Release Note for Tukko - V1.1 Release : Tukko_Rel_V1.1_22042024

Release Date

22.04.2024

Overview

Tukko was originally IoTude's project during WIMMA Labs summer 2023 program. We, the ESCapes got an assignment to improve Tukko. We have implemented new features, improved some old ones, and overall tried to make the application better.

Tukko is a software application that visualizes traffic conditions on a map, allowing users to see congestion and plan routes accordingly. It integrates data on traffic flow, vehicle counts from LAM ("Liikenteen Automaattiset Mittaustiedot" or "automatic measurement data of traffic") stations, and roadwork locations.

New Features

  • Feature 101: Users should be able to compare the stations' data simultaneously and in an easy-to-use manner.

  • Feature 109: The ability to search locations by name enhances user convenience and efficiency, allowing for quicker access to desired destinations.

  • Feature 112: Update sites branding to ESCapes and JAMK brand, to increase visibility.

  • Feature 201: Users should be able to export data in csv format in needed. You can extract data from the last 30 days.

  • Feature 302: Display traffic situation in Sweden to users. This feature would double our scale and make Tukko useful for a larger audience.

  • Feature 304: Localization into Swedish improves accessibility and user experience for the Swedish-speaking audience, making the application more inclusive and user-friendly.

Bug Fixes

  • #003: Searchbar button changes places after changing language.
  • #004: Dark mode +/- color behavior on max and min zoom levels.

Known Issues/Limitations

  • Issue 1: If traffic data from Sweden disappears after the service has been running for a while, you will need to restart the docker containers to reload the data.
  • Issue 2: LAM stations compare feature could still use some UI changes.
  • Issue 3: Dark mode could use some enhancements.
  • Issue 4: Enhance color contrast for color blindness.
  • Issue 5: Tukko extracts too slowly big amounts of data.
  • Issue 6: Some roadwork descriptions are not translated into English or Swedish and are instead labeled as 'Other' and 'Annat,' respectively. Currently, there are no workarounds for this issue.
  • Issue 7: Users cannot compare LAM station data side by side in Sweden. Currently, there are no workarounds for this issue.
  • Issue 8: Double clicking a LAM station in Sweden opens a popup with the option to view history data. History data is not currently implemented in Sweden.
  • Issue 9: Some two LAM station clusters in Sweden can have some issues showing traffic data from selected station. Clicking on the cluster should open the previously selected lane's data.

Upgrade Instructions

If user wants to install their own local Tukko, we recommend a clean install of the service.
