What is BS EN 12896-3 - Public transport timing information and scheduling about?
The public transport reference data model includes entity definitions for different types of points and links as the building elements of the topological network. Stop points, timing points and route points, for instance, reflect the different roles one point may have in the network definition.
BS EN 12896-3 presents the reference data model for public transport, based on: the reference data model, EN 12896, known as Transmodel V5.1 and EN 28701, known as IFOPT. BS EN 12896-3 presents time-related data structures and replaces the sections of EN 12896 referring to the time-related tactical planning components and to vehicle scheduling.
BS EN 12896-3 presents the following items:
- Rationale for the Transmodel Standard
- Use of the Transmodel Standard
- Applicability of the Transmodel Standard
- Conformance statement
- Transmodel origin
- Reference to the previous version and other documents
Who is BS EN 12896-3 - Public transport timing information and scheduling for?
BS EN 12896-3 on public transport timing information and scheduling is useful for:
- Transport authorities
- Software companies/IT firms
- The public transport industry
- Public transport organizations
Why should you use BS EN 12896-3 - Public transport timing information and scheduling?
Public transport services rely on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. These systems are used for a range of specific purposes such as setting schedules and timetables, managing vehicle fleets, issuing tickets and receipts, providing real-time information on service running, and so on.
BS EN 12896-3 describes the time-related information at the level of vehicle journeys, i.e., planned timing for the vehicles at the day-type level and also describes the link of the timing information for a single operating day and the day type-related timing.
BS EN 12896-3 describes the information related to the work of vehicles as planned for days types, it constitutes the main part of the vehicle scheduling data domain and describes operational assignments related to vehicle journeys.
