Annotation

General scope of the Standard

The main objective of the present Standard is to present the public transport reference data model based on:

— the public transport reference data model published 2006 as EN 12896 and known as Transmodel V5.1;

— the model for the Identification of Fixed Objects for Public transport, published 2009 as EN 28701and known as IFOPT;

incorporating the requirements of

— EN 15531-1 to 3 and CEN/TS 15531-4 and CEN/TS 15531-5, Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations (SIRI);

— CEN/TS 16614-1 and CEN/TS 16614-2, Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx);

in particular the specific needs for long distance train operation.

Particular attention is drawn to the data model structure and methodology:

— the data model is described in a modular form in order to facilitate understanding and use of the model;

— the data model is entirely described in UML.

In particular, a reference data model kernel is described, referring to the data domain:

— network description: routes, lines, journey patterns, timing patterns, service patterns, scheduled stop points and stop places.

— This part corresponds to the network description as in Transmodel V5.1 extended by the relevant parts of IFOPT.
