Accuracy and Quality of Real Time Predictions
Guidance on how to measure the quality and accuracy of real time information in the form of predictions that are provided to the customer. It also provides recommendations for the presentation of predicted information to the customer.
Real Time Information Exchange Using the SIRI Standard
On behalf of the UK, RTIG has contributed to the definition of a CEN standard to define a “Service Interface for Real-time Information” (SIRI). It is intended to be used to exchange information between servers containing real-time public transport vehicle or journey time data.
These include the control centres of transport operators and information systems that utilise real-time vehicle information, for example, to deliver services such as travel information.
Displaying Transport Information on Public Electronic Signs
In 2016 RTIG established a Working Group to consider these issues.
It was quickly realised that the challenge has several dimensions, and separate advice was required on issues such as:
Bus Open Data Statutory Instrument Summary of Key Dates and Data Formats
Bus Open Data Draft Statutory Instrument Summary of Key Dates and Data Formats
Language and terminology in Real Time Information systems
In the context of public transport, real time information (RTI) systems are those systems and services which enable passengers to have current information on the operation of their expected service – rather than merely hoping that the planned timetable is being met.
Delivering Real Time Information: End to end issues
In the context of public transport, real time information (RTI) systems are those systems and services which enable passengers to have current information on the operation of their expected service – rather than merely hoping that the planned timetable is being met.
Centre-to-centre traffic signal priority request protocol
This document has been produced by RTIG as a specification for a set of messages that can be communicated between a bus management centre and a traffic control centre, in order to request and grant priority for buses at traffic signals.
Guidelines for the management of NaPTAN data with particular reference to RTI systems
This document is the result of the group’s wish to compile a NaPTAN best practice guide for local authority NaPTAN practitioners, which will enable them to make sure their teams (including a NaPTAN manager) are fully aware of the importance of NaPTAN and the correct procedures necessary for accurate data and, ultimately, accurate RTI.
On-vehicle systems architecture
RTI equipment is equipped to over 50% of all buses in the UK fleet. In many cases, fitting equipment and cabling can prove to be a time consuming and expensive endeavour. This document provides cabling and connection details for bus builders that will allow bus operators to select and fit RTI equipment in a relatively short time-frame, as well as feeling confident that any equipment that they wish to install will have the appropriate cabling and connectors.
Communications Briefing Paper: Bluetooth
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group was formed in September 1998 by Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, Toshiba, 3Com, Lucent, Microsoft and Motorola and is a trade association comprised of telecommunications, computing, automotive, industrial automation and network industries that is driving the development of Bluetooth wireless technology, a low cost short-range wireless specification for connecting mobile devices and bringing them to market.
