Results for area 1.6 Processes, phenomena and events

term
transport; transportation
definition

transportation movement of people and goods from one location to another performed by modes, such as air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and   and the field comprises the attributes of infrastructure, vehicles, and operations

term
fragmentation
definition

function performed by the transfer kernel to map one ASDU on multiple LSDUs

NOTE1 In ISO/IEC 7498-1, fragmentation is called segmentation.

NOTE2 The inverse function is called defragmentation or, in ISO/IEC 7498-1, disassembling.

standard (extract)
term
incorrect read
definition

failure to read correctly all or part of a data set

standard (extract)
term
communication initialization
definition

procedure used to establish communication between an RSU and a newly arrived OBU

standard (extract)
term
intermodal transport
definition

movement of goods in one or more loading unit(s) or vehicle(s) which uses successively several modes of transport without handling of the goods themselves when changing modes

standard (extract)
term
intermodal (freight) transport
definition

movement of goods in one and the same loading unit (e.g. intermodal container) or vehicle which uses several modes of transport successively without handling the goods themselves when changing modes

standard (extract)
term
collection method (CM)
definition

method used to obtain data, for example manual or computation

standard (extract)
term
calculation/estimation method (CA)
definition

the method used for calulation or estimation

standard (extract)
term
modulation
definition

keying of the carrier wave by coded data

standard (extract)
term
monitoring
definition

collection and assessment of status data for a process or a system

NOTE 1 to entry This can be used to observe metrics during operation.

standard (extract)
term
multimodal transport
definition

carriage of goods by at least two different modes of transport.

NOTE In contrast, intermodal transport implies changing from mode to another using the same form of loading unit.

Multimodal transport implies that either there is more than one modal shift, or that loads can be broken into partial loads as part of a modal change.

term
multiplexing
definition

function within the Transfer Kernel allowing simultaneous support for more that one Application in a single OBU

standard (extract)
term
operation
definition

abstract representation of behaviour invoked in an entity

standard (extract)
term
data provision
definition

act of providing data to a core system

standard (extract)
term
delivery notification
standard (extract)
term
land transport
definition

mode of transport that is effected using roads and railways and may in some cases include use of inland waterways

standard (extract)
term
process
definition

sequence of tasks or set of interrelated tasks which transform inputs into outputs

standard (extract)
term
business process (BP)
definition

collection of related, structured activities or tasks that serves a particular business goal

NOTE 1 to entry Complex business processes may involve many participants and can be made up of other business processes. The simplest business process involving two participants is known as a business transaction.

standard (extract)
term
schema validation
definition

the process of parsing an XML document against its schema. To be validated successfully, an XML document must be both well-formed: that is, comprise a set of tags that are syntactically correct XML so that it can be parsed, and valid: that is, conform to any constraints expressed in the document as to data type and integrity of reference.

standard (extract)
term
(data) lifecycle process
definition

process based on data element transformation

standard (extract)
term
enrolment
definition

official registration to participate

standard (extract)
term
access methods
definition

procedures and protocols to provision and retrieve data

term
media adaptation
definition

function to adapt the communication media (air interface propagated modulation) to communication and computing equipment

standard (extract)
term
retrofit
definition

addition of new technology or features to existing systems

standard (extract)
term
simulation
definition

representation of selected behavioural characteristics of one physical or abstract system by another system

term
process specification
definition

document that defines a lowest-level process

standard (extract)
term
computational specification
definition

decomposition of a system into objects performing individual functions and interacting at well defined interfaces

standard (extract)
term
parsing
definition

analysing (a string, text or data) into logical syntactic components

standard (extract)
term
event
definition

an instantaneous activity occurring spontaneously

standard (extract)
term
termination
definition

the procedure used to terminate communication between a RSU and an OBU

definition

action that is fulfilled by a role

standard (extract)
term

definition

confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled

standard (extract)
term

it is determined the victim must be taken to a hospital.

standard (extract)
term
chaining
definition

function performed by the Transfer Kernel to link the execution of service primitives together

standard (extract)
term
ignition on (I-ON)
definition

first action taken by a driver to make the car operate

NOTE This may typically be turning a key in an ignition sequence or other methods of vehicle operation as specified by vehicle manufacturer
