commercial, technical and security objectives of IFM
a ticket for a product stored on a sales or reservation database and not printed or stored on any other media; the passenger may be supplied with a receipt that appears to be another form of ticket, but the receipt is not an e-ticket
NOTE 1 to entry The passenger demonstrates his/her right to use the transport service defined by the product by providing such identification and in such a manner as specified by the carrier(s) and as advised to the passenger by the retailer. One such manner is manifest on list.

EXAMPLE All activities related to the tactical planning of transportation, splitting into vehicle scheduling, driver scheduling, and rostering.
a preliminary CEN Technical Specification, CEN standard, EN 28701:2009, that provides a Reference Data Model for describing the main fixed objects required for public access to Public transport
all activities related to informing the users either about the planned or about the actual transportation services
a passenger information system is concerned with:
- Information provision and exchange about the network services (timetables, etc),
- Optimization of passenger trips (trip proposals made according to specific criteria, etc),
- Management of Public Transport resources (sales points, validators, passenger information devices, etc)
an indicator with a sign panel with visual information is a part of a non-interactive dynamic passenger information on the ground
technical interoperability provided by the usage of the same format for writing transit data in the payment application
a QUAY Passenger Information System or Stop Passenger Information System is primary defined as non interactive dynamic man machine interface between the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System (AVMS) and the PASSENGER at a QUAY
NOTE It should comply with ENV 13998 – Non-interactive dynamic passenger information on ground. This interface is basically visual. It has to incorporate an audio communicator to give audio information on demand from the VIP.
a Transport Information System which provides travellers with optimized information to plan their door to door journeys and to support them during their intermodal trip
NOTE IJP systems provide timetable, routing and other travel information. An intermodal journey planner covers multiple modes of transport including both public transport (bus, rail, air, tram and underground) and private transport (car journeys, use of footpaths, cycle routes) on the road and path networks. Depending of the timetable of PT different stop points as start and end the PT TRIP may result.
any piece of hardware and/or software that performs one or more functions in the IFM
surveillance Information System is primarily a dynamic non interactive man machine interface between the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System (AVMS) and the PASSENGER at a STOP PLACE ENTRANCE, ACCESS SPACE or similar location
NOTE This interface is basically visual and would be in compliance with ENV 13998, Non-interactive dynamic passenger information on ground. It should have an incorporated audio communicator to give audio information on demand from a VIP over a fixed loudspeaker.
all activities related to the transportation process, i.e. real-time functions related to the driving and transportation of passengers according to given instructions, including the monitoring of the driving process and its control in case of deviations, as well as all activities that support the driving process (traffic light priority, track switching, bay selection, advance/delay advice etc.).
NOTE 1 to entry Such functions are often assisted by computer-aided tools, known as Automated Vehicle Monitoring (AVM)
the Vehicle part of the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System; VBICS is created by all devices installed onboard the vehicle, which are controlled by the board computer (controller)
a journey planner will normally provide the nearest points of access to PT for the origin (PLACE) and destination (PLACE) of the trip; it doesn’t optimize the whole trip (door to door) (see INTERMODAL JOURNEY PLANNER) but the PT TRIP
acceptance of payment application at the merchant point of sales whatever the payment application issuer is and whatever the merchant acquirer is
NOTE 1 to entry Payment interoperability is ensured by rules and certification process enforced at each payment application scheme level and by EMVCo.
EN 15531-1 to 3 and TS 15531-4 and 5, a CEN protocol in XML, based on Transmodel that specifies services about public transport real-time services and vehicles, such as vehicle monitoring, stop monitoring, and more.)
rules defining the price and payment relationships to the customer
regulations for achieving IFM Policies expressed as technical, commercial, security and legal requirements and standards relevant only to the IFMS
CEN standard (EN 12896) for reference data model for public transport information which provides an abstract model of common public transport concepts and data structures that can be used to build many different kind of public transport information system, including for timetabling, fares, operational management, real-time data, journey planning, etc.
a TRAIN ELEMENT is an elementary component of a TRAIN (e.g. car, locomotive).
vehicle specifically designed to carry multiple passengers, e.g. a bus
NOTE 1 to entry Does not refer to taxis or similar vehicles.
all activities related to the collection of money from passengers

EXAMPLE 1 Bus, tram, cable car, metro, train and ferry are examples of public transport means for collective use.
EXAMPLE 2 Publicly-accessible shared cars, shared bikes and shared el-scooters are examples of public transport means for shared and individual use.
NOTE 1 to entry A public transport service can be scheduled or on-demand.
NOTE 2 to entry A public transport service is based on the use of publicly accessible transport means for collective, shared or individual use.
