Model Elements
Name Description
  Allocated Hard Infrastructure as a Resource : Class

It is a hard infrainstructure asset (e.g., bridge, road, street) allocated in a service provided in the context of urban system.

  Allocated Urban Element of Transportation as a Resource : Class
  Allocated Urban Resource : Class

Allocated resources as a Service (RaaS).

  Bus : Class
  Car : Class
  Commuter : Class 		A commuter is someone who travels a significant distance each day between home and place of work or study.
  Commuting Service : Class

Commuting is periodically recurring travel between a place of residence and place of work or study, where the traveler, referred to as a commuter, leaves the boundary of their home community.

  Commuting Service Provider : Class
  Element as a Resource : Class

It is everything that is used to satisfy the human needs.

  Element as a Urban Resource : Class

It is every element that is used to satisfy the human needs in the context of urban systems.

  Fixed Urban Element of Transportation : Class

The physical support of transport modes, where routes (e.g. rail tracks, canals, or highways) and terminals (e.g. ports or airports).

  Grey Infrastructure : Class

It is a category of all tangible/physical elements that are (mostly) of atrophic origin (that is, artificial), in other words, engineered assets that provide one or multiple services required by society. This is in turn preliminary subdivided into Urban Elements (e.g., buildings, bridges, rails, roads, streets, and public spaces) and Urban Networks (a composition of these urban elements). 

  gs_allocated_urban_resources : Generalization Set
  gs_non-resident_person : Generalization Set
  gs_person_residence : Generalization Set
  Hard Infrastructure : Class

It is the built environment, the physical connections between places that move people, materials, information, and energy. These "fixed" things include roads, railroads, pipes, buildings, cables, and the networks composed of these constructions. Moreover, encompasses the green infrastructure, which is a category of ecological-oriented designed structures, i.e., a combination of grey and green infrastructures; and the Blue Infrastructure defined as the blue areas, a mix of natural resources (rivers, sea, beaches, etc) and human-designed elements.

  Hard Infrastructure as a Resource : Class

It is the tangible infrastructure, i.e. the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, ports, etc., that are managed as assets in the context of an urban system.

  Human Population : Class

It is a subtype of the Biological Population collective, covering the subtypes of resident, non-resident populations in a given space and at the same time.

  Institutional Agent : Class 		A juridical person is a legal person who is not a natural person but an organization recognized by law as a fictitious person such as a corporation, government agency, non-governmental organization, or international organization (such as the European Union).

 

Juristic Person. An entity, such as a corporation, that is recognized as having legal personality, i.e. it is capable of enjoying and being subject to legal rights and duties. It is contrasted with a human being, who is referred to as a natural person.

  Mobile Urban Element of Transportation : Class

Mobile element of transportation or modes represent the conveyances, mostly taking the form of vehicles used to support the mobility of passengers or freight. Some modes are designed to carry only passengers or freight, while others can carry both.

  Non-Resident Person : Class

It is a role played by persons who are not registered in the Register of Residents in a given municipality at a given time. It can be a tourist or a person who temporarily lives in a certain place without having the rights and duties of residents.

 
  Person : Class

It is every human being with the capacity to influence and act on an urban system.

  Plane : Class
  Rail : Class
  Railway : Class
  Road : Class
  Street : Class
  Subway : Class
  System Element : Class

According to standard ISO/IEC 15288:2015, a system element is a discrete part of a system. A system element can be hardware, software, data, humans, processes, procedures (e.g., operator instructions), facilities, materials, and naturally occurring entities (e.g., water, organisms, minerals), or any combination.

  Train : Class
  Transport Service : Class

It is a service relation between the consumer of transport services and the agent who provides it. For instance, the public transport service provided by a public entity to people in a city.

  Transport Service Execution : Class
  Transportation Network : Class

Transportation Network is a conglomerate of heterogeneous urban elements, such as roads, streets, paths, railways, bridges, etc., used for the mobility or transportation of goods and people.

  Truck : Class
  Urban Element : Class

It is a category of constructed items encompassing buildings, bridges, roads, footpaths, streets, rails, and other related infrastructures.

  Urban Element of Transportation : Class

Consists of urban elements that are used for transportation of people and goods, including fixed infrastructure (e.g. bridges, roads, highways) and mobile element of transportation (e.g., cars, trains, plains, etc).

  Urban Element of Transportation as a Resource : Class
  Urban Network : Class

It is an ordered composition of heterogeneous urban structures, arranged according to their application in an urban system, e.g., a transportation network.

  Urban Service : Class

It represents all services provided by a municipality, either directly or by contract, to any of its current residents. For example: sanitation, water, fire protection, parks, open space, recreation, and streets, roads, and mass transit. The Return Project views urban services as a relationship between the service consumer and the service provider in urban systems. This relation is usually formalized in a document (Normative Description) called Service Contract

  Urban Service Consumer : Class

In general, a service consumer can be anything from a system, to an application, to an artificial agent, to a person. A service consumer is a user of products and services provided by a service provider, which can be either a company or a person. In the domain represented by urban systems, we restrict the definition of service consumer to people and service provider to companies (Juridical Person). Between a service consumer and a service provider, a contract is signed and establishes a bind (a service contract) based on legal rules for the consumption of services.

  Urban Service Consumer Community : Class

It is a group of people connected by their shared interest in a service provided in a urban system.  

  Urban Service Execution : Class

It is an event that executes a service in the context of urban system (health, transport, education). In this event participates one or more allocated urban resources and an agent (Juridical Person), playing the role of Urban Service Provider. This event creates the historical foundational of a relationship called Urban Service between the allocated urban resource and the Urban Service Provider.

  Urban Service Provider : Class

It is a role play by a Juridical Person who is active in service relationships with Urban Resources or Urban Service Consumer/Community. In this role, a Service Provider has the scope to offer, provide, and run urban services such as health, transportation, etc.
