Steps
Set is_virtual_station to true in station_information.json for geofenced or rack-based parking areas that lack smart-dock hardware, and define the area with station_area (GeoJSON MultiPolygon) and/or lat/lon.
Use vehicle_types_capacity[] (an array of {vehicle_type_ids[], count}) to express how many of each vehicle type the virtual station can hold; the counts should sum to the station's overall capacity field.
For physical docking stations, use the analogous vehicle_docks_capacity[] to express how many docks accept which vehicle_type_ids.
Keep capacity fields consistent with what you publish in real-time station_status.json, since capacity is static/slow-changing while status is near-real-time.
Note that station_area, when present, takes precedence over ride_start_allowed/ride_end_allowed rules from any overlapping geofencing_zones.json entry.
Known gotchas
vehicle_types_capacity and vehicle_docks_capacity are v3.0 field names/shapes — don't reuse the old singular vehicle_type_capacity object structure from earlier feeds.
These fields only make sense once vehicle_types.json exists; a feed with a single implicit vehicle type doesn't need per-type capacity breakdowns.
