term
destination zone
definition

these are closed polygons of any type (except concave) with 7 corners maximum within a beacon region; individual destinations within a zone are considered to have the same destination by the system thereby reducing significantly the possible number of destinations and the guidance information necessary; zones can be of any size to suit the terminal guidance accuracy required and large zones can be sub-divided if required

standard (extract)
term
queuing time
definition

the time accumulated between two measurement points while the vehicle travelled below a predefined queue speed limit

standard (extract)
term
interval time (IVT)
definition

allows the description of repeated events within a certain time frame, such as running a special service but only for a limited period; for example an additional service may be added for a period of three weeks, but it only runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so the STA and STO will mark the period, but IVT will be needed to clarify the addition applies to specific days

standard (extract)
term
additional information
definition

a combination of several elements to allow making full use of media links, back channels and to facilitate the description of less common occurrences and allow the listing of emergency numbers; for the full use it needs Function Types as they are defined in TPEG table pti30

term
guidance information
definition

a guidance information is a chain of “links” a vehicle has to follow from its actual position to the next beacon or directly to its destination zone, if nearer than neighbouring beacons; both the sequence of those links and their exact geometrical representation are described here, together with attributes, to be displayed to the driver

standard (extract)
term
position
definition

position defines where an event has taken place in relation to the road: e.g. driving lane 1, hard shoulder, central reservation, etc.

NOTE The driving lanes are numbered according to the usual local practice, i.e. driving Lane 1 is the lane nearest to the hard shoulder. In countries which drive on the left, driving lanes are hence numbered from left-to-right, and in countries driving on the right, from right-to-left.

NOTE Position is an event element and NOT a location reference element.
