What is PD CEN/TS 16614-3 about?
NeTEx is a technical standard for exchanging public transport networks, scheduled and related data such as stops, routes timetables and fare information based on model V5.1, IFOPT and SIRI. PD CEN/TS 16614 series focuses on Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) standards for public transport. PD CEN/TS 16614-3 specifies exchanges of public transport fares information between systems and organisations.
PD CEN/TS 16614-3 supports the exchange of data for passenger information about public transport services and also for running automated vehicle monitoring systems (AVMS). It is used to exchange data related to scheduled public transport between the systems of public transport organisations.
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro, tramway, ferry, and their sub-modes. It is possible to describe airports and air journeys, but there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to air transport.
Who is PD CEN/TS 16614-3 for?
PD CEN/TS 16614-3 on public transport fares exchange format is useful for:
- Transport Information Systems
- Public transport service providers
- Public transport data management systems
- Organizations involved in public transport operations
- IT engineers
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 16614-3?
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. Transport information systems are used for purposes such as setting schedules and timetables, managing vehicle fleets, issuing tickets and receipts, providing real-time information on service running.
PD CEN/TS 16614-3 provides you with the workflow for the creation and maintenance of fare structures, fare calculation and ticket charging. These guidelines empower organizations to easily exchange fare information.
PD CEN/TS 16614-3 describes fare planning use cases that would help you with a more precise understanding of the scope of the standardization work for fare exchange. PD CEN/TS 16614-3 also provides you with an effective solution to many use cases for fare exchange.
PD CEN/TS 16614-3 provides you guidance on the service interface for real-time information (SIRI), which helps to improve the economic and technical viability of all kinds of public transport information systems.
