NOTE See also OBSERVED PASSING TIME and ESTIMATED PASSING TIME. In TransModel, TARGET is synonymous with AIMED.
the concept of passing time may be viewed as a simple passage (e.g. of a bus at a stop point) or as a longer stay (e.g. in maritime ports of call)
NOTE The attributes describing the waiting time in the subtypes of passing time, in particular, will be used to describe such a call. The attribute ‘alight and reboard’ will express the possibility for the passenger to alight for a while, during the passing time of a vehicle journey at a particular stop poing.
The passing times that are computed on a specific operating day are called dated passing time.
This entity has several subtypes; TARGET PASSING TIME, the latest official plan for a dated vehicle journey, on a point in journey pattern; ESTIMATED PASSING TIME, a forecast for a monitored vehicle journey on a point in journy pattern; OBSERVED PASSING TIME, recorded for a monitored vehicle journey, on a particular point.

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.

a SIRI Notification Producer mediates the flow of notifications it processes so as to reduce the amount of data traffic to a subscriber. All SIRI subscriptions for a Subscriber are automatically assigned to a Subscriber Channel. The subscriptions in a channel are mediated collectively; if a Situation affects more than one subscription within a channel, only a single notification is sent to the subscriber. The resulting delivery contains all updates for all subscriptions in the channel. There is at least one subscriber channel per Subscriber; some implementations may allow more than one channel for a given subscriber.
a web service endpoint is a referenceable, entity, or processor resource to which Web Service messages can be targeted. Endpoint references convey the information needed to identify and reference a Web service.
Endpoint references are used to provide addresses for individual messages sent to and from Web Services, both synchronously and asynchronously. An endpoint reference includes an Address (the URI to which to send a message) and also Endpoint Reference Properties, that identify stateful resources, such as subscriptions. They may also indicate a Port and Processing Policies. WS-PubSub and the other web service standards require the separation of the endpoint references from their bindings to a given transport protocol, such as SOAP.
In SIRI, each Participant is an endpoint for each of its roles in message exchange, i.e. Subscriber, Producer and Consumer. A Subscription Reference is an Endpoint property and is typically made up of two parts: (i) a Participant Reference, which may be specified in the configuration to indicate the Control Centre, and is not necessarily repeated explicitly on individual messages, and (ii) the Subscription Identifier, which is a serial number for an individual subscription that is unique within the SIRI Functional Service and Participant Reference.

T
NOTE he visit may include an arrival, departure or both, for each of which it may have separate Targeted (aimed), Estimated and Observed (Actual) times.
a POINT in a journey where PASSENGERs can board or alight from VEHICLES
NOTE SCHEDULED STOP POINT refines the primary Transmodel sense of a STOP POINT, which is that of the logical stop point within a scheduled journey, rather than a physical point in the infrastructure where boarding and alighting may take place, for which the terms for specific STOP PLACE COMPONENTS such as QUAY or BOARDING POSITION are used; although the same identifiers are often used for both SCHEDULED STOP POINT and STOP PLACE COMPONENT, a practice which provides significant benefits for data management, they nonetheless represent distinct concepts. A STOP POINT ASSIGNMENT is used to associate a SCHEDULED STOP POINT with a STOP PLACE COMPONENT.

Each end of an ACCESS PATH LINK connects to an entity that is a concrete subtype of PLACE, for example STOP PLACE, POINT OF INTEREST, ADDRESS, ROAD ADDRESS, QUAY, etc that is an ACCESSIBLE PLACE. Each end of an ACCESS PATH LINK may further have a specific ENTRANCE of the same concrete subtype of PLACE associated with that end, that is, STOP PLACE ENTRANCE, QUAY ENTRANCE, POINT OF INTEREST ENTRANCE, etc. to indicate the exact entrance to the building. Inside a physical STOP PLACE, STOP PATH LINKs should be used instead of ACCESS PATH LINKs.
A path between any two physical STOP PLACE SPACES within an interchange that represents a step of a possible transfer route for passengers within a STOP PLACE
NOTE: A STOP PATH LINK is a STOP PLACE COMPONENT in its own right and may have ACCESSIBILITY LIMITATIONS and CHECKPOINTS associated with it to indicate impediments that may prevent access or slow a user down. A sequence of one or more STOP PATH LINKS may make up a NAVIGATION PATH. Each end of a STOP PATH LINK connects to an entity that is a concrete subtype of an ABSTRACT STOP PLACE SPACE, that is, ACCESS SPACE or QUAY or BOARDING POSITION. Each end of a STOP PATH LINK may further have a specific ENTRANCE of the same concrete subtype of ABSTRACT STOP PLACE SPACE associated with that end, that is QUAY ENTRANCE, ACCESS SPACE ENTRANCE or BOARDING POSITION ENTRANCE. STOP PATH LINKs may be used only within an interchange. ACCESS PATH LINKS may be used for PATH LINKs outside the physical STOP PLACE.
physical (spatial) possibility for a passenger to access or leave the public transport system
Note 1 to entry This link may be used during a trip for: the walking movement of a passenger from a PLACE (origin of the trip) to a STOP POINT (origin of the PT TRIP); or the walking movement from a STOP POINT (destination of the PT TRIP) to a PLACE (destination of the trip).
Note 2 to entry: In IFOPT, a STOP PLACE, an ADDRESS, a POINT of INTEREST, a PARKING and a TOPOGRAPHICAL PLACE are all types of PLACE and so an ACCESS LINK may also explicitly connect them.
specialisation of LOCAL SERVICE dedicated to hire services (e.g. cycle hire, car hire)
a set of computer-to-computer messages between involved parties including carriers, issuers, retailers, distributors, attributors, station managers and TCOs that allow for the indirect fulfilment of all types of tickets excluding a conventional ticket

a Participant Reference i.e. identifier of a Participant acting as a Subscriber: provides a unique scope for the Message Reference
ZONE for which the duration to cover any ACCESS LINK to a particular STOP POINT is the same
NOTE 1 to entry: The IFOPT Concept of an ACCESS SPACE is distinct from the Transmodel concept of an ACCESS ZONE as an ACCESS SPACE may have different NAVIGATION PATHS whose traversal takes different durations.
passenger’s requirements for ACCESSIBILITY, comprising one or more USER NEEDs
NOTE 1 to entry: For example, that they are unable to navigate stairs, or lifts, or have visual or auditory impairments. PASSENGER ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS can be used to derive an accessibility constraint for the passenger, allowing the computation of paths for passengers with specifically constrained mobility.
EXAMPLES Wheelchair, No Lifts, No Stairs.
a passenger area within a STOP PLACE such as a concourse or booking hall, immigration hall or security area that is accessible by passengers, but without a direct access to vehicles
NOTE Direct access to a VEHICLE is always from a QUAY and/or BOARDING POSITION. An ACCESS SPACE may be a Room, Hall, Concourse, Corridor, or bounded open space within a STOP PLACE.
the role of the incoming VEHICLE to and VEHICLE JOURNEY at a TARGETED INTERCHANGE, which feeds passengers to an arrival STOP POINT having a CONNECTION LINK to a departure STOP POINT from where they will board a Distributor Service. A VEHICLE may perform both feeder and distributor roles at the same time, that is, both set down passengers to transfer to other services, and board passengers from other services.
set of VERSIONS referring to the same DATA SYSTEM and belonging to the same TYPE OF FRAME
Note 1 to entry: A FRAME may be restricted by VALIDITY CONDITIONs.
Note 2 to entry: In IFOPT, used to group elements such as STOP PLACEs, STOP PLACE SPACEs and PATH LINKs into a common model version when each item does not have its own version.
a Publisher Registration represents the relationship between a Publisher and a Notification Broker, an optional WS-PubSub intermediary that can be introduced to delegate the distribution of Notification Messages to one or more distinct entities that act as Notification Producers

the identifier issued to identify a Subscription, and subsequently used to refer to it in further exchanges within the Publish/Subscribe stateful resource pattern
NOTE In SIRI, the Subscription Reference comprises two parts: the Subscriber Reference (i.e. the Participant Code of the subscriber), and the Subscription Identifier: unique within the scope of a Participant Reference. Subscriber References are issued by a Subscriber in SIRI, not the Producer.
Formally in WS-PubSub, a subscription reference is a WS resource returned in a Subscription Response containing the address of the Subscription Manager, and the Subscription Identifier. In SIRI the address of the Subscription Manager is obtained indirectly.
unique identifier of a Control Centre or other type of Service Participant
NOTE The reference is bilaterally agreed between participating systems, and will typically be unique for a region of a country within which systems need to communicate. The Participant Reference is used to scope other data identifiers within each bilateral date reference agreement.
scope of ticket
an action resulting from a decision taken by the controller causing an amendment of the operation planned in the PRODUCTION PLAN
an ORGANISATIONAL UNIT that manages a network or networks of vehicles and their attendant real-time systems, and corresponding specifically to a SIRI Service Participant
NOTE Each Control Centre has a uniquely identifier, (the Control Centre Code), which provides a scope (i.e. unique namespace) for all non-global data references, such as stop identifiers, vehicle identifiers, etc. Within a Control centre, references must be unique. VEHICLES and JOURNEYS within the span of control of a given Control Centre are Local; VEHICLES and JOURNEYS within the span of control of an external Control Centre are Foreign.

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.
a map representing schematically the layout of the topographic structure of the public transport network (a set of LINEs) and a set of SITEs; it can include a pixel projection of a set of ENTITies onto a bitmap image so as to support hyperlinked interactions
a coherent named set of features that a SIRI Functional Service may implement to provide particular application functionality
NOTE Some capabilities are common to all services; others are specific to individual functional services. Each SIRI functional service has a number of required capabilities, a number of capabilities for which alternatives are allowed, and a number of optional capabilities. A Capability Matrix is used both to specify the named capabilities for each SIRI functional service, and for the capabilities common to all SIRI functional services.

NOTE A Situation can be a change of state in the service itself, or an event in the context of the systems it monitors. A Publisher that detects a Situation will create a Notification Message.
set of traffic/travel circumstances linked by a causal relationship which apply to a common set of locations
Note 1 to entry: A situation can be composed of situation elements.
Note 2 to entry: SITUATION is not a Transmodel term, but is used in Trident and SIRI as a generic term for incidents and planned disruptions.
Note 3 to entry: In IFOPT the STOP PLACE model provides a precise location model for specifying the scope of an incident and may be referenced by other services such as SIRI.
