An Equipment that may be located on a Vehicle, Site, etc. There are many different types of Equipment, each of which may have specific properties (hence a large classification of concepts is provided as subclasses of this class). The two main specialisations are Local Service and Installed Equipment. A Local Service is an intangible service that is provided at a site, such as selling tickets, porterage, etc. An Installed Equipment is the fixed equipment that may be installed fixed on a site (Place Equipment - e.g., door, lift, gate, etc.) or a vehicle (Vehicle Equipment), or mixed (e.g., rubish bins, sanitary equipment or ticketing equipments). These are further characterised as Place Equipment (equipment which may be located only on a Site, such as a barrier, bench, lift) and Passenger Equipment (equipment which may be located on either a Vehicle or a Site, such as a display terminal, ticket validator or WC)

An Equipment or LocalService is used to describe the further properties provided as part of a particular Facility
Facility
A facility set is an aggregation of facilities. In Netex this is represented as a set of enumerated facility values (names based on TPEG classifications, augmented with UIC etc.). The terms used for relating a facility set to the facilities and equipment are CommonFacilityGroup and otherFacilities. We have preferred using comprisesFacility and comprisesEquipment to simplify the terminology that is being used.
Facility Set
A specialisation of the Stop Place describing a stop of a Flexible Service. It may be composed of Flexible Areas or Hail and Ride Areas identifying the catchment areas for flexible services (when they use areas or flexible quays). Some Flexible Places also use regular Stop Places for their stops. When assigned to a Scheduled Stop Point the corresponding Scheduled Stop Point is supposed to be a Zone (the centroid point of the Zone being the Scheduled Stop Point).
