Public transport – Common Glossary

The scope of this TR is a Public Transport common glossary to harmonise terms and definitions from existing data dictionaries.
The methodology consisting of highlighting the differences between various use contexts arises from a number of factors, many of them practical:
1) The facts of history. Many of the legislations, as noted (especially EU Regulations, EC Delegated Regulations and EC Implementing Decisions), already have mandatory application of varying scope, and the regulatory bodies would be most unlikely to consider it worthwhile to actually modify them in line with some list of precise terms developed after the fact.
2) The diversity of practices and use-cases which have been included in the Public Transport domain. Especially as a result of the need for this domain to cover multi-modality and developing technologies, and the increasing requirement for Public Transport to interact with wider domains such as Road Traffic Management, there are bound to be some deeply embedded terms which have been used in different senses in different domains.
3) The differing nature and working practices involved in the legislative, regulatory and technical standardisation processes, and their relationship both to one another and to real-world implementors of Public Transport services.
4) The prior existence of a well-established and precise set of Conceptual Models, including terms and definitions, in the Transmodel ecosystem. This is self-consistent and clearly defined and is being maintained on a continuous basis. However, its use in a legislative context is by “delegation”, which may do little to decrease the possibility of regulations themselves making use of some terms in a sense not intended by Transmodel itself.
The format of the glossary will be structured around following sections:
-   Contexts: Summary of the contexts in which the term or phrase is defined.
-   Related terms: Phrases in which the term is used, either as an element in a compound (e.g. the term “access” vs “access right” or where a related term is used which carries a notably different association (e.g. the term “access” vs “accessibility”, where the latter has a precise meaning in some contexts).
-   Concept: Where it is possible to identify a unifying concept among the various definitions. An informal or explanatory summary of that concept. Where it is not possible, a note of that fact.
-   Harmonisation: Containing references and links to the definitions in their contexts and the suggested conventions for citing them in contexts other than those where they are defined.
-   Source references: Links to definitions of the exact term in their contexts.
-   Usage recommendations: Recommendations for how the terms should be cited in contexts outside that in which the term is defined.

Javni prevoz – Splošni slovar

Področje uporabe tega TR je skupni glosar javnega prevoza za uskladitev izrazov in definicij iz obstoječih podatkovnih slovarjev. Metodologija, ki vključuje poudarjanje razlik med različnimi konteksti uporabe, izhaja iz številnih dejavnikov, od katerih so mnogi praktične narave:
1) Zgodovinska dejstva. Mnoge zakonodaje, kot je navedeno (zlasti uredbe EU, delegirane uredbe EC in izvedbeni sklepi EC), že imajo obvezno uporabo z različno obsežnostjo, in regulativni organi bi zelo verjetno menili, da ni vredno dejansko spreminjati teh zakonodaj v skladu z nekim seznamom natančnih izrazov, razvitih naknadno.
2) Raznolikost praks in primerov uporabe, ki so vključeni v področje javnega prevoza. Zlasti zaradi potrebe, da to področje pokriva multimodalnost in razvijajoče se tehnologije, ter zaradi naraščajoče potrebe, da javni prevoz sodeluje s širšimi področji, kot je upravljanje cestnega prometa, obstajajo nekateri globoko zakoreninjeni izrazi, ki so bili uporabljeni v različnih pomenih v različnih domenah.
3) Različna narava in delovne prakse, vključene v zakonodajne, regulativne in tehnične standardizacijske procese, ter njihov odnos tako med seboj kot do izvajalcev storitev javnega prevoza v realnem svetu.
4) Predhodni obstoj dobro uveljavljenega in natančnega nabora konceptualnih modelov, vključno z izrazi in definicijami, v ekosistemu Transmodel. Ta je sam po sebi dosleden in jasno opredeljen ter se vzdržuje na stalni osnovi. Vendar pa je njegova uporaba v zakonodajnem kontekstu z "delegacijo", kar morda malo prispeva k zmanjšanju možnosti, da bi same uredbe uporabljale nekatere izraze v smislu, ki ga Transmodel sam ni nameraval.
Oblika glosarja bo strukturirana okoli naslednjih oddelkov:
- Konteksti: Povzetek kontekstov, v katerih je izraz ali fraza definirana.
- Povezani izrazi: Fraze, v katerih se izraz uporablja, bodisi kot element v sestavljenki (npr. izraz "dostop" proti "pravica dostopa") ali kjer se uporablja povezan izraz, ki ima izrazito drugačno asociacijo (npr. izraz "dostop" proti "dostopnost", kjer ima slednji v nekaterih kontekstih natančen pomen).
- Koncept: Kjer je mogoče identificirati združujoč koncept med različnimi definicijami. Neformalni ali pojasnjevalni povzetek tega koncepta. Kjer to ni mogoče, opomba o tem dejstvu.
- Harmonizacija: Vsebuje reference in povezave do definicij v njihovih kontekstih in predlagane konvencije za njihovo navajanje v kontekstih, ki niso tisti, kjer so definirani.
- Viri referenc: Povezave do definicij natančnega izraza v njihovih kontekstih.
- Priporočila za uporabo: Priporočila, kako naj se izrazi navajajo v kontekstih zunaj tistega, v katerem je izraz definiran.

European foreword
This document (FprCEN/TR 18359:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278 WG3
“Intelligent transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the Vote on TR.
This document has been prepared under a request addressed to CEN by the European Commission to
harmonise terms and definitions used in Public Transport and in the mobility ecosystem. The Standing
Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its Member States.

Introduction
This document presents a Common Glossary for EU legislations answering the concerns stated by the EC:
“… there is a strong need to harmonise terms and definitions used in Public Transport because various
legislations have adopted general terms and definitions which are not aligned, e.g.:
— “interoperability” has a fully different meaning in the rail Interoperability Directive 2016/797/EU and
in the ITS Directive 2010/40/EU.
— “international” is sometimes confused with “cross-border”, while some cross-border topics are not
international but “local” (it is the case for some cross-border public transport services operated under
public obligations).
— “standard” is a word associated with documents produced only by the “official” standardisation bodies
(at EU level CEN, CENELEC and ETSI), while many people use the word “standards” instead of
“specifications” for documents produced by modal platforms (e.g. OSDM for “rail” ).
[The Common Glossary] aims to harmonise such misaligned terms and definition to secure consistency and
interoperability of mobility data.”
After giving detailed consideration to this aim, it appeared clearly that the most helpful method to
promote harmonisation would be to highlight the differences between various use contexts rather than
try to produce a unique standard set of terms, which would appear as yet another standard on top of
others.
This arises from several factors, many of them practical:
— The facts of history. Many of the regulations, as noted, already have mandatory application of varying
scope, and the regulatory bodies would be most unlikely to consider it worthwhile to modify them in
line with some list of precise terms developed after the fact.
— The diversity of practices and use-cases which have been included in the Public Transport domain.
Especially because of the need for this domain to cover multi-modality and developing technologies,
and the increasing requirement for Public Transport to interact at European level with wider domains
such as Road Traffic Management, there are bound to be some deeply embedded terms which have
been used in different senses in different domains.
— The differing nature and working practices involved in the legislative, regulatory and technical
standardisation processes, and their relationship both to one another and to real-world
implementors of Public Transport services.
— The prior existence of a well-established and precise set of Conceptual Models, including terms and
definitions, in the Transmodel ecosystem. This is self-consistent and clearly defined and is being
maintained on a continuous basis. However, its use in the legislative context of the Directive
2010/40/EU (amended by Directive (EU) 2023/2661) is by “delegation”, which might do little to
decrease the possibility of other regulations themselves making use of some terms in a sense not
intended by Transmodel itself.
None of these factors, however, diminish either the importance or the urgency of promoting mutual
understanding between the different interests involved. In fact, they underline both importance and
urgency.
The Open Sales and Distribution Model (OSDM) is a rail sector specification enabling interoperable ticket sales for
trains and other modes of transport and is defined in the new UIC International Railway Solution (IRS) 90918-10
1 Scope
1.1 Audience
This document provides a Glossary focused on providing practical help to the following users:
— Those drafting or interpreting legislation.
— Those seeking to interpret terms which might be used or defined in one context to apply them in
another context.
— Those needing to develop an understanding of commonly used terms which might have a specialist
meaning in contexts of which they are unaware.
— Those developing ontologies intended to cover domains which are not yet fully covered by their own
set of unambiguous definitions.
1.2 Method
This project’s methodology consisted in a first phase to investigate EU legislations which might have an
impact on the management of data used in Europe in the various transport domains.
At the end of March 2025, more than 250 legislations had been identified which could contains relevant
terms and definitions. Taking into consideration the timeframe of the OpRa+ project it was decided to
develop the comparison work from this list, from which 43 legislations (as amended as of March 2025)
have been selected to record in an Excel file the official definitions they contained. As a whole, the
definition of a total of 717 terms has been provided in an Excel file which also detailed the scope of the
selected legislations.
This Excel file has been in a second phase consolidated with the Transmodel-v6.2-Data-Dictionary into a
new file named OpRa exhaustive glossary issued on 7 May 2025 which contains 2336 definitions of terms.
Then the methodology focused on the redundancy of the terms in the legislations which highlighted from
the various sources 72 terms redundant between 2 and 6 times.
Even though only a limited number of terms are covered explicitly in this document, hopefully the
recommendations provided for the listed terms can inspire the intended Audience to use an analogous
approach when defining or selecting terms to be used when drafting legislation or developing ontologies.
This Glossary was last updated using the legislation available in March 2025. Readers need to be aware
that some regulations, standards and other referenced material are undergoing active development and
therefore the latest versions available at a later date might contain differences to these reviewed.
1.3 Content
The Glossary contains a separate section for each of the 30 selected terms. Each such section contains
sub-sections detailing the contexts the term is used in, related terms, any unifying concept, source
references to the full definitions, and usage recommendations. The following section describes this in
more detail.
