2. French Context Promoting interoperability MEEDDM axis for actions ACTIF Method Tool OSCAR V4 Model – V5.2 on MEGA 2009 What ACTIF allows and doesn’t… A lot of things to do… 24 Outline

3. French Context: numerous stakeholders • 400 Public authorities in the transport area • With different competences, • Autonomous and without hierarchical relationships • With logics of service. • So many public transport operators and transport infrastructure managers • With heterogeneous structures, • With logics of exploitation, and often of competition. • Transporters, Consignees, • Using the transport infrastructures, • With economical logics. • Users, Customers • Transport supply users • With logics of customers, users, buyers (sparing time and money, expecting comfort, safety, security…)

4. French Context : national priority related to transportation • Sustainable Development and Mobility • Road and transport safety • Transport supply consistancy • Sewless services • Social law enforcement • Better 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

5. 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

6. 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 Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actions

7. Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actions Interoperability 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?

8. Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actions 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

9. 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 Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actions

10. Promoting interoperability:MEEDDM axis for actions 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

11. 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 Method Tools Model

12. ACTIF - method: Classical method for leading projects 1. Define the scope and initialize the process S4 S2 S3 2. Analyze the starting point 3. Identify and analyze scenarios Model the starting point Model different possible targets 4. Define the target Identify issues S1 S1 S1 S2 S3 S4 S2 S3 Build deployment scenarios Evaluate the scenarios Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario ... 5. Deployment plan 6. Deploy the architecture and update it

13. ACTIF - model:Which kind of model? Needs Professions functions organisation information applications services Logics activities organisational technical softwares

14. ACTIF - model : objects

15. Similar flows are unified Reflexiv flows Names are coherent Targets are easier to identify Flows are easier to follow Data Collection Storage Processing Transmission ACTIF - Model : based on profession What is the model: a knowledge, easy to read, understand and use...

16. ACTIF model: object description Logical Dataflowgoods movement payment acknowledgement Description This data flow acknowledges that payment has been made by the principal to the freight operator's bank account.It details the goods movement transactions (principal's order and freight operator's offer) and includes the payment date and an electronic signature. Source Terminator Consignor/Consignee, Principal and Freight Forwarder Target Function 8.1.1.4 Manage goods movement transactions Standards ebXML EDIFACT UNCEFACT XML Diagram(s)where the logical flow is displayed DFD 8.1.1 Manage goods movement commercial transactions

17. 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 2009 • With 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.

18. ACTIF – Tool: OSCARApplying the method and using the model 1. Definition of sub-systems 2. Definition of sources and targets 3. Selection (or not) Of dataflows 5. Generate Documents 4. Diagram Creation

19. Example:Viajeo

20. ACTIF – tool: OSCAR Applications

21. ACTIF tool: last evolutions OSCAR V4 • During the spring of 2010: • Description of new functionalities for the tool. • Describing diagrams more easily • Enabling to define new objects not defined in the model • Defining links between objects with (pre-)selection • Generating documents (open office) • more close to user expectation • with all the content of the model • Using both english and French!! • Reception and Correction of some bugs during summer • The current version of OSCAR • is the V4 • published in October 2010.

24. 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

25. 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...

26. 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 messages based 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 users Training courses, diffusion, assistance Disseminate the knowledge In 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

28. 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»).

29. 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.

30. CHOUETTE – « line list » screen

31. 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

32. 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).

33. 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
