definition
standard (extract)
term
scheduled stop point
definition

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.

standard (extract)
term
dynamic stop assignment – IFOPT
definition

dynamic association of a SCHEDULED STOP POINT (i.e. a STOP POINT of a SERVICE PATTERN or JOURNEY PATTERN) with the next available STOP PLACE, QUAY or BOARDING POSITION within a STOP PLACE

term
passenger stop point assignment – IFOPT
definition

checkpoint – IFOPT

a VALIDITY CONDITION expressed in terms of temporal parameters and referring to DAY TYPEs

standard (extract)
term
activation assignment (Activation MODEL)
definition

an assignment of an ACTIVATION POINT/LINK to an ACTIVATED EQUIPMENT related on its turn to a TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT; the considered ACTIVATION POINT/LINK will be used to influence the control process for that TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT (e.g. to fix priorities as regards the processing of competing requests from different ACTIVATION POINTs/LINKs)

standard (extract)
term
checkpoint delay – IFOPT
definition

delay associated with a specific CHECKPOINT

NOTE 1 to entry: The CHECKPOINT DELAY may vary according to time of day as specified by a VALIDITY CONDITION, in line with the passenger processing capacity of the CHECKPOINT and traffic congestion levels.

standard (extract)
term
checkpoint process – IFOPT
definition

classification of a CHECKPOINT as a particular type due to the process that takes place at it, such as security, ticketing, etc.

standard (extract)
term
point of interest – IFOPT (POI)
definition

a type of PLACE to or through which passengers may wish to navigate as part of their journey and which is modelled in detail by JOURNEY PLANNERS

NOTE 1 to entry A POINT OF INTEREST may further have a complex spatial substructure with constrained POINT OF INTEREST ENTRANCES and access pathways described using ACCESS PATH LINKS. A JOURNEY PLANNER will normally provide an optimised route from a STOP PLACE to a POINT OF INTEREST ENTRANCE using a NAVIGATION PATH comprising one or more PATH LINKS IN SEQUENCE.

term
point of interest classification – IFOPT
definition

a classification of a POINT OF INTEREST that may be used in a CLASSIFICATION HIERARCHY to categorise the point by nature of interest using a systematic taxonomy, for example Museum, Football, Stadium

term
point of interest classification hierarchy – IFOPT
definition

set of multilevel hierarchies used to organise POINT OF INTEREST CLASSIFICATIONs systematically

EXAMPLE 1 Cultural Attraction – Museum – Art Gallery, or Government Office – Department for Transport.

EXAMPLE 2 A given Sports Stadium can appear as both a Football Ground and a Rugby Ground.

NOTE 1 to entry: A POINT OF INTEREST CLASSIFICATION can belong to more than one hierarchy.

term
point of interest classification membership (Point Of Interest MODEL)
definition

the POINT OF INTEREST CLASSIFICATION and POINT OF INTEREST CLASSIFICATION MEMBERSHIP are used to encode a hierarchy of classifications to index and find different types of POINT OF INTEREST

For example, Educational Building, School, Primary School, or Cultural Attraction, Museum, Art Museum.
