Our developer faced a recurring issue where he would only discover train disruptions upon arriving at the platform, causing delays on his way to work. To solve this, he developed a system that proactively notifies users of planned disruptions on specific routes, allowing them to adjust their travel plans accordingly.
Each evening, a server task uses the Insert from URL function to retrieve an HTML page containing disruption information for a specified route. The HTML data is then parsed to identify any planned disruptions on that route.
If a disruption is detected on the monitored route, a notification is sent via Pushover including a link to detailed information about the disruption, ensuring the user is informed in advance directly on their mobile device.
