the time taken to traverse a TIMING LINK during a DEAD RUN, for a specified TIME DEMAND TYPE; this time may be superseded by the JOURNEY PATTERN RUN TIME or VEHICLE JOURNEY RUN TIME if these exist

a SERVICE JOURNEY is a VEHICLE JOURNEY on which PASSENGERS will be allowed to board or alight from VEHICLES at STOP PLACES

NOTE These journeys are usually published and known by PASSENGERS.

the JOURNEY PATTERN for a (passenger carrying) SERVICE JOURNEY

the scheduled possibility for transfer of passengers between two SERVICE JOURNEYs at the same or different STOP POINTs

NOTE 1 to entry: In SIRI, there are mechanisms for managing the real-time INTERCHANGE between Feeder VEHICLE JOURNEYS and Distributor VEHICLE JOURNEYS. Also known as “Connection Protection”.

NOTE 1 to entry: There are four different degrees of interchange management: • PLANNED – an interchange is intended in the normal static timetable.

• ADVERTISED – an interchange is intended and is publicised as being possible.

• CONTROLLED – the interchange is actively monitored to inform travellers whether the interchange can be made.

• GUARANTEED – the Distributor Service will be delayed to ensure the connection.

The SERVICE JOURNEY INTERCHANGE allows as well the storing of a quality parameter for ensuring connections, providing the maximum time a vehicle may wait for connecting vehicles, beyond the planned departure time.

a complete journey operated by a coupled train, composed of two or more VEHICLE JOURNEYs remaining coupled together all along a JOURNEY PATTERN

NOTE A COUPLED JOURNEY may be viewed as a single VEHICLE JOURNEY.

a particular journey of a vehicle on a particular OPERATING DAY, including all modifications decided by the control staff

a group of SERVICEs, often known to its users by a name or a number

a named grouping of LINEs under which a transport network is known

a DATED VEHICLE JOURNEY identical to a long-term planned VEHICLE JOURNEY, possibly updated according to short-term modifications of the PRODUCTION PLAN decided by the control staff

a text for informational purposes on exceptions in a LINE, a JOURNEY PATTERN, etc. The information may be usable for passenger or driver information

the assignment of a NOTICE showing an exception in a JOURNEY PATTERN, a COMMON SECTION, or a VEHICLE JOURNEY, possibly specifying at which POINT IN JOURNEY PATTERN the validity of the NOTICE starts and ends respectively

a particular week day (from Monday to Sunday)

DAY TYPE that is defined in terms of operation or not operation of a referenced SERVICED ORGANISATION

a non-service VEHICLE JOURNEY

the physical (spatial) possibility for a passenger to change from one public transport vehicle to another to continue the trip

NOTE It specifies default times to be used to change from one mode of transport to another at an area or national level as specified by a TOPOGRAPHIC PLACE, STOP AREA or SITE ELEMENT. It may be restricted to a specific MODE or OPERATOR or only apply in a particular direction of transfer, e.g. bus to rail may have a different time for rail to bus.

a quality parameter fixing the acceptable duration (standard and maximum) for an INTERCHANGE to be planned between two SCHEDULED STOP POINTs; this parameter will be used to control whether any two VEHICLE JOURNEYs serving those points may be in connection

a variant text of a NOTICE for use in a specific media or delivery channel (voice, printed material, etc.)

an ORGANIZATION PART specific to a purpose and/or organisational structure

functional purpose for which GROUPs of elements are defined

NOTE The PURPOSE OF GROUPING may be restricted to one or more types of the given object.

a strategy to bring a vehicle back onto schedule by curtailing the end of one VEHICLE JOURNEY and the start of another

NOTE 1 to entry Short Working is a type of CHANGE IN JOURNEY PATTERN.

opportunity for customers to move between one part of an IFMS to any other part of the same or another IFMS with the minimum of inconvenience, according to their own journey plan using any combination of transport mode and Service Operator using a single Medium

a means of distinguishing repeated visits to a stop by a vehicle within the same JOURNEY PATTERN. A Monotonically increasing number that is unique within a given STOP POINT for a given JOURNEY PATTERN.

When combined with the STOP POINT Identifier the STOP VISIT COUNT can be used to uniquely identify the position of the vehicle along a JOURNEY PATTERN.

a visit by a VEHICLE to a specific STOP POINT as it follows the JOURNEY PATTERN of its VEHICLE JOURNEY to achieve a set of planned and estimated PASSING TIMEs

NOTE A VEHICLE may make more than one Call to the same stop in the course of a JOURNEY: different calls may typically be distinguished by a Visit Number count. The Call may have real time data associated with it. A SIRI Call may be regarded as a useful optimisation of a more normalised set of structures that are articulated separately in TransModel. Call combines the TransModel elements of POINT IN JOURNEY PATTERN in with ESTIMATED PASSING TIME, OBSERVED PASSING TIME, & TARGET PASSING TIME, along with real time elements and other stop properties pertaining to the visit.

NOTE that SIRI segregates all elements pertaining to arrival from those pertaining to departure, again facilitating the validation and implementation of actual systems.

the status of a vehicle with an active Panic Alarm indicating a security or other incident that is likely to delay the journey according to non-deterministic factors; any predictions are likely to be inaccurate

a typology of congestions resulting from CHECK CONSTRAINT (e.g. no waiting, queue, crowding, full)

a classification of requirements for a public transport VEHICLE according to the Manoeuvring capabilities of the vehicle

a part of a TRIP starting from the first boarding of a PT vehicle to the last alighting from a PT vehicle

NOTE A PT TRIP consists of one or more RIDEs and the movements (usually walks) necessary to cover the corresponding CONNECTION LINKS.

visually impaired (handicapped) person or people

a PASSING TIME on a particular OPERATING DAY
