Reason

Until now Routing applications have no possibility to route via Shuttle Trains.

Similar to Ferry-Routes on Shuttle Trains cars are transported from some start point to some end point.

Example

The Shuttle Train Route Niebüll-Westerland (Sylt/Germany) is mapped using the proposed tag.

Autoverladung Furka-Pass is mapped using the proposed tag:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_car&route=46.53324%2C8.35153%3B46.60356%2C8.51484#map=13/46.5661/8.4338

Euro-Shuttle Calais-Dover is mapped using the proposed tag:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_car&route=50.9293%2C1.8992%3B51.1049%2C1.0973#map=11/51.0144/1.4986

Mapping

A way with the tag route=shuttle_train is mapped from the start to the end point of the connection. On the end points the way is connected to the road network.

Instead of a way also a relation with the tag route=shuttle_train may be used (recommended).

The transition points from railway to the road network are marked with railway=car_shuttle.

Usefull combinations

The tag duration=* may be used to indicate the avarage transportation time (without transit times).

The tag access=* may be used to indicate who is allowed to use the shuttle service.

Routers

List of Routers respecting this tag (maybe incomplete):

• GraphHopper
• AIO Garmin Map
• osm2po ( http://osm2po.de/ )
• Osmand ( http://osmand.net/ )
• organic maps ( https://organicmaps.app/ )
