The work consists in the production of a Technical Report, to document the results of the performed analysis, in order to precisely define the scope of the following Technical Specification (TS) or European Norm (EN) definition work.

OpRa will mainly focus on the identification of 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

• “Operations monitoring & control”;
• Management Information and statistics“ (raw data for indicators calculation).

It will describe 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 way (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 unit (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).
