What ACTIF allows and doesn’t…

A lot of things to do…

Pages


French Context: numerous stakeholders

400 Public authorities in the transport areaWith different competences,

Autonomous and without hierarchical relationships

With logics of service.

So many public transport operators and transport infrastructure managersWith heterogeneous structures,

With logics of exploitation, and often of competition.

Transporters, Consignees,Using the transport infrastructures,

With economical logics.

Users, CustomersTransport supply users

With logics of customers, users, buyers (sparing time and money, expecting comfort, safety, security…)

Pages


French Context : national priority related to transportationSustainable Development and Mobility

Road and transport safety

Transport supply consistancy

Sewless services

Social law enforcementBetter use of transport infrastructures

Better Integration of transportation and urban plannings

Increasing the multimodality and co-modality

Public transport promotion

Decreasing of goods transport on road

Decreasing CO2 emissions

Working condition

International Competitivity

Pages


French context: 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 of the service supply (roads and public transport)

Fare compliancy

Safety, security, continuity of transport services

It means: connexion, multimodality, intermodality management

- to implement :

decision maker tools (Observatory, masterplan…)

Tools improving the multimodality (multimodal platform, 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.

It means: interoperability

Pages


Interoperability ? Capacity for two or more systems to

• Exchange data (understandable)

• In the frame of co-ordonated processes

• Co-operate, or collaborate;

• Implement common solutions

Pages


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

• Synergies between stakeholders (and systems) :

• Transports systems with high level of service

• Credibility for ITS

• Saving Money (investissment and functioning)

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

Pages



MEEDDM

is project owner of its own transport systems:

Road management, law enforcement, chronotachygraphe

In the frame of the decentralization:

Services of the central Authority must assist local authorities in their new activities.

They must propose assistance and frames (law and methods)

At European and International level

It must promote the frame for co-operation in the country and outside. International standards, International co-operation

Pages


5 main axis for actions:1.Sponsoring Research and experimentation

2. Funding projects

3. Help and assistance to local authorities

4. Publication and dissemination

5. Participation to standardization works and European and International projects


Pages



Axis 3: Help and assistance

Mission Transports intelligents en 2001

Observation and coordination of local initiatives,

Networking and connecting partners, promoting partnership

Technical and scientific network of MEEDDM:

Methods, best practices, advices (CERTU, SETRA, CETMEF…)

Assistance to project owners (CERTU, CETEs)

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 model: last evolutions

During the beginning of 2010: Strengh the modelling rules

in order to improve the selection tool

Migration on the last version of MEGA 2009With adjonction of control request

Correction of a lot of mistakes contented in the previous version of the model.

The version V5.2 is the current version.

published in October 2010.

Pages


ACTIF – Tool: OSCAR

Applying the method and using the model 1. Definition of sub-systems

2. Definition of sources and targets

3. Selection (or not)Of dataflows

4. Diagram Creation

5. GenerateDocuments

Example:Viajeo

What ACTIF allows

Method and model• Identify and describe the roles of partners involved (to involve)• 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 the roles and functionalities • Identify the data needed and those available (or not)• Analyse the starting point• Test 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 • Directly the interfaces between sub-systems and stakeholders• 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

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

– The messages (eventually standardized)

– The data profiles to apply...

Pages


A lot of things to do… in order to reach the « dreamt ACTIF »

Constant Updating of the models and the tools.Wish to propose services closer to user expectations (dreamt ACTIF)Evolutions of ACTIF model

on new services (transport on demand, car-sharing…)with possibility to generate XML messagesbased on international standards (TRANSMODEL, EDI, DATEX-II…)

Evolutions of ACTIF tool depending on the user expectations (study in course)depending on the ability of the modelling tools

Apply and generalize application by usersTraining courses, diffusion, assistance

Disseminate the knowledgeIn France and elsewhere....

And also develop new tools in other domains CHOUETTE, BATERI, for the Public Transport and Multimodal Information Systems.

Maintenance contract in course till 2013

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 :

- to describe the public transport service (supply) according the

French Standard NEPTUNE (lines, network, operator, stop points,

schedules, stop areas and connexion…)

- to describe these data from cartographic support (stop points

location)

- to publish the public transport supply on cartographic supports

- to verify the quality of the data and the compliancy with the French

Standard NEPTUNE

- to export these data on the NEPTUNE profile

- to import data with different profiles: progressivly, according the

agreement with transport operators and software companies.

Pages


CHOUETTE – « line list » screen

Pages


CHOUETTE – is accessible

• Website– www.chouette.mobi

• For demonstration– Free access– Basis for demonstration

• CHOUETTE tool is proposed for direct use on-line– www.chouette.mobi– Available 24/24-7/7– Creation of count on-line– Assistance by e-mail / phone

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

Pages


CHOUETTE and Multimodal information systems• CHOUETTE is not the MIS 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

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

– The Homogeneization of the data profiles

– The Interopérability of MIS (exchangeable data).

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
