Carpooling POC

[t2gran]

Summary

This PR introduces carpooling as a sandbox feature in OTP, enabling passengers to be matched with shared carpool trips and integrating carpooling into multi-modal journey planning.

Key capabilities:

• Direct carpooling routing (door-to-door trips)
• Optimal passenger insertion into multi-stop carpool routes
• Real-time updates via SIRI-ET
• Multi-phase filtering (capacity, time, distance, direction)
• A* street routing with performance optimizations

Implementation approach:

• Sandbox feature behind OTPFeature.CarPooling toggle
• Comprehensive test coverage (189+ tests, 100% passing)

Context:
This POC enables pilot programs where carpooling services integrate with public transit. Development is expected to take at least one year as we refine the feature based on pilot feedback and work with SIRI standardization in parallel.

What's Included

Core Routing

• Optimal insertion algorithm with A* routing
• Multi-stop trip support with passenger delta tracking
• Passenger delay constraint validation (protects existing passengers)
• Multi-phase filtering to eliminate incompatible trips

Data Management

• CarpoolTrip domain model
• SIRI-ET real-time updates via SiriETCarpoolingUpdater

Performance Optimizations

• Beeline heuristics for early rejection
• Segment caching
• Ordered filter chain for maximum early rejection

API Integration

• GraphQL carpooling types (CarpoolLeg)
• Transmodel schema integration

---

What's NOT Included (Future Work)

Not in this PR:

• Access/egress routing (actively being developed)
• Pickup/dropoff area restrictions
• Seat reservation system
• Driver/passenger preference matching (wheelchair, bike compatibility, etc.)
• Fare integration
• Scaling optimizations for large trip counts

---

Configuration

Enable feature:

// otp-config.json
{
  "otpFeatures": {
    "CarPooling": true
  }
}

Configure SIRI-ET updater:
// router-config.json
{
  "updaters": [
    {
      "type": "siri-et-carpooling-updater",
      "feedId": "carpool-provider",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/siri",
      "frequencySec": 30
    }
  ]
}

Issue

Part of #7012 (carpooling feature request)
Supersedes #6604 (original POC issue)

---

Unit tests

189+ carpooling-specific tests (100% passing)

Test infrastructure includes builders and mocks for fast, isolated testing without graph infrastructure.

---

Documentation

JavaDoc throughout codebase

---

Changelog

Added:

• Carpooling sandbox feature with optimal insertion routing
• SIRI-ET carpooling updater for real-time trip updates

Configuration:

• OTPFeature.CarPooling toggle (disabled by default)
• SIRI-ET carpooling updater

---

Bumping the serialization version id

N/A - Sandbox feature does not require serialization bump (carpool trips stored in-memory only, not in graph.obj).

---

Migration / Compatibility

No breaking changes - all functionality behind OTPFeature.CarPooling toggle (disabled by default).
