What is PD CEN/TR 17370 - OpRa for public transport about?
Public transport services rely on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. PD CEN/TR 17370 focuses on operating raw data and statistics exchange (OpRa).
OpRa work has been conducted through the phases such as assessment, use cases definition and classification, indicators definition, and raw data identification. OpRa takes most public transport modes, except air transport, into account. PD CEN/TR 17370 includes rail, bus, metro, tramway, trolleybus, ferry, coach, funicular railway, suspension railway, and rack railway.
Conforming to PD CEN/TR 17370, OpRa management information deals with functions analysing production data in order to evaluate the service quality or to take corrective measures in planning and managing operations. In public transport, the study of operational data (example, observed run times, passenger load) collected during service operations is an input for strategic planning (how and when to amend the schedules), tactical planning (example, when to undertake a certain control action), quality follow-up, etc.
Management information uses two main types of data:
Data resulting from the planning stages, theoretical data on the production orders (examples- timetables, run times, driver rosters)
Data describing the daily actual production (examples- observed passing times, actual number of passengers, missed interchanges, modifications operated to the plan)
