.json` - ML-predicted stop-by-stop times |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +**Skip if:** |
| 203 | +- You don't need to refresh data from BMTC API |
| 204 | +- You're only retraining the model |
| 205 | + |

| 234 | + |
| 235 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +### Error: "pyproject.toml not found" |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +Make sure you're running the script from the project root directory: |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +```bash |
| 242 | +cd /path/to/kia-live-serverside |
| 243 | +./run_pipeline.sh |
| 244 | +``` |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +### Error: "Poetry is not installed" |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +Install Poetry first: |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +```bash |
| 251 | +curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - |
| 252 | +``` |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +### Error: "Missing required environment variables" |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +Set up your `.env` file with R2 credentials. See `R2_SETUP_GUIDE.md`. |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +### Error: "No database files found in db/" |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +Either: |
| 261 | +1. Don't use `--skip-download` (let it download from R2), OR |
| 262 | +2. Manually place database files in `db/` directory |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +### Error: "in/client_stops.json not found" (during model training) |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +This happens when training a model for the first time without existing input files. Solutions: |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +1. **Option A:** Run step 4 first with existing data: |
| 269 | + ```bash |
| 270 | + # Generate input files without model predictions |
| 271 | + poetry run python generate_in_files.py -s -r -t |
| 272 | + # Then run full pipeline |
| 273 | + ./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download --skip-extract |
| 274 | + ``` |
| 275 | + |
| 276 | +2. **Option B:** Copy from a previous run: |
| 277 | + ```bash |
| 278 | + cp /path/to/old/client_stops.json in/client_stops.json |
| 279 | + ``` |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +### Error: "Model training failed" |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +Check that: |
| 284 | +- `db/vehicle_positions.csv` exists and has data |
| 285 | +- `in/client_stops.json` exists |
| 286 | +- You have enough disk space |
| 287 | +- Dependencies are installed: `poetry install` |
| 288 | + |
| 289 | +### Pipeline stops midway |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +The script uses `set -e`, so it will stop on any error. Check the error message and: |
| 292 | +1. Fix the issue |
| 293 | +2. Re-run with appropriate `--skip-*` flags to resume from where it failed |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +## Performance Tips |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +### Speed Up Model Training |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +- Use `--skip-download` and `--skip-extract` if data hasn't changed |
| 300 | +- Model training time depends on CSV size (can take 5-30 minutes) |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +### Speed Up File Generation |
| 303 | + |
| 304 | +- API calls are rate-limited, expect 5-10 minutes for full generation |
| 305 | +- Files are cached in `generated_in/` - review before copying to `in/` |
| 306 | + |
| 307 | +### Disk Space |
| 308 | + |
| 309 | +Typical space requirements: |
| 310 | +- Database backups: ~30-100 MB each |
| 311 | +- vehicle_positions.csv: ~50-500 MB (depends on time range) |
| 312 | +- Models: ~10-50 MB |
| 313 | +- Generated files: ~1-5 MB total |
| 314 | + |
| 315 | +## Next Steps After Pipeline |
| 316 | + |
| 317 | +Once the pipeline completes successfully: |
| 318 | + |
| 319 | +1. **Review generated files:** |
| 320 | + ```bash |
| 321 | + ls -lh generated_in/ |
| 322 | + ``` |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +2. **Start the server:** |
| 325 | + ```bash |
| 326 | + poetry run python -m src.main |
| 327 | + ``` |
| 328 | + |
| 329 | +3. **Access endpoints:** |
| 330 | + - Static GTFS: `http://localhost:59966/gtfs.zip` |
| 331 | + - Real-time GTFS-RT: `http://localhost:59966/gtfs-rt.proto` |
| 332 | + - WebSocket stream: `ws://localhost:59966/ws/gtfs-rt` |
| 333 | + |
| 334 | +4. **Monitor logs** for any issues |
| 335 | + |
| 336 | +## Automation |
| 337 | + |
| 338 | +### Cron Job for Regular Updates |
| 339 | + |
| 340 | +Update input files daily at 3 AM: |
| 341 | + |
| 342 | +```bash |
| 343 | +# Edit crontab |
| 344 | +crontab -e |
| 345 | + |
| 346 | +# Add this line (adjust path) |
| 347 | +0 3 * * * cd /path/to/kia-live-serverside && ./run_pipeline.sh --skip-download --skip-extract --skip-train >> logs/pipeline.log 2>&1 |
| 348 | +``` |
| 349 | + |
| 350 | +### Systemd Service |
| 351 | + |
| 352 | +For production deployment, consider creating a systemd service to run the server after pipeline completion. |
