Add support to geocoder and data-prep for new ITN local/express ferry classes about ols-geocoder HOT 8 CLOSED

Support was already added for FERRY_PASSENGER.

from ols-geocoder.

At MOTI's request, BC Ferries is going to create new ferry classes this fiscal to distinguish local from express so that routers won't jump from one the other at common docks.

Why would we not change ferries at a dock? What does "support" mean in terms of the geocoder? Just add them to the accepted road classes? Ferries segments don't have addressing anyway, I think we just need to ignore them at some level.

I might not have the new typology right but from what I recall, OnRoute was having trouble routing with the current ferry classes and we would too if BC Ferries didn't add new ferry classes

Issue moved to bcgov/ols-router bcgov/api-specs#21 via ZenHub

from ols-geocoder.

Doesn't this belong in ols-router, if anywhere? I don't think that ITN added these yet.

from ols-geocoder.

You're right. BC Ferries promised to restructure the ferry routes so its a future thing which is why I took it out of this year's work. I thought it would apply to both Geocodable BC Maker and Routable BC Maker.

Closing for now.
