parse-vbb-station-name

Station names in VBB/BVG data are terribly inconsistent, cluttered with abbreviations, phrases to tell identically named places apart, and unhelpful suffixes like , Bahnhof. parse-vbb-station-name tries to parse those names into a meaningful structure.

Installing

npm install parse-vbb-station-name

Usage

const parse = require('parse-vbb-station-name')

console.log(parse('S+U Neukölln (Berlin) [U7]')) // 900078272

{
    sbahnUbahn: {type: 'sbahnUbahn', text: 'S+U', offset: 0},
    name: {type: 'text', text: 'Neukölln', offset: 4},
    differentiators: [
        {type: 'differentiator', text: 'Berlin', offset: 14},
    ],
    part: [
        {type: 'line', text: 'U7', offset: 23},
    ],
}

console.log(parse('Eggersdorf (Strausberg), Schule')) // 900320601

        differentiators: [

        ],
    },
}
