Brochure HAFAS Information Manager HIM - HaCon

The passengers‘ view: The
SBB visualizes HIM messages
on a map in the journey
planner. Symbols indicate
what kind of disturbances
are to be expected along
the routes (e.g. construction
sites). In addition to the
map, the HIM messages are
explained in detail below.
Creating HIM messages
HIM messages can be created individually as free
text or by means of predefined text modules.
HIM‘s input mask consists of fields for reference
parameters (e.g. line, date, validity) and for creating
the message itself. Usually, a selection of
parameters is defined once and added to HIM as
required. On an everyday basis, users simply add
a value to the predetermined parameter.
Once defined, the reference parameters enable
a HAFAS request in order to determine the
overall impact on the operating schedule: An
overview shows a list of all affected vehicles
that should be annotated with a HIM message
– according to the previously entered reference
parameters. Here, users can also deselect vehicles.
If a vehicle has already been assigned
to HIM information, users can double-check
whether one news item might be redundant
due to another. A summary allows for last
minute corrections before the HIM message
goes live.
