Group Of Stop Places
A grouping of STOP PLACEs which will be commonly referenced for a specific purpose. The term corresponds to a specialisation of standard Transmodel concept GROUP OF ENTITIES.
Stop Points
A stop point (StopPlace) is a special type of site (Site) normally located in a . As a Site, a StopPlace can have multiple- Parkings, Levels (each one with its own Entrance), and accessibility Equipment. In addition, a StopPlace is divided into subordinate Quays (and below the Quay, Boarding Positions). Each StopPlace can also have waiting areas (Access Space) and footpaths (NavigationPath).
The structure of stop places is subject to variation. It can be anything from a simple kerb stop, to the most complex transport hubs. The following structure should be used to describe a stop place:
- A StopPlace always has at least one Quay.
- A StopPlace may have AccessSpaces.
- A StopPlace may have a parent StopPlace (maximum 1 level of nesting).
- Two or more StopPlaces, including parent StopPlaces, can be grouped into a GroupOfStopPlaces.
- A Quay can have BoardingPositions (usually only relevant to trains).
Stop Place

Quay
A place such as a platform, stance, or quayside where passengers have access to PT vehicles, Taxi, cars or other means of transportation. A QUAY may serve one or more VEHICLE STOPPING PLACEs and be associated with one or more STOP POINTS. A QUAY may contain other sub QUAYs. A child QUAY must be physically contained within its parent QUAY.

Boarding Position

Access Space
An area within a STOP PLACE that does not give direct access to transport vehicles. May be connected to QUAYS by PATH LINKs.

Paths
Path Link
A link between any two PLACEs (That is STOP PLACEs, ACCESS SPACEs or QUAYs, BOARDING POSITIONs, POINTs OF INTEREST etc or PATH JUNCTIONs) that represents a step in a possible route for pedestrians, cyclists or other out of vehicle passengers within or between a PLACE.

Path Junction
A designated point, inside or outside of a STOP PLACE or POINT OF INTEREST, at which two or more PATH LINKs may connect or branch.

Navigation Path
A designated path between two places. May include an ordered sequence of PATH LINKs.
