ACTIF – A Tool for Conceptualizing Concrete Answers in the Challenge for Sustainable Mobility in Public Transportation

The sustainable mobility has become a leitmotiv for the national and European transportation policy. Prefering the name “Ministry for Ecology and Sustainable Development and the Sea” than “Ministry for Transport or Publicworks”, the French government shows the will of taking into account this dimension in its policy and its actions. ACTIF - the French Framework Architecture for ITS – is one of its actions for promoting the interoperability of transport systems. For making ACTIF a true Assistance for Conceptualizing Interoperable Transport Systems, the ACTIF-team, reinforced by private and public partners, is working on important improvements on the model and on its tool OSCAR. The first challenge was to propose useful outputs answering better to the user expectations: diagrams and documents for project managers and designers, descriptions of organisations and functional chains, interfaces between systems and sub-systems, details concerning data flows and applicable standards, and functional specifications. This led to important improvements in: 1) ACTIF methodological guidelines, clearer, and closer to the project managers questions; 2) ACTIF-model, with addition of new transport services; 3) ACTIF tools, with the last version of OSCAR, the selection tool which is now perfectly bilingual; and 4) Applications made on concrete projects, eventually out of the French borders (for example, open platform for exchanging information in Shanghai – VIAJEO, EC project of the 7th Framework Program for Research and Development). With these enrichments, the wish of ACTIF-team is to contribute to produce interoperable IT systems, following clear and shared frameworks and generalizing the use of standards.
