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.

In SIRI Passing times are subsumed into a CALL entity.

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.

standard (extract)
term
endpoint reference – WS-PubSub
definition

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.

connection link – Transmodel
definition

the physical (spatial) possibility for a passenger to change from one public transport vehicle to another to continue a trip. Different transfer times may be necessary to cover interchange over a given connection link, depending on the kind of passenger.

In SIRI, a Feeder service may arrive at one STOP POINT in the CONNECTION LINK, and the Distributor may leave from the same or a different stop in the CONNECTION LINK.

The interchange duration, i.e. transfer time is the time needed to go from stop point to stop point across a CONNECTION LINK. In SIRI, it does not include time needed to board or alight. Several different types of interchange duration may be specified.

standard (extract)
term
service journey interchange – Transmodel
definition

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 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.
