Frequently Asked Questions

How are ambient conditions handled?

Ratings Proposals can include the ambient conditions that were used to determine the ratings within the inputs-used attribute of period. These are also returned in the proposals-considered of a detailed limits snapshot, e.g., the application/vnd.trolie.forecast-limits-detailed-snapshot.v1+json media type.

How is day/night handled?

Currently, the exchange of tables that map ambient conditions to ratings is not in TROLIE scope.

Ratings Providers MAY specify day/night information as described in above.

Seasonal Ratings in the API have an affordance to specify daytime versus night-time ratings: Each “season” (a period in TROLIE) may populate an optional day-night attribute. See the spec for details.
