The JOURNEY PATTERN model is concerned with the spatial description of services, i.e. spatial aspects of the work of the vehicles. The concerns of this model are different from those of describing the ROUTEs and LINEs. The latter are describing schematic paths of vehicles through the road network, whereas JOURNEY PATTERNs describe how the work of vehicles is performed. These work patterns describe the sequence of points where vehicles stop with specific points being attributed with timing information.

ServicePattern
A SERVICE PATTERN is made up of an ordered sequence of STOP POINTs IN JOURNEY PATTERN, with a SERVICE LINK between each pair of consecutive SCHEDULED STOP POINTs. As the same SCHEDULED STOP POINT may occur more than once in the same SERVICE PATTERN, a STOP POINT IN JOURNEY PATTERN is identified by that SERVICE PATTERN together with an ‘order’ attribute.
