Journey execution, networks, places, schedules, services, people, vehicles, bookings, tickets, fares, activities, shipments, incidents, weather, routing engines, source datasets and evidence masters remain external.

In scope

  • Route or itinerary identity, revision, mandatory kind, boundary, ownership and successor lineage
  • Ordered route path or itinerary composition, constraints, objectives, alternatives, selected plan, clocks and external bindings
  • Validation, disruption, replanning, estimates, provenance, privacy, access, retention and interoperability

Out of scope

  • Owning journey, network, place, schedule, service, person, vehicle, booking, ticket, fare, activity, shipment, incident, weather, routing-engine, dataset, evidence or document lifecycles
  • Equating route with itinerary, route or itinerary with journey, line with route, segment with leg, waypoint with visit, plan with actual movement or estimate with commitment
  • Performing routing computation, autonomous consequential rerouting, safety or legal permission decisions, protected location disclosure or irreversible deletion

Why it exists Filled

Represent one governed reusable or computed route, or one candidate or selected itinerary, with ordered structure, constraints, plan clocks, alternatives and successor lineage without becoming its journey, network, schedule, resource or routing engine.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • A route is a directed path through a network; an itinerary is a plan of legs, visits and transfers.
  • Neither proves movement; actual movement belongs to the journey model.
  • Candidates, ranking and selection rationale are kept, not just the chosen option.
  • Routing engines compute routes; this model records them.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Present a route as legally permitted or safe without evidence.
  • Book or ticket on behalf of a traveller without consent.
  • Reroute consequentially without authority.
  • Disclose protected locations.

Only with a human decision

  • Selecting routes for hazardous loads or vulnerable travellers.
  • Rerouting during safety incidents.

May

  • Register candidate routes and itineraries with constraints.
  • Validate continuity and connection times.
  • Present alternatives with rationale.
  • Supersede a plan on disruption.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Routes for vulnerable travellers must respect accessibility needs.
  • Itineraries reveal plans and locations.
  • Routing choices can push traffic into residential areas.

Who is affected

  • Travellers
  • Residents along routes
  • Operators
  • Emergency services

Owners Filled

  • Routing Engine, Algorithm and Computation Job - The model records requests, parameters, versions and results. Execution, resource use, optimization implementation and job control remain owned by external computation masters.
  • Booking, Ticket, Fare, Activity and Resource - An itinerary may reference entitlements, offers, reservations, activities, vehicles and facilities, but does not own or imply their availability, validity or lifecycle.
  • Trajectory and Moving Feature - Route / Itinerary describes intended path or plan. Actual temporal geometry and movement observations remain journey or moving-feature evidence and are compared rather than merged.

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled

Identity and identifiers required Filled

  • Authoritative route or itinerary master-system identifier and immutable revision.
  • Governed globally resolvable route, itinerary, segment or leg IRI.
  • Adopting-Dimension UUID or ULID when no authoritative external identifier exists.

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

Not applicable

A route is planned geometry and sequence; its length is derived data, not a property of a physical body.

Recognition required Filled

  • A route has ordered waypoints or segments with geometry; an itinerary has ordered legs with times and services.
  • Often confused with a journey (actual movement), a line (service pattern) and a schedule.

Capabilities and actions required Filled

  • Register route or itinerary: Create one governed route or itinerary identity with a mandatory kind and boundary.
  • Define directed route: Append ordered waypoints, nodes, links, segments, topology and geometry references.
  • Compose itinerary: Append ordered legs, stages, visits, calls, transfers and activity references.
  • Bind request constraints: Record hard, soft, accessibility, operational, safety and permission constraints.
  • Record candidate alternatives: Register external routing request, parameters and candidate results without owning the routing engine.
  • Select route or itinerary: Record selection, ranking, rejection rationale and any confirmation state.
  • Bind services and resources: Bind modes, schedules, services, vehicles, facilities, bookings and activities as external references.
  • Validate continuity and feasibility: Validate order, topology, geometry, clocks, transfers, constraints, resource bindings and source freshness.
  • Supersede or replan: Create a successor after disruption, invalidity, changed constraint or better alternative.
  • Project route or itinerary: Produce minimum-necessary standards-aligned or stakeholder views.

Hazards and failure modes required Filled

  • Infeasible connections stranding travellers.
  • Routes violating restrictions such as weight or height.
  • Exposure of planned locations.
  • Stale plans after disruption.

Standards and interfaces required Filled

  • OGC API Routes.
  • GTFS static schedule format.
  • CEN Transmodel and NeTEx.
  • GeoJSON (IETF RFC 7946).

Context of use required Filled

  • EU multimodal travel-information rules are a regional profile, not universal route or itinerary law.
  • Transmodel, NeTEx and GTFS primarily describe public passenger transport; private, freight, pedestrian, indoor, maritime, aviation and off-network plans need explicit profiles.
  • Network restrictions, permits, accessibility, safety and privacy requirements depend on jurisdiction, mode and operating context.

Open questions

  • Decide whether Route and Itinerary should split into separate registry models after paired implementation and query-pattern review.
  • Create independently validated pedestrian, bicycle, road, rail, maritime, aviation, indoor, multimodal, freight, evacuation and autonomous-route profiles.
  • Benchmark path continuity, transfer feasibility, map matching, traffic prediction, routing algorithms, multi-objective ranking, replanning and actual-plan divergence.
  • Pin exact external releases and licensing conditions and obtain independent transport, geospatial, accessibility, safety, privacy, optimization, data and records review before promotion beyond reviewable-draft assurance.
  • Mode, region, safety, accessibility, border, traffic-law, passenger-rights, privacy, licensing and retention profiles require exact current rules and competent review.
  • Network, place, journey, service, schedule, person, vehicle, booking, ticket, fare, activity, shipment, incident, weather, routing-engine, dataset and evidence lifecycles remain in neighboring masters.
  • Certified field crosswalks, routing algorithms, map matching, traffic prediction, feasibility solvers and legal proof requirements remain future work.
  • The aggregate family may require a future breaking split into separate Route and Itinerary specifications after wider implementation evidence.
