Traveler Support Equipment --> Transit Management Center:
transit traveler request
Definitions
transit traveler request (Information Flow): Request by a Transit traveler to summon assistance, request transit information, or request any other transit services.
Traveler Support Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Traveler Support Equipment' provides access to traveler information at transit stations, transit stops, other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., rest stops, merchant locations), and major trip generation locations such as special event centers, hotels, office complexes, amusement parks, and theaters. Traveler information access points include kiosks and informational displays supporting varied levels of interaction and information access. At transit stops this might be simple displays providing schedule information and imminent arrival signals. This may be extended to include multi-modal information including traffic conditions and transit schedules to support mode and route selection at major trip generation sites. Personalized route planning and route guidance information can also be provided based on criteria supplied by the traveler. It also supports service enrollment and electronic payment of transit fares. In addition to the traveler information provision, it also enhances security in public areas by supporting traveler activated silent alarms.
Transit Management Center (Destination 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 support communication between transit departments and with other operating entities such as emergency response services and traffic management systems.

Interoperability | Description |
---|---|
Local | In cases where an interface is normally encapsulated by a single stakeholder, interoperability is still desirable, but the motive is vendor independence and the efficiencies and choices that an open standards-based interface provides. |

Rating | Moderate | Moderate | Moderate | |
Basis | May contain the PII of the originator, which should be readable only by the intended recepient lest the originator's privacy be violated. If the implementation does not provide traveler identity, this may be reduced to LOW. | If this is compromised or corrupted, the user's needs may not be properly communicated or met. If this is forged, the transit provider may provide unnecessary services. | If this is not available, the user may not receive transit services offered, and as with other transit services may ceases using the system. While the immediate impact is LOW, long term impact is MODERATE due to user confidence issues. |
