This is a proposal to add block_group_id to trips.txt and deadheads.txt, and block_id to deadheads.txt. The intention to is to handle the need to group blocks together when you are using EV's. Traditionally, a block_id can cover either the entire string of trips for a specific vehicle over a day or model the peak work. It does not have to show what 1 vehicle will do for an entire day. This becomes important when trying to keep track of the amount of energy in a battery for a given vehicle.
block_id
Add to deadheads.txt to keep trip of which block is part of a deadhead.
block_group_id
A unique integer value per service_id, which helps group together all events that 1 physical vehicle does on a single service day.
