Multi Industry Scenarios for Transport - Eurofer

HIPPS project

MIST Working Group, version 2001
HIPPS is a project handled by several European railways, in which 4 functions are defined :
- F1: to inform a requesting Railway on the theoretic date/time arrival of a transport for
which departure characteristics are given.(In order to collect the various national
information message exchanges are done between the “Central system” and each of
them – see table 5)
- F2: to inform a requesting Railway on the real date/time arrival of a transport for which
departure characteristics are given.(In order to collect the various national information
message exchanges are done between the “Central system” and each of them).
- F3: to follow the transport according to what has been scheduled in F2. Any significant
differences will be reported.
- F4: to take special measures in case of anomaly.
Only the exchanged messages for F1 are indicated below. The messages should be similar
for F2 while F3 and F4 have not yet been developed.
Note that the way that information exchanges are made with the consignor and the
consignee, depends exclusively on the destination and arrival Railway.
