28、PD CEN/TR 16959:2016 CEN/TR 16959:2016 (E) 7 Introduction 0.1 General information NeTEx is a series of CEN Technical Specifications dedicated to the exchange of Public Transport scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information) based on: Transmodel V5.1 (see T1, T1 and T3); IFOPT (see I1); SI
29、RI (see S1, S2, S3, S4, S5); It supports information exchange of relevance to public transport services for passenger information and AVMS (Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems). Many NeTEx concepts are taken directly from Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and explanation of these concepts are e
30、xtracted directly from the respective documents and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with further adaptions in order to fit the NeTEx context. The data exchanges targeted by NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards passenger information and also for data exchange between transit scheduling systems and AVM
31、S. However it is not restricted to these purposes, and it can provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange The NeTEx series of documents is divided into three parts, each covering a functional subset of the CEN Transmodel for Public Transport Information: Part 1
32、describes the Public Transport Network topology (see N1); Part 2 describes Scheduled Timetables (see N2); Part 3 covers Fare information (see N3). NeTEX is intended to be a general purpose XML format designed for the efficient, updateable exchange of complex transport data among distributed systems.
33、 This allows the data to be used in modern web services based architectures and to support a wide range of passenger information and operational applications. Most public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro, tramway, ferry, and their submodes. Moreover
34、, it is possible to describe airports and air journeys, but there has not been any specific consideration of any additional provisions that apply especially to air transport. While there are a number of existing documents available for Timetables, NeTEx is the first systematically engineered documen
35、t that also covers multimodal Fares. 0.2 Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations The concepts covered in NeTEx that relate in particular to long-distance train travel include: rail operators and related organizations; stations and related equipments; journey coupling and journey pa
36、rts; train composition and facilities; PD CEN/TR 16959:2016 CEN/TR 16959:2016 (E) 8 planned passing times; timetable versions and validity conditions. In the case of long distance train, the NeTEx takes into account the requirements formulated by the ERA (European Rail Agency) TAP/TSI (Telematics Ap
37、plications for Passenger/ Technical Specification for Interoperability), entered into force on 13 May 2011 as the Commission Regulation (EU No 454/2011), based on UIC directives. As regards the other exchange protocols, a formal compatibility is ensured with TransXChange (UK), VDV 452 (Germany), NEP
38、TUNE (France), UIC Leaflet, BISON (Netherland) and NOPTIS (Nordic Public Transport Interface Standard). The data exchange is possible either through dedicated web services, through data file exchanges, or using the SIRI exchange protocol as described in Part 2 of the SIRI documentation (see S2). Thi
39、s Technical report is to be used in conjunction with the following documents: EN 15531-1, Public transport - Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations - Part 1: Context and framework (see S1); EN 15531-2, Public transport - Service interface for real-time in
40、formation relating to public transport operations - Part 2: Communications infrastructure (see S2); EN 15531-3, Public transport - Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations - Part 3: Functional service interfaces (see S3); CEN/TS 15531-4, Public transport -
41、Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations - Part 4: Functional service interfaces: Facility Monitoring (see S4); CEN/TS 15531-5, Public transport - Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations - Part 5: Functional servi
42、ce interfaces - Situation Exchange (see S5); EN 12896, Road transport and traffic telematics - Public transport - Reference data model (see T1); EN 28701, Intelligent transport systems - Public transport - Identification of Fixed Objects in Public Transport (see I1). 0.3 NeTEx exchanged information
43、NeTEx provides a means to exchange data for passenger information such as stops, routes timetables and fares, among different computer systems, together with related operational data. It can be used to collect and integrate date from many different stakeholders, and to reintegrate it as it evolves t
44、hrough successive versions. All three parts covered by NeTEx use the same framework of reusable components, versioning mechanisms, validity conditions, global identification mechanisms, etc., defined in a NeTEx framework in Part 1. NeTEx also includes, container elements called “version frames” to g
45、roup data into coherent sets for efficient exchange. NeTEx schema can thus be used to exchange: public Transport schedules including stops, routes, departures times / frequencies, operational notes, and map coordinates; PD CEN/TR 16959:2016 CEN/TR 16959:2016 (E) 9 routes with complex topologies such
46、 as circular routes, cloverleaf and lollipops, and complex workings such as short working and express patterns. Connections with other services can also be described; the days on which the services run, including availability on public holidays and other exceptions; composite journeys such as train
47、journeys that merge or split trains; information about the Operators providing the service; additional operational information, including, positioning runs, garages, layovers, duty crews, useful for AVL and on-board ticketing systems; data about the Accessibility of services to passengers with restr
48、icted mobility; data are versioned with management metadata allowing updates across distributed systems; fare structures, (flat fares, point to point fares, zonal fares); fare products (Single tickets, return tickets, day, and season passses etc); fare prices that apply at specific dates. 0.4 NeTEx
49、exchanging data modality Data in NeTEx format is encoded as XML documents that should conform exactly to the defined schema, and conformance can be checked automatically by standard XML validator tools. The schema can also be used to create bindings to different programming languages to assist automating part of the implementation process for creating software that supports NeTEx formats. In this perspective, a NeTEx service need only to implement those elements of relevan
