Results for area 3.1 Public transport systems

term
type of passenger information equipment (Passenger Information Equipment MODEL)
definition

a classification for PASSENGER INFORMATION EQUIPMENT (e.g. next stop indicator, stop announcements, passenger information facility)

standard (extract)
term
passenger information
definition

all activities related to informing the users either about the planned or about the actual transportation services

term
passenger information system
definition

a passenger information system is concerned with: - Information provision and exchange about the network services (timetables, etc), - Optimization of passenger trips (trip proposals made according to specific criteria, etc), - Management of Public Transport resources (sales points, validators, passenger information devices, etc)

standard (extract)
term
quay passenger information system
definition

a QUAY Passenger Information System or Stop Passenger Information System is primary defined as non interactive dynamic man machine interface between the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System (AVMS) and the PASSENGER at a QUAY

NOTE It should comply with ENV 13998 - Non-interactive dynamic passenger information on ground. This interface is basically visual. It has to incorporate an audio communicator to give audio information on demand from the VIP.

standard (extract)
term
non-interactive dynamic passenger information VMS
definition

equipment which displays real time public road transport arrival information for intending passengers without any particular dialogue with the passengers

standard (extract)
term
sign; sign panel
definition

an indicator with a sign panel with visual information is a part of a non-interactive dynamic passenger information on the ground

standard (extract)
term
locating system – Transmodel
definition

the system used as reference for the location and graphical representation of the network and other spatial objects

term
vehicle board information and control system
definition

the Vehicle part of the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System; VBICS is created by all devices installed onboard the vehicle, which are controlled by the board computer (controller)

standard (extract)
term
Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System (AVMS)
definition

enables actualisation of the vehicle route to be displayed on the IVMS should any change in route occur during the ride

standard (extract)
term
operations monitoring and control
definition

all activities related to the transportation process, i.e. real-time functions related to the driving and transportation of passengers according to given instructions, including the monitoring of the driving process and its control in case of deviations, as well as all activities that support the driving process (traffic light priority, track switching, bay selection, advance/delay advice etc.).

NOTE 1 to entry: Such functions are often assisted by computer-aided tools, known as Automated Vehicle Monitoring (AVM)

term
vehicle monitoring – TransModel
definition

an activity consisting in the assignment, at a certain time, of operational data to a monitored LOGICAL VEHICLE (e.g. that the vehicle is operating a certain MONITORED VEHICLE JOURNEY, or has passed at a certain OBSERVED PASSING TIME at a POINT).

In SIRI, the information reported by the SIRI Vehicle Monitoring Service may include both the vehicle’s location, i.e. geospatial position, and other operational data such as the number of passengers, and whether it is in congestion.

standard (extract)
term
stop monitoring – SIRI
definition

the monitoring of the real time status and expected activities of vehicle arrivals and departures at a Stop Monitoring point.

The SIRI Stop Monitoring Service provides information of the real time status and expected activities for one or more MONITORING POINTs, corresponding typically to STOP POINTs.

standard (extract)
term
stop monitoring point – SIRI
definition

a point at which real-time status is reported; normally corresponds to a STOP POINT

standard (extract)
term
connection monitoring – SIRI
definition

the monitoring of the real-time arrivals and departures at an interchange for changes against the planned schedule

standard (extract)
term
connection protection – SIRI
definition

the coordination of inbound feeder and outbound distributor journeys at an interchange so as to maximise the chances of passengers achieving their journeys. Involves the exchange of information between feeder and distributor to inform dispatchers and passengers of the current situation, and the delaying of distributor vehicles so as to honour GUARANTEED CONNECTIONS.

standard (extract)
term
monitoring information – SIRI
definition

describes the conditions and circumstances of monitoring: manual/automatic, frequency of measurement, etc.

standard (extract)
term
provisioning – SIRI
definition

the process of preparing and equipping a network so that it can provide (new) services to its users

NOTE In NS/EP telecommunications services, "provisioning" equates to "initiation" and includes altering the state of an existing priority service or capability. the populating of a system with a complete set of stable data necessary for its operation, both reference data and content; for example, the stop identifiers and the timetable data for an AVMS system.

NOTE Provisioning is distinct from Configuration – the setting up of the systems’ operational parameters and other variable features – in that it may be routinely repeated from time to time when a new data set is prepared.

standard (extract)
term
surveillance information system
definition

surveillance Information System is primarily a dynamic non interactive man machine interface between the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring System (AVMS) and the PASSENGER at a STOP PLACE ENTRANCE, ACCESS SPACE or similar location

NOTE This interface is basically visual and would be in compliance with ENV 13998, Non-interactive dynamic passenger information on ground. It should have an incorporated audio communicator to give audio information on demand from a VIP over a fixed loudspeaker.

standard (extract)
term
non-continuous location system
definition

contrary to a continuous location system which allows to get the location of the vehicle at any time if necessary, a non continuous location system is a system which can only detect the passage of a vehicle at some specially equipped points (equipped with special detectors for example) and which knows nothing about the location of the vehicle between two such points

standard (extract)
term
scheduling
definition

method of controlling the timing of the execution of a scheduled activity within or represented by a managed object

NOTE In ISO 17185, this term means all activities related to the tactical planning of transportation, splitting into vehicle scheduling, driver scheduling, and rostering.
