  1. Multi-Operator Transit Information for Operations and PlanningTransit Service Information Portal (TSIP)

  2. What the Heck is a TSIP??? • Vision – A TSIP will enable the efficient flow of transit service information supporting operations, planning and customer information for all systems in NY Metro (and ultimately statewide) within and among agencies and to the public via 511 and other innovative 3rd party information applications.

  3. 511NY – Expands TRIPS123 Transit Itinerary Planner FunctionStatewide

  4. What Did We Learn Here? • Demonstrated Need for a More Flexible Sustainable, Distributed Approach to Managing and Exchanging Service Data

  5. Schedule Data Predicament – Within The Agency Driver Picks and Bids Budget Estimate Driver Instructions Paddle Sign/Shelter Inventory Database Vehicle Block Assignments Scheduling Department Construction Impacts GIS Hard Copy Timetables Stop Level Ride Guides Agency Website ITS Applications

  6. MPO Schedule Data Predicament Telephone Agent Systems (IVR) AVL System FTA Demand Modeling This stop will be served at the following times National Transit Database Is the bus on time? Regional ITS Timetable Ride-Guide Publishing Carrier A How Much Service is available where? What serves my stop? Status/Exception 17a Reporting Corridor-Level Analysis - ITS Is my stop next? StateDOT Let me know when your service changes… On-Board Annunciator When will the next 3 buses arrive? Carriers B, C, D How much should this transfer cost? Which trip did this passenger take? Fare Collection Automated Passenger Counter Bus Arrival Display

  7. Most Significant Challenge of Multi-Agency Transit Trip Planner • Maintaining consistent supply of current accurate schedule data from multiple independent agencies. • Avoid introducing ANOTHER single purpose application that requires transit agencies to maintain another redundant set of schedule data.

  8. Schedule Data Profile (SDP) & Web Data Maintenance System (WDMS) • Tools to supply service/schedule data to 511NY • SDP – Provide a robustly defined XML exchange format to permit agencies with existing schedule systems to develop a standard export file serving multiple downstream ITS applications, including 511 • WDMS for agencies that don’t have scheduling systems. User-friendly, browser-based schedule data management tool that combines Google Mapping and SDP formatted data

  9. Schedule Data Profile Standard (SDP)

  10. Open SDP XML Schema and Tools to Support Development of Export

  11. Web Data Maintenance System • Uses SDP as data structure • Web-based forms and maps to support management of schedule data • Provides SDP XML export feature that agencies can use to supply schedule data for other application (GIS, Timetable publishing, AVL/APC, etc.)

  12. Web Data Maintenance System (WDMS) Map Editing Interface

  13. Browser-Based Forms for Managing Schedules

  14. How can a TSIP Define and Support the Next Steps in Transit Information? • Build on consistent, current and accurate multi-agency schedule data. • Incorporate new streams of information AVL, APC, AFC… • Support exchange of operational and planning info among operators and to the public? • Make consistent and useful information available to a broader array of public information outlets (Google Transit, Where is the Bus, etc.)?

Next Generation Transit Service Information Portal Trip Planner SDP Plus Vision for a Next Generation Transit Service Information Portal Web Data Maintenance System 511(s) Ad-Hoc /Emergency Scheduling Tools Multi-Operator Exchange (Operations/Coordination) Real-Time Info Location/ETA Info Transcom RA Integrated Vendor Apps (AVL/APC/AFC) Multi-Agency Fare Info Third Party Information Outlets FOIL Requests Connecting Modes Detail Planning MPO Performance Reporting Agency GIS Facility Navigation Detail (ADA, Park & Ride, etc.) Open Source Apps Timetable Publisher OTHER

  17. Transit Service Information PortalProject Objectives • Develop a Multi-Agency Consensus on shared content and standards • Schedule Data (SDP) • Fare Data • Planning Data • Real-Time Data • Define Technical, Security and Functional Requirements for a Multi-Agency Portal
