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.
