4. Manage Public Transport Operations


Description

This Area shall provide functionality to enable the management of Public Transport. It shall include the scheduling of services and the generation of information that can be made available to travellers. The Area shall have links with the Manage Traffic Area to provide priority for its vehicles, and to provide data on the use of services so that an assessment can be made of demand for different modes of transport. The Manage Traffic Area shall also provide requests for service changes to enable a move towards a better balance in the use of transport modes. There shall also be links to other Areas to provide information about fraud and incidents that have been detected in the Public Transport network.

Component Functions

This Functional Area contains four High-level Functions. These High-level Functions will provide facilities that enable Public Transport services to be planned and operated in a way that meets the needs of Travellers. The other goal of the Functions will to ensure that the services are provided in ways that make the most efficient use of the Public Transport vehicle fleet and of the inter-urban and urban road networks. The Functions will attempt to achieve this most efficient operation at all times of the day and days of the week, even when un-planned incidents occur. Part of the functionality in this Area will also manage vehicle "pooling" services and use of "demand responsive" Public Transport.
