Installation instruction for stop signs

  • In Finnish: Kilvitysohje

  • This is a terrible translation

Poster frame

  • In Finnish: Julistepaikka

  • Infopaikka should also be translated to Poster frame. They are the same physical object. In Jore3 world, Infopaikka is something attached to a stop and Julistepaikka is something attached to a terminal.

Break room

  • In Finnish: Taukotila

  • Used by bus and tram drivers. Metro and train driver break rooms are at the moment (3/2021) not interesting for HSL

  • Typically in HSL jargon "taukotila" might mean also toilet. Toilet is like a smallest possible version of a break room.

Transmodel terminology

The following taxonomy loosely follows the Transmodel hierarchy and attempts to map similar concepts in Transmodel and Jore 3.x.

Common Concepts

  • In Finnish: Linkin piste

  • In Jore 3: Piste

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 7.6.5.1.3

NeTEx: "A POINT in a LINK SEQUENCE indicating its order in that particular LINK SEQUENCE."

Generic Service Calendar MODEL

Operating Day
  • In Finnish: Liikennöintipäivä

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 7.7.5.5.3

NeTEx: "A day of public transport operation in a specific calendar. An OPERATING DAY may last more than 24 hours."

Day Type
  • In Finnish: Päivätyyppi

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 7.7.5.5.2

This is a generic description of day types, like weekdays, weekends, holidays, etc. These attributes described by multiple PROPERTIES OF DAY TYPE

NeTEx: "A type of day characterised by one or more properties which affect public transport operation. For example: weekday in school holidays."

Property of Day Type
  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 7.7.5.6

These properties are technically enums, like "day of week", "week of month" or "day of year", etc.

NeTEx: "A property which a day may possess, such as school holiday, weekday, summer, winter etc. This may be used to generate a description of a day type in many different natural languages."

Network Topology Domain

Network Infrastructure MODEL

Infrastructure point
  • In Finnish: Verkon piste

  • In Jore 3: Verkon solmu

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.1.4.1

  • Examples: road junction, railway junction

  • Attributes: coordinates

An intersection point through which public transport traffic flows.

NeTEx: "A super-type including all POINTs of the physical network (e.g. RAILWAY JUNCTION)."

  • In Finnish: Verkon linkki

  • In Jore 3: Verkon linkki

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.1.4.5

A directed link between two infrastructure points. May contain points on link which specify the exact shape of the link.

NeTEx: "A super-type including all LINKs of the physical network (e.g. RAILWAY ELEMENT)."

Route MODEL

Line
  • In Finnish: Linja

  • In Jore 3: Linja + Linjan nimet

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.5.6

NeTEx: "A group of ROUTEs which is generally known to the public by a similar name or number."

Route
  • In Finnish: Reitti

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.5.1, 8.4.5.5.4

  • Attributes: direction, points on route

A single directed path through the networking following an ordered list of points on route.

Note that in Jore 3, a single reitti defines two reitin suunta: two routes in the opposite directions. In NeTEx this would be modelled as two separate routes.

NeTEx: "An ordered list of located POINTs defining one single path through the road (or rail) network. A ROUTE may pass through the same POINT more than once".

Route Point
  • In Finnish: Reittipiste

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.5.5.2

  • Examples: an infrastructure point, e.g. a road junction

A point through which route(s) may flow. The same route may go through the same point multiple times.

NeTEx: "A POINT used to define the shape of a ROUTE through the network."

  • In Finnish: Reitin linkki

  • In Jore 3: Reitin linkki

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.5.5.3

  • Attributes: from point, to point

Connects two points as a link.

In Jore 3 each route link points to a corresponding infrastructure link.

In NeTEx each point may either be a route point or a scheduled stop point.

NeTEx: "an oriented link between two ROUTE POINTs allowing the definition of a unique path through the network."

Point On Route
  • In Finnish: Piste reitillä

  • In Jore 3: N/A

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.5.5.5

  • Attributes: route point, route link, order

Links a route point with a route. The order attribute defines the order in which individual point on route form the actual route. An optional route link points towards the next point on route and is present on all but the last point on route.

NeTEx: "A ROUTE POINT used to define a ROUTE with its order on that ROUTE."

Fixed Object MODEL

Stop Place
  • In Finnish: Pysähdyspaikka (fyysinen)

  • In Jore 3: Pysäkkialue or Terminaali or Pysäkki

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.5.4, 8.5.4.5.1

  • Examples: a rail way terminal, two bus stops on the opposite sides of the road

A physical place, region or structure where vehicles may stop.

NeTEx: "A place comprising one or more locations where vehicles may stop and where passengers may board or leave vehicles or prepare their trip. A STOP PLACE will usually have one or more well-known names."

Quay

  • In Jore 3: Pysäkki

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.5.4.5.6

NeTEx: "A part of StopPlace where passengers can board or disembark a vehicle. A place such as platform, stance, or quayside where passengers have access to PT vehicles, Taxi, cars or other means of transportation. A QUAY may serve one or more VEHICLE STOPPING PLACEs and be associated with one or more STOP POINTS. Quays do not have their own names. This information is inherited from the parent StopPlace."

Journey / Service / Timing Pattern MODEL

Scheduled stop point
  • In Finnish: Pysähdyspaikka (looginen)

  • In Jore 3: Pysäkki

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.6.3.4.2

  • Attributes: measured_location, direction

In Jore 4, scheduled stop points model logical stop points. They have a measured location and are associated with an infrastructure link.

A scheduled stop point may be associated with a timing place (Hastus place). A scheduled stop point associated with a timing place can be set as a timing point for a specific journey pattern, but only as a regular stop point for some other journey pattern.

NeTEx: "A POINT where passengers can board or alight from vehicles"

Timing Point
  • In Finnish: Ajoituspiste

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.4.7.4.1

NeTEx: "A POINT against which the timing information necessary to build schedules may be recorded."

Timing Place (not in Transmodel)
  • In Finnish: Hastus-paikka

  • In Jore 3: Hastus-paikka

In Jore 3, Hastus places represent important route-specific stop places, which are used to e.g. synchronize timetables between multiple routes, or highlight a point where the vehicle speed changes significantly (e.g. the last stop before transitioning to a highway).

In Jore 4, an individual scheduled stop points can be associated with a timing place. A timing place can consist of several scheduled stop points.

Hastus glossary: "Places are locations on the transit network that can be used to define timing points, relief points, garages, and canteens."

Journey Pattern
  • In Finnish: Kulkukuvio

  • In Jore 3: N/A

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.6.2.3.1

An ordered list of scheduled stop points on a single route.

NeTEX: "An ordered list of STOP POINTs and TIMING POINTs on a single ROUTE, describing the pattern of working for public transport vehicles."

Point in Journey Pattern
  • In Finnish: Kulkukuvion piste

  • In Jore 3: N/A

  • In NeTEx: Part 1 - 8.6.2.3.3

  • Attributes: is_used_as_timing_point, is_loading_time_allowed, is_via_point

In Jore 4, all points in the journey pattern are scheduled stop points. The attribute is_used_as_timing_point indicates whether the scheduled stop point as part of the journey pattern is set as a timing point in that specific journey pattern. A single journey pattern may have any number of timing points, minimum amount is two: the first and last stop are always a timing point.

NeTEx: "A STOP POINT or TIMING POINT in a JOURNEY PATTERN with its order in that JOURNEY PATTERN."
