Glossary

This glossary explains core terminology of MOIA’s Fleet API product.

Fleet API

MOIA’s Fleet API enables the efficient, safe, and legally compliant utilisation and operation of a Fleet of different Vehicles, agnostic to any one specific business model. This allows Missions to be managed for multiple mobility use cases, such as ride-pooling, ride-hailing and Transport as a Service (TaaS).

Fleet

A Fleet is a group of Vehicles which is associated to an Operational Area (OA). This grouping is arbitrary/user-defined and contains only vehicles of a specific Operator.

The current state of the MOIA system allows for only a single Fleet per OA.

Vehicle

A Vehicle is a single entity of a Fleet, which is expected to move within the OA, completing its specific Mission.

Ride

A Ride is a requested transportation of passengers / goods from an origin to a destination for execution by a specific Vehicle in the Fleet.

Partners can evaluate requested Rides and dispatch them to a Vehicle using MOIA’s Fleet API.

Mission

A Mission is a set of Waypoints for a specific Vehicle to complete in a predefined order. It contains a set of updating instructions along with context data (e.g. timestamps and actions expected at each waypoint).

Waypoint

A Waypoint is a particular stopping place that a Vehicle is requested to go to. Waypoints consists of both a location and Waypoint Action (actions that are requested to occur at Waypoint i.e. pick-up passenger/s or service break of Vehicle).

Waypoint Action

Waypoint Action is the activity that is required for a specific Waypoint. Each Waypoint can have multiple Waypoint Actions. There are currently four main types of Waypoint Actions: Pickup, Drop-off, Rebalancing, Service Break.

Operational Area

An Operational Area (OA) defines the area in which automated driving functions may be used.
