So as we know, ETA is not published anytime soon after the boat departs.
An alternative idea (and one that will allow us to calculate ETA when WSF goes down and we fallback to the 3rd party AIS API (likely https://aisstream.io/)), is to reference a lookup table that maps Progress to ETA. We know that via GPS we have a very accurate crossing percentage. So we should fairly easily be able to create a table via observation & logging.
Perhaps we can even do the calculations between integers (interpolating?), so we don't need such a precise table.
Obviously the boat accelerates and decelerates, but the table will reflect that.
Perhaps there are linear or logarithmic maths that can be applied (not my strength).
There would need to be a table for each route (duh).
If we wanted to get real fancy, we could have sub-tables for the vessel classes (because they have different top/average speeds). So if Tacoma is on SEA-BI we'd apply the Jumbo MkII table.
