(Extended Text Description: This slide, entitled "Module 19: On-Board Transit Management Systems" has a graphic showing boxes, each containing an on-board component, that are connected via either lines or lightning bolts. In the upper-left hand part of the graphic is a box labeled "Base" connected via a lightning bolt to a box labeled "Mobile Access Router" which is located in the upper-left hand part of the center of the graphic. In the center-left hand part of the graphic is a box labeled "Roadside" connected via a lightning bolt to the "Mobile Access Router" box. In the upper-right hand part of the graphic is a box labeled "Control Center" which is connected via a lightning bolt that is labeled "700 MHz" to a box labeled "Mobile Radio." The Mobile Radio box is located in the upper-right hand part of the center of the graphic, and is connected via a line to a box labeled "Vehicle Logic Unit" that is below the Mobile Radio box. The Vehicle Logic Unit is connected via a line to a box labeled "Other On-Board Devices." The Other On-Board Devices box is located below the Vehicle Logic Unit box. To the left of the Other On-Board Devices box is a box labeled "Fare Transaction Processor." These two boxes are not connected. To the left of the Fare Transaction Processor box is a box labeled "Driver Display Unit." There is a small box located above the Driver Display Unit and Fare Transaction Processor boxes. The Driver Display Unit is connected to the small box with a line, as is the Fare Transaction Processor box. This small box is connected to the Mobile Access Router box with a line. There is a small dashed box located above the Vehicle Logic Unit box, and it is connected to the Vehicle Logic Unity box via a line that has arrows at both ends. This small box is connected to the Mobile Access Router box via a line that has arrows at both ends. Finally this small box is connected to a box labeled "Digital Video Recorder" via a dashed line that has arrows at both ends.)

Slide 10:

Structure and Use of Data Exchange Standards

OSI 7 Layer Model: Layers 7, 6 and 5

Layer Application/Example
7. Application. Serves as the window for users and application processes to access the network services End user layer (Program that opens what was sent or creates what is to be sent)
6. Presentation. Formats the data to be presented to the Application layer. It can be viewed as the "Translator" for the network Syntax layer (encrypt and decrypt if needed)
5. Session. Allows session establishment between processes running on different stations Sync and send to ports (logical ports)

Slide 11:

Structure and Use of Data Exchange Standards

OSI 7 Layer Model: Layers 4, 3, 2 and 1

Layer Application/Example
4. Transport. Ensures that messages are delivered error-free, in sequence and with no losses and duplication Transmission Control Protocol -TCP (host to host, flow control)
3. Network. Controls the operations of the subnet, deciding the physical path the data takes Packets ("letter," contains IP address)
2. Data Link. Provides error-free transfer of data frames from one node to another over the Physical layer Frames ("envelopes," contains MAC address)
1. Physical. Concerned with transmission and reception of raw bit stream over physical medium Physical structure (cables, hubs, etc.)

Module Summary

  1. Reviewed the structure and use of data exchange standards for Transit Management systems
  2. Identified and described contents and use of SAE J1587/J1708 and J1939, and provided examples of single-point logon using standards
  3. Provided case studies of procuring systems using SAE J1587/J1708 and J1939
  4. Identified what is included in specifications

Slide 76:

Module Summary

Lessons Learned

  1. The use of data exchange standards for Transit Management systems allow agencies to use components/systems from multiple vendors
  2. The use of SAE J1708 must include J1587 as well
  3. The selection of standard(s) to incorporate in functional specifications is based on the standard’s availability, applicability, maturity and the vendors’ use and acceptance of the standard
  4. SAE J1708 is outdated, so transit agency may want to consider moving their on-board systems to use J1939

Slide 77:

Module Summary

Lessons Learned (continued)

  1. Agencies have experienced cost savings through the use of onboard transit standards, as shown in the CARTA case study
  2. The use of on-board transit standards facilitates the replacement of on-board components/systems
  3. An Interface Control Document (ICD) documents the necessary information required to effectively define a system’s interface as well as any rules for communicating with them
  4. Single-point login requires the use of on-board transit standards
