Houston TranStar Watcher
Overview
This skill is a specialized traffic monitor for the Greater Houston area. It interfaces with the Houston TranStar Real-Time Incident RSS feed to detect new accidents, stalled vehicles, and road closures.
Technical Runbook
The following logic is executed every 10 minutes via the internal cron scheduler:
- 1. Script Execution: The skill navigates to the local directory and executes the diff-check logic:
```bash
python3 transtar_diff.py
- 2. Output Parsing: - If the script returns the string NO_CHANGES, the process terminates immediately to save bandwidth and prevent notification fatigue.
If any other text is returned, it is treated as a "Delta Report" of new incidents.
- 3. Delivery Logic
When a "Delta Report" is generated, the content is formatted for mobile viewing and pushed via the WhatsApp Gateway to the configured recipient.
- 4. Use Cases
Automated commute monitoring for Houston residents.
Alerting logistics teams to major freeway closures on I-10, I-45, and US-59.3.
休斯顿交通之星监控器
概述
本技能是专为大休斯顿地区设计的交通监控工具。它通过连接休斯顿交通之星实时事件RSS订阅源，检测新发生的事故、故障车辆和道路封闭情况。
技术运行手册
以下逻辑通过内部定时调度器每10分钟执行一次：
- 1. 脚本执行： 技能导航至本地目录并执行差异检查逻辑：
bash
python3 transtar_diff.py
- 2. 输出解析： - 如果脚本返回字符串NO_CHANGES，进程立即终止，以节省带宽并防止通知疲劳。
如果返回任何其他文本，则将其视为新事件的增量报告。
- 3. 投递逻辑
当生成增量报告时，内容会被格式化为适合移动端查看的格式，并通过WhatsApp网关推送到配置的接收方。
- 4. 使用场景
- 休斯顿居民的通勤自动监控。
- 向物流团队预警I-10、I-45和US-59等主要高速公路的封闭情况。
