transit service coordination Quintuple
Bidirectional?: True
transit service coordination (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination' application object and the 'Other Transit Management Centers' physical object. In this case, there is only a single Layer 2 flow associated with this interconnect, so the Layer 1 application interconnect name and the Layer 2 information flow name are both 'transit service coordination'. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.
Transit Management Center (Source Physical Object): The 'Transit Management Center' manages transit vehicle fleets and coordinates with other modes and transportation services. It provides operations, maintenance, customer information, planning and management functions for the transit property. It spans distinct central dispatch and garage management systems and supports the spectrum of fixed route, flexible route, paratransit services, transit rail, and bus rapid transit (BRT) service. The physical object's interfaces allow for communication between transit departments and with other operating entities such as emergency response services and traffic management systems.
Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination (Source Application Object): "Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination" supports transit service coordination between transit properties and coordinates with other surface and air transportation modes. As part of service coordination, it shares schedule and trip information, as well as transit transfer cluster (a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently) and transfer point information between Multimodal Transportation Service Providers, Transit Agencies, and ISPs. An interface to Traffic Management also supports demand management strategies.
Other Transit Management Centers (Destination Physical Object): Representing another transit operations center, 'Other Transit Management Centers' is intended to provide a source and destination for information flows between peer transit management centers. It enables transit management activities to be coordinated across geographic boundaries or jurisdictions.
