Results for area 3.11 Point
a 0-dimensional node of the network used for the spatial description of the network; POINTs may be located by a LOCATION in a given LOCATING SYSTEM
a POINT on a LINK which is not needed for LINK definition, but may be used for other purposes, e.g. for purposes of AVM or PI, or for driver information
a classification of POINTs according to their functional purpose
a classification for POINT OF INTEREST SPACEs
association of a TRAIN, TRAIN BLOCK PART or TRAIN ELEMENT at a SCHEDULED STOP POINT with a specific STOP PLACE and also possibly a QUAY and BOARDING POSITION
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.
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
NOTE 1 to entry: May be subject to a VALIDITY CONDITION.
allocation of a SCHEDULED STOP POINT (i.e. a STOP POINT of a SERVICE PATTERN or JOURNEY PATTERN) to a specific STOP PLACE, and also possibly a QUAY and BOARDING POSITION
NOTE 1 to entry: May be subject to a VALIDITY CONDITION. Assignment may be done in advance, or be done in-real-time as a DYNAMIC STOP POINT ASSIGNMENT made as a result of a CONTROL ACTION. May be accompanied by a VEHICLE STOPPING POINT ASSIGNMENT for the allocation of a VEHICLE to a VEHICLE STOPPING PLACE and VEHICLE STOPPING POSITION.
a super-type including all POINTs of the physical network (e.g. RAILWAY JUNCTION)
item of equipment of a particular type actually available at an individual STOP POINT (e.g. post, shelter, seats, information display)
NOTE 1 to entry: The IFOPT STOP PLACE EQUIPMENT is a generalisation of STOP POINT EQUIPMENT that may include equipment located elsewhere in the STOP PLACE as well as on the QUAY.
an equipment activated by the passage of a vehicle at an ACTIVATION POINT or on an ACTIVATION LINK
the characteristics of a STOP PLACE COMPONENT representing a process, such as check-in, security screening, ticket control or immigration, that may potentially incur a time penalty that needs to be allowed for when journey planning
NOTE Used to mark STOP PATH LINKs to determine transit routes through interchanges.
a VALIDITY CONDITION expressed in terms of temporal parameters and referring to DAY TYPEs
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)
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.
classification of a CHECKPOINT as a particular type due to the process that takes place at it, such as security, ticketing, etc.
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.
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
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.
a specific located external ENTRANCE to a POINT OF INTEREST
NOTE A JOURNEY PLANNER will normally provide an optimised route from a STOP PLACE to a POINT OF INTEREST ENTRANCE as an ACCESS PATH LINK.
specialisation of ENTRANCE to enter/exit a POINT OF INTEREST
assignment of a POINT OF INTEREST to one or more POINT OF INTEREST CLASSIFICATIONs
point at which real-time status is reported, normally corresponding to a STOP POINT
NOTE 1 to entry: In IFOPT only a minimal representation of MONITORING POINTs is made sufficient to relate their location to the STOP PLACE and its components.
the assignment of one STOP POINT and one JOURNEY PATTERN to a PASSENGER INFORMATION EQUIPMENT specifying that information on the STOP POINT and the JOURNEY PATTERN will be provided (e.g. displayed, printed)
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.
NOTE 1 to entry: POINT OF INTEREST CLASSIFICATION MEMBERSHIP does not have to be disjoint, i.e. the same category may appear in more than one CLASSIFICATION.
specialisation of SITE COMPONENT for COMPONENT of POINT OF INTEREST; usually used for POINT OF INTEREST SPACEs
specialisation of POINT OF INTEREST COMPONENT for SPACEs. A physical area within the POINT OF INTEREST, such as a concourse
a physical entrance or exit to/from a POINT OF INTEREST for vehicles
an oriented correspondence from one POINT of a source layer, onto an entity in a target layer: e.g. POINT, LINK, LINK SEQUENCE, COMPLEX FEATURE, within a defined TYPE OF PROJECTION
POINT building up a NAVIGATION PATH within an ordered set of other SITE POINTs IN SEQUENCE. May also be the beginning or end of a PATH LINK IN SEQUENCE
a POINT where the traffic flow can be influenced
EXAMPLES Traffic lights (lanterns), barriers.
a classification of TRAFFIC CONTROL POINTs
a couple of POINTs located sufficiently near that it may represent for a passenger a possibility to reach one of these POINTs when starting at the other one in a timescale which is realistic when carrying out a trip, e.g. CONNECTION, ACCESS
MONITORING POINT ASSIGNMENT associates a MONITORING POINT with a specific SCHEDULED STOP POINT
the physical (spatial) possibility for a passenger to access or leave the public transport system; 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)
