OpRa

(Operating Raw Data and statistics exchange) is an CEN initiative under TC278/WG3 with main focus on the identification of Public Transport raw data to be exchanged, gathered and stored in order to support Study and Control of Pubic Transport Service.

Particular attention on raw data identification is focused on actual and measured information, i.e. information which cannot be changed anymore in the future.

This information is mainly an output of the Transmodel (TRM) domains

Part4: “Operations monitoring & control”;
Part 8: “Management Information and statistics“ focused on raw data for indicators calculation.

It describes the recorded reality of operation, like delays and cancelled vehicle journeys, etc. either through individual measurements at a given sampling interval or in an aggregate ways (statistics).

OpRa work scope is coherent with those covered by Trasnmodel. NeTEx and SIRI; in this perspective, a deep study of Public Transport Service is performed with Information exchanges with stakeholders (mainly authorities, operators and system providers) to clearly identify the needs and define Use Cases.

OpRa describes the recorded reality of operation, like delays and cancelled vehicle journeys, etc. either through individual measurements at a given sampling interval or in an aggregate ways (statistics).

Strategic Planning: definition of network elements (lines, stops), main service parameters (vehicles sizes, operation intervals, service intervals for important time demand types), and guaranteed interchanges are planned (NeTEx, TRM).
Tactical Planning: operators plan their resource usage (vehicles, rolling stock, personnel), with detailed timetables for each resource uni (NeTEx , TRM).
Before Travel: all planned networks and timetables are published. Passengers and other type of clients may plan their use of the offered transportation services via printed and electronic media, and make their reservations as needed (NeTEx, TRM).
In-Travel: The transportation service is conducted. Real-time information exchange is available while this takes place and may be recorded (SIRI, TRM).
Study and control: in this stage, operators and authorities review the history of actual operations, which may lead to improvements through operational changes, or an optimization of strategic and tactical planning (OpRa, TRM).
