French Context: numerous stakeholders

400 Public authorities in the transport area

With Different competences,

Autonoms and without hierarchical

With logics of service.

So many public transport operators and transport infrastructure managers

With heterogeneous structures,

With logics of exploitation, sometimes in concurrence.

Transporters, Consignees,

Using the transport infrastructures,

With economical logics.

Users, Customers

transport supply users

With logics of customers, users, buyer (sparing time and money comfort…)

Public transport promotion

Decreasing of goods transport on road

Lower CO2 emissions

Road and transport safety

Pages


French context français: make synergies between stakeholders and systems

The law asks to public authorities in charge of transport to look for synergies in order to ensure:

Consistancy in the service supply (roads and public transport)

Fare compliancy

Safety, security, continuity of transport services (connexion, multimodality, intermodality management)

To implement :

Observatory, masterplan and decision maker tools (plans de déplacements urbains, comptes de déplacements)

Tools improving the multimodality (multimodal platform management, interconnexions between transport operators)

Multimodal information systems

=> to promote the implementation of transport systems with a high level of service, open (to information exchange, cooperation) and interoperable.

Pages


System:

« combination of elements joint together in order to form an ensemble » (Larousse):

« ensemble conceptualized by the mind of concept (objets de pensée) joint by a law » or « distribution of an ensemble of objects according a way which allows aknowledge or a study more easy » (Robert).

Systèmes de transports intelligents - Intelligent Transport Systems…

Transport Systems no idiots… they speak, then think, have memory (remember and recall) and then collect data

Systems which use information and communication technologies in

order to automatize, make sure, improve their functioning… and then improve the level of service.

Every level must be coherent with the other ones... if not, no system

Sys- (With or Together) –Tem (Handle)

Architecture: Ark- (Principe, fondement ) –Tekt- (Construction)

For 1 project, one architecture… but different levels of architecture:


Political Needs, Expectations

Masterplan, Strategy

Conceptual Services (objectives and quality level…)

Professions and their interfaces (collaboration)

Logical Functionalities Functional chains for information handling

Organisational Structures, organisations.

Responsabilities/ Functional distribution

Information System

Global Functioning Information exchanges between functional chains

Technical, Hardware, Software

Humans and technical means

Detailed processes and tasks, algorithms

Pages


Interopérability ? Capacity for two or more systems to

• Exchange data (understandable)

• In the frame of co-ordonated processes

• Co-opeate, or collaborate;

• Implement common solutions


Pages


Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actionsInteropérability allows :• Sustainable mobility

• Synergies between stakeholders (and systems) :

• Transports systems with high level of service

• Crédibility for ITS

• Saving Money (investissment and functioning)

• => Easy to say but... how to implement?

Pages


Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actions

MEEDDM is project owner of its own transport systems:

Road management, law enforcement, chronotachygraphe

Decentralisation: French Authority must assist local authorities in their new activities It must propose assistance and frames (law and methods)

European and International Context It must promote the frame for co-operation in the country and

outside. International standards, International co-operation

Pages


5 main axis for actions:.Sponsoring Research and experimentation

. Funding projects

. Help and assistance to local authorities

. Publication and dissemination

. Participation to standardization works and European and International projects

Assistance to project owners

Creation and Promotion of design assistance, frames and tools:

ACTIF: Assistance for the Conception of Interoperable Systems in France (and OSCAR software tool)

Software: CHOUETTE…

Creation of AFIMB (Agence Française pour l'Information Multimodale et la billettique) en 2010

Promoting standard and frames for interoperability of Multimodal information and ticketting Systems

Pages


ACTIF : what is this?Better than a « Frame... »

• ACTIF is a design assistance which proposes – A method

• For leading complex projects (several stakeholders, systems, projects)

– A model• Representation of professional logics in the transport

area• Under the point of view of information systems• Taking into account standards

– Tools• For making the model accessible and

readable(website)• For using the model (OSCAR)• For finding consensus between partners

ACTIF - Applications

Pages


What ACTIF allows

• Method and model• Identify and describe the roles of partners to be involved• Identify Data sources to use (or implement)• Identify potential targets for elaborated information• Ask the good questions on functions (check-list)

• Tool• Identify for each sub-system theroles and functionalities • Identify the data needed and those available (or not)• Analyse the starting point• Try and analyze scenarios of organisational and functional

architectures (organisations, roles)• Identify the interfaces between partners (data to exchange) • Identify existing standards• Produce the background of functional specifications

Pages


ACTIF does not allow

To describe • the practice and the agreement for co-operation• The organisation to implement (machines and men)

– Practical Guidelines must be proposed

– Follow-up activities about ACTIF applications

• Directly the interfaces between sub-systems and stakeholders

• ACTIF does not describe – The data which must be exchanged

– The data profiles...

Pages


CHOUETTE: What is this?

Création d’Horaires avec un OUtil d’Échange de

données TC selon le format Trident Européen.

That is a software - open source.

Funding by the PREDIM and now sponsored by AFIMB

CHOUETTE allows the use of the French standards NEPTUNE,

issued from the European Standards TRANSMODEL et DATEX

via the European project TRIDENT («TRansport Intermodality

Data sharing and Exchange NeTwork»).

Pages


CHOUETTE: functionnalities

CHOUETTE allows :

- de saisir les données de l'offre de transport selon le format

NEPTUNE(réseau, lignes, points d'arrêt, horaires,

correspondance...)

- de décrire cette offre depuis des supports cartographiques

(Localisation des points d'arrêts - développement en cours de

finalisation)

- de publier cette offre sur des supports cartographiques

- de vérifier la qualité des données et la compatibilité avec NEPTUNE

- d'exporter des données au format NEPTUNE vers d'autres

applications

- d'importer des données de formats différents: ajout progressif de

modules d'import depuis d'autres logiciels.

• Assistance for local installation– By e-mail / phone

Pages


CHOUETTE and Multimodal information systems• CHOUETTE is not the SIM tool

– No route calculation functions

– No direct publication of transport supply on web-site: the presentation is the choice of the SIM project owners (local authorities)

• CHOUETTE allows:– The preparation of referential for the data

– Needed for the implementation of MIS

– The preparation of the referential for stop points and connexion areas.

– Homogeneization of the data profiles

Pages


CHOUETTE – next evolutions

• Version Virtual Machine – Simplified installation (for training courses)

• Complete integration of NEPTUNE– Accessibility Equipment for disabled people for stop

areas and vehicles at stop points

• Ergonomy

• Qualification and certification functions

• Module for analysis of transport supply

Pages


Follow-up activities

• Constant Updating of the models and the tools.– maintenance contract in course till 2013– Evolutions of ACTIF model on new services and make it

closer to the standards.– Evolutions of OSCAR functionalities (new V4)– Evolutions of CHOUETTE: qualification and certification of

the data and eventually data referential management tool

• Apply and generalize application by users– Training courses, diffusion, assistance

• Disseminate the knowledge– In France and elsewhere....

• Develop new tools in other domains...
