Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/5 and EN 15531-1/2/3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part1 and Part2 and the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope of Part3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance-based fares, stage fares, pay as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.
1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro, tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to air transport.

Overview - CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 (NeTEx Part 3)
CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 defines the NeTEx public transport fares exchange format used to exchange structured fare information between systems. Part 3 of NeTEx extends the network and timetable models in Parts 1 & 2 to describe fare structures, fare products, sales offers and the metadata needed to present fares to passengers and to integrate fares with journey planning and AVMS (Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems). NeTEx Part 3 is based on and refines Transmodel V5.1, IFOPT and SIRI to provide a consistent XML/XSD mapping for scheduled transport and fares.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Fare model and data scope: supports flat, zonal, distance-based, time-dependent, stage, PAYG, season passes and other fare structures.
- Fare products and conditions: models the attributes, eligibility rules and complex conditions (temporal, user-group, concession rules) attached to fare products.
- Pricing vs. price data: allows exchange of price parameters and actual prices but does not define pricing algorithms-Fare Management Systems handle calculation logic.
- Sales and retail metadata: describes sales channels, travel documents, sales offers and retail packages to enable integration with front‑end retail and passenger information systems.
- Validation & control elements: includes elements to represent what can be validated or controlled (e.g., tickets, access rights).
- Technical artifacts: conceptual and physical data models, XSD mapping rules, version frames and guidance for mapping to other frameworks (e.g., TAP TSI).
- Coverage of modes: applicable to rail, bus, coach, metro, tram, ferry (and potential airport/airfare description).
Practical applications and users
Who benefits:
- Public transport authorities and regional fare planners - to exchange and harmonize fare rules across operators or regions.
- IT vendors and system integrators - for building journey planners, passenger information systems, AVMS and fare management integrations.
- Ticketing and retail platforms - to ingest standardized fare offers and sales metadata (upstream data feed).
- Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) providers and aggregators - to combine network, timetable and fare data for multimodal journey offers.
Practical uses:
- Sharing complete fare catalogs between agencies and third‑party trip planners.
- Publishing fare conditions and price data in customer-facing apps.
- Feeding fare attributes into journey planners to compute best-value itineraries (pricing logic remains with fare engines).

This document (CEN/TS 16614-3:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278
“Intelligent transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 16614-3:2016.
This document presents Part 3 of the European Technical Specification known as “NeTEx”. NeTEx
provides a framework for specifying communications and data exchange protocols for
organisations wishing to exchange scheduled Information relating to public transport operations.
This Technical Specification is made up of three parts defining a single European Standard series,
which provides a complete exchange format for public transport networks, timetable description
and fare information.
• Part 1 is the description of the public transport network topology exchange format. It also
contains use cases shared with part 2, and modelling rules and the description of a framework
shared by all parts.
• Part 2 is the description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.
• Part 3 is the description of the fare information exchange format.
Part 1 is fully standalone, and part 2 and 3 rely on part 1.
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://netex-cen.eu, along with available guidance on its
use, example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments.
This document is highly technical, and a special care has been taken to keep the text readable. In
particular a set of formatting conventions is followed that enhances the usual CEN writing rules in
order to distinguish references to elements of the formal models within text:
• Transmodel terms and NeTEx conceptual model elements are in capital letters (JOURNEY
PATTERN for example).
• NeTEx physical model names are in bold italic font and use camelcase style with no spaces
(JourneyPattern for example).
• NeTEx physical model attribute types are in italic style and use camelcase style with no spaces
(TypeOfEntity for example).

Introduction
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation
and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. These systems are used for a range of specific
purposes: setting schedules and timetables; managing vehicle fleets; publicising fares, issuing tickets
and receipts; providing real-time information on service running, and so on.
The first two parts of the European Technical Specification NeTEx specify a Network and Timetable
Exchange for Public Transport. It is intended to be used to exchange data relating to scheduled public
transport between the systems of PT organisations. It can also be seen as complementary to the SIRI
(Service Interface for Real-time Information) standard, as SIRI needs a prior exchange of reference data
from NeTEx’s scope to provide the necessary context for the subsequent exchange of a real-time data.
This document (NeTEx – Part 3) specifies exchanges of Public Transport fares between systems and
organisations. It is a complement to Part 1 and Part 2 in the sense that it uses a subset of concepts
defined there.
Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of
Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardised interfaces, systems can be
implemented as discrete pluggable modules that can be chosen from a wide variety of suppliers in a
competitive market, rather than as monolithic proprietary systems from a single supplier. Interfaces
also allow the systematic automated testing of each functional module, vital for managing the
complexity of increasing large and dynamic systems. Furthermore, individual functional modules can be
replaced or evolved, without unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent function.
This standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service
management: Interoperability – the standard will facilitate interoperability between information
processing systems of the transport operators by: (i) introducing common architectures for message
exchange; (ii) introducing a modular set of compatible information services, (iii) using common data
models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a consistent
approach to data management.
Technical advantages include the following: a modular reusing of a common communication layer
shared with SIRI for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and
makes the standard readily extensible in future.
1 Scope
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is
based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/5 and EN 15531-
1/2/3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public
transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and
explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx,
sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by
NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS
with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also
provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using
data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and Part 2 and
the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope
of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for
example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance-based fares, stage fares, pay
as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to
describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to
specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be
complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify
pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare
Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required
for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their
conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and
integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is
complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of
the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on
the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.
Under preparation.
1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro,
tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but
there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to
air transport.
1.4 Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations
The overall approach for the definition of fares within NeTEx Part 3 follows the approach used by
Transmodel V5.1, namely the definition of access rights rather than of just products.
This approach, used in Transmodel V5.1 (Fare Collection data model) to specify the access rights related
to the urban public transport (for all urban modes) has been extended to cover access rights for long-
distance rail.
NOTE The concepts from Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT used and/or modified by NeTEx are incorporated into
Transmodel V6 to guarantee compatibility and coherence of standards.
Concepts covered in NeTEx Part 1 and 2 that relate in particular to long-distance train travel include;
rail operators and related organizations; stations and related equipment; journey coupling and journey
parts; train composition and facilities; planned passing times; timetable versions and validity conditions
and train routing restrictions.
In the case of long distance train access rights, NeTEx takes into account the requirements formulated
by the ERA (European Rail Agency) – TAP/TSI (Telematics Applications 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. These relate in particular to the B1 (Non Reservation Tickets),
B2 (Integrated Reservation Tickets) and B3 (Special Fares) along with various UIC Leaflets.
As regards the other exchange protocols for network and timetable exchanges, a formal compatibility is
ensured with TransXChange (UK), VDV 452 (Germany), NEPTUNE (France), BISON (The Netherlands)
and NOPTIS (Nordic Public Transport Interface Standard).
The exchange of data in NeTEx format can be undertaken using a variety of protocols. For example:
through dedicated web services, through data file exchanges, or by using the SIRI exchange protocol as
described in part 2 of the SIRI documentation. NeTEx adds additional services using the common SIRI
transport mechanism.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16614-3:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278
“Intelligent transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 16614-3:2016.
This document presents Part 3 of the European Technical Specification known as “NeTEx”. NeTEx
provides a framework for specifying communications and data exchange protocols for
organisations wishing to exchange scheduled Information relating to public transport operations.
This Technical Specification is made up of three parts defining a single European Standard series,
which provides a complete exchange format for public transport networks, timetable description
and fare information.
• Part 1 is the description of the public transport network topology exchange format. It also
contains use cases shared with part 2, and modelling rules and the description of a framework
shared by all parts.
• Part 2 is the description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.
• Part 3 is the description of the fare information exchange format.
Part 1 is fully standalone, and part 2 and 3 rely on part 1.
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://netex-cen.eu, along with available guidance on its
use, example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments.
This document is highly technical, and a special care has been taken to keep the text readable. In
particular a set of formatting conventions is followed that enhances the usual CEN writing rules in
order to distinguish references to elements of the formal models within text:
• Transmodel terms and NeTEx conceptual model elements are in capital letters (JOURNEY
PATTERN for example).
• NeTEx physical model names are in bold italic font and use camelcase style with no spaces
(JourneyPattern for example).
• NeTEx physical model attribute types are in italic style and use camelcase style with no spaces
(TypeOfEntity for example).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this document: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,

Introduction
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation
and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. These systems are used for a range of specific
purposes: setting schedules and timetables; managing vehicle fleets; publicising fares, issuing tickets
and receipts; providing real-time information on service running, and so on.
The first two parts of the European Technical Specification NeTEx specify a Network and Timetable
Exchange for Public Transport. It is intended to be used to exchange data relating to scheduled public
transport between the systems of PT organisations. It can also be seen as complementary to the SIRI
(Service Interface for Real-time Information) standard, as SIRI needs a prior exchange of reference data
from NeTEx’s scope to provide the necessary context for the subsequent exchange of a real-time data.
This document (NeTEx – Part 3) specifies exchanges of Public Transport fares between systems and
organisations. It is a complement to Part 1 and Part 2 in the sense that it uses a subset of concepts
defined there.
Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of
Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardised interfaces, systems can be
implemented as discrete pluggable modules that can be chosen from a wide variety of suppliers in a
competitive market, rather than as monolithic proprietary systems from a single supplier. Interfaces
also allow the systematic automated testing of each functional module, vital for managing the
complexity of increasing large and dynamic systems. Furthermore, individual functional modules can be
replaced or evolved, without unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent function.
This standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service
management: Interoperability – the standard will facilitate interoperability between information
processing systems of the transport operators by: (i) introducing common architectures for message
exchange; (ii) introducing a modular set of compatible information services, (iii) using common data
models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a consistent
approach to data management.
Technical advantages include the following: a modular reusing of a common communication layer
shared with SIRI for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and
makes the standard readily extensible in future.
1 Scope
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is
based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/5 and EN 15531-
1/2/3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public
transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and
explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx,
sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by
NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS
with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also
provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using
data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and Part 2 and
the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope
of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for
example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance-based fares, stage fares, pay
as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to
describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to
specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be
complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify
pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare
Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required
for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their
conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and
integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is
complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of
the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on
the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.
Under preparation.
1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro,
tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but
there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to
air transport.
1.4 Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations
The overall approach for the definition of fares within NeTEx Part 3 follows the approach used by
Transmodel V5.1, namely the definition of access rights rather than of just products.
This approach, used in Transmodel V5.1 (Fare Collection data model) to specify the access rights related
to the urban public transport (for all urban modes) has been extended to cover access rights for long-
distance rail.
NOTE The concepts from Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT used and/or modified by NeTEx are incorporated into
Transmodel V6 to guarantee compatibility and coherence of standards.
Concepts covered in NeTEx Part 1 and 2 that relate in particular to long-distance train travel include;
rail operators and related organizations; stations and related equipment; journey coupling and journey
parts; train composition and facilities; planned passing times; timetable versions and validity conditions
and train routing restrictions.
In the case of long distance train access rights, NeTEx takes into account the requirements formulated
by the ERA (European Rail Agency) – TAP/TSI (Telematics Applications 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. These relate in particular to the B1 (Non Reservation Tickets),
B2 (Integrated Reservation Tickets) and B3 (Special Fares) along with various UIC Leaflets.
As regards the other exchange protocols for network and timetable exchanges, a formal compatibility is
ensured with TransXChange (UK), VDV 452 (Germany), NEPTUNE (France), BISON (The Netherlands)
and NOPTIS (Nordic Public Transport Interface Standard).
The exchange of data in NeTEx format can be undertaken using a variety of protocols. For example:
through dedicated web services, through data file exchanges, or by using the SIRI exchange protocol as
described in part 2 of the SIRI documentation. NeTEx adds additional services using the common SIRI
transport mechanism.

Die Norm SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 behandelt den Austausch von Tarifdaten im öffentlichen Verkehr und ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des NeTEx-Standards. Das Dokument bietet eine detaillierte Struktur für die Übertragung von Informationen zu Fahrpreisen, die auf den Modellen des Netzwerks und der Fahrpläne basieren, die in den Teilen 1 und 2 des Standards festgelegt sind. Ein herausragendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist ihre umfassende Abdeckung verschiedener Tarifstrukturen, die im öffentlichen Verkehr auftreten können. Dies reicht von Flatrate-Preisen über zonale Tarife bis hin zu zeitabhängigen und distanzbasierten Preisen. Diese Vielfalt ermöglicht die präzise Beschreibung komplexer Tarife, die an verschiedene Nutzergruppen oder zeitliche Bedingungen gebunden sein können. Die Norm bietet zudem ein effektives Rahmenwerk für den Austausch tatsächlicher Preisdaten, ohne dabei spezifische Preisalgorithmen zu definieren, was die Flexibilität und Anwendbarkeit in unterschiedlichen Kontexten erhöht. Die Exzellenz von SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 liegt auch in ihrer Fähigkeit, Tarifdaten als Teil der integrierten Informationssysteme für die Fahrgastinformation zu verwalten. Es hebt sich von den nachgelagerten Ticket- und Vertriebssystemen ab, indem es die notwenigen Tarifdaten in einem strukturierten Format bereitstellt, das nicht nur für Preisberechnungen, sondern auch für die Präsentation von Informationen an die Öffentlichkeit wichtig ist. Darüber hinaus berücksichtigt die Norm alle Massenverkehrsmittel, einschließlich Bahn, Bus, U-Bahn und Fähre, und bietet somit eine umfassende Lösung für den Daten Austausch im gesamten öffentlichen Verkehrswesen. Es ist jedoch wichtig zu beachten, dass spezifizierte Anforderungen für den Luftverkehr momentan nicht im gleichen Maße behandelt werden, welches eine Hoffnung auf zukünftige Erweiterungen in diesem Bereich trägt. Insgesamt bietet die Norm SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 eine robuste und effiziente Methode für den Austausch von Fahrpreisinformationen und ist damit eine schlüssige Ressource für alle, die im Bereich des öffentlichen Verkehrs tätig sind. Ihre Stärken liegen in der Flexibilität, der Komplexität der Tarifstrukturen und der Integration in bestehende Informationssysteme, was sie besonders relevant in einem sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Verkehrsmarkt macht.
Le document SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 est un standard essentiel pour l'échange d'informations sur les tarifs de transport public, relevant de la série NeTEx (Network and Timetable Exchange). Sa portée est axée sur l'échange de données tarifaires qui s'intègrent parfaitement avec les modèles de réseau et d'horaires définis dans d'autres parties du standard NeTEx, assurant ainsi une interopérabilité et une cohérence entre les systèmes de transport. L'un des points forts de ce standard est sa capacité à décrire une vaste gamme de structures tarifaires, notamment les tarifs fixes, zonaux, dépendants du temps, basés sur la distance, ainsi que d'autres options complexes comme les abonnements saisonniers. Cette flexibilité permet aux gestionnaires de transport public de s'adapter aux besoins variés des utilisateurs, offrant ainsi une expérience utilisateur enrichie. De plus, le document précise les produits tarifaires pouvant être achetés et les conditions attachées à ces tarifs, y compris des restrictions possibles pour certains groupes d'utilisateurs. Cette fonctionnalité est cruciale pour une gestion efficace des données tarifaires dans les systèmes d'information destinés aux passagers. Un autre aspect notable est que NeTEx ne se limite pas à la transmission de tarifs, mais permet également l'échange de données nécessaires pour les calculs de prix, bien qu'il ne spécifie pas les algorithmes de tarification eux-mêmes. Cela fait de NeTEx un standard complémentaire aux systèmes de gestion des tarifs, positionné en amont des systèmes de vente au détail et de billetterie. La prise en compte de tous les modes de transport public de masse, tels que les trains, les bus, les métros, et même les transports maritimes, illustre la pertinence de ce standard dans un contexte multimodal. Bien qu'il soit appliqué principalement aux systèmes terrestres, la possibilité de décrire les transports aériens souligne sa flexibilité et son ambition d'évoluer avec les besoins de l'écosystème des transports. En résumé, le SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 représente un cadre incontournable pour l'échange de données tarifaires dans le domaine des transports publics, garantissant une intégration harmonieuse des informations et une adaptabilité aux divers scénarios d'usage.
SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020は、公共交通のネットワークおよび時刻表交換（NeTEx）の一環として、特に公共交通運賃の交換形式に焦点を当てた標準です。この標準は、運行データの交換を行うための枠組みを提供しており、公共交通サービスに関する乗客情報の提供や自動車両監視システム（AVMS）での運用に必要な情報を支援します。NeTExは、Transmodel V5.1、IFOPT、SIRIに基づいており、これらの標準からの定義や説明を適用することで、公共交通のデータ交換の革新を図っています。 この標準の大きな強みは、公的交通機関の多様な運賃構造と運賃データを交換するための包括的なデータモデルを提供している点です。具体的には、フラット運賃、ゾーン運賃、時間依存運賃、距離制運賃、ステージ運賃、利用毎支払い運賃、シーズンパスなど、さまざまな運賃構造を詳細に記述することが可能です。また、特定の運賃に伴う条件を明確にしやすく、利用者の異なるニーズに応じた運賃情報を提供できます。 さらに、NeTExは運賃データの管理を小売システムの「上流」に位置付け、運賃情報を旅程計画やネットワークデータと統合する役割を果たします。これは、小売システムとは異なり、運賃を販売したり、その使用を検証したりする制御システムとは明確に異なるものです。この区別は、運賃管理システムとの相互関係を理解する上で重要です。 交通手段に関しては、NeTExは鉄道、バス、コーチ、地下鉄、トラム、フェリーなど、すべての質量公共交通手段を考慮しています。空港や航空運賃を記述することも可能ですが、航空輸送に特有の追加要件については特別な考慮はされていません。このように、NeTExは公共交通の運賃交換において重要な役割を果たしており、その包括的なアプローチは、多様な利用ケースに対する効果的な解決策を提供します。 以上の点から、SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020は、公共交通運賃の交換形式に関する標準の中でも重要な位置を占めており、その範囲、強み、および関連性は、今後の交通データの効率的な交換を支えるものであると評価できます。
La norme SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020, intitulée "Transport public - Échange de réseau et d'horaires (NeTEx) - Partie 3 : Format d'échange des tarifs de transport public", offre un cadre exhaustif pour l'échange d'informations tarifaires dans le secteur du transport public. Cette norme joue un rôle crucial dans la gestion des données relatives aux tarifs, garantissant une communication fluide entre les systèmes de transport et les utilisateurs finaux. L'étendue de la norme NeTEx se concentre sur plusieurs aspects essentiels des structures tarifaires. Elle permet de décrire une variabilité de structures tarifaires telles que les tarifs fixes, zonaux, dépendants du temps, basés sur la distance, les tarifs à la course, et les abonnements. Cela est particulièrement pertinent dans un paysage où la diversité des offres de transport public est en constante évolution. En intégrant ces différents modèles tarifaires, NeTEx répond efficacement aux besoins variés des différents modes de transport, y compris les trains, bus, métros, tramways et ferries, assurant une homogénéité dans le traitement des informations tarifaires à travers divers systèmes. Les forces de cette norme résident dans sa capacité à utiliser des modèles de données fondés sur le Transmodel et l'IFOPT, assurant ainsi une intégration harmonieuse avec les systèmes de gestion de l'information des passagers et les systèmes de surveillance des véhicules automatisés (AVMS). Les échanges d'informations tarifaires ne se limitent pas à l'évaluation des tarifs, mais incluent également des descriptions textuelles d'attributs tarifaires nécessaires à la présentation des informations au public. Cela permet aux usagers de mieux comprendre les tarifs et les conditions associées, rendant l'accès à l'information plus transparent. En plus, la norme NeTEx, bien qu'elle soit principalement orientée vers l'échange de données à des fins de gestion des informations pour les passagers, ne se limite pas à cela. Elle peut également supporter une multitude d'autres cas d'utilisation liés à l'échange de données dans le transport, ce qui démontre sa flexibilité et sa pertinence face aux besoins diversifiés des mettre en réseau les systèmes de transport. Enfin, l'approche "en amont" de NeTEx par rapport aux systèmes de vente et de distribution des titres de transport renforce sa valeur. En permettant une gestion intégrée des données tarifaires avec la planification des trajets et les données du réseau, cette norme assure une cohérence et une précision dans l’échange d’informations, ce qui est indispensable pour un service public de transport efficace et réactif.
The SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 standard, titled "Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format," provides a comprehensive framework for the exchange of public transport fare structures and data. The scope of this standard is significant, as it integrates with the underlying network and timetable information established in Parts 1 and 2 and the Fare Collection data model from Transmodel V5.1. One of the key strengths of this standard is its ability to accurately describe various fare structures prevalent in public transport systems, such as flat fares, zonal fares, and distance-based fares. This versatility enables a broad range of fare products to be defined, catering to different user groups and conditions. The inclusion of detailed attributes and descriptions assists in effectively presenting fare information to the public, enhancing user comprehension and accessibility. Furthermore, the NeTEx framework positions itself as an essential tool in the upstream management of fare data, facilitating integration with journey planning and network information systems. This strategic positioning distinguishes it from downstream ticketing and retail systems, thus ensuring that NeTEx is not only effective for current fare exchange demands but also adaptable for various additional transport data exchange scenarios. The standard’s relevance extends across all mass public transport modes, including train, bus, metro, and ferry, which underscores its comprehensive approach in addressing diverse transportation needs. While it also allows for the potential description of air transport fare structures, the standard appropriately recognizes the lack of specific adaptations for air travel, maintaining focus on the predominant ground transport categories. In summary, SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 stands out for its robust framework for public transport fares exchange, reflecting a modern and adaptable approach that is well-suited to current and future public transport infrastructure requirements.
SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 표준은 대중교통 데이터의 교환을 위한 중요한 프레임워크를 제공합니다. 이 표준은 네트워크, 시간표, 요금 정보의 체계적 교환을 가능하게 하며, 다양한 대중교통 서비스에 대한 승객 정보의 제공 및 자동 차량 모니터링 시스템(AVMS)을 지원하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 Transmodel V5.1, IFOPT, SIRI 등의 기존 표준에 기반하여 개발되었다는 점입니다. 이를 통해 대중교통 서비스에 필요한 기본 데이터 모델을 활용할 수 있어 데이터의 일관성과 신뢰성을 높입니다. 특히, NeTEx는 다양한 대중교통의 요금 구조를 정확히 표현하고, 해당 요금에 부수적인 조건을 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 기능을 갖추고 있습니다. 이로 인해 대중교통 요금 정보의 교환이 보다 효율적으로 이루어질 수 있습니다. SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020의 요금 범위는 평준화된 요금, 구역 요금, 시간 기반 요금, 거리 기반 요금 등 다양한 요금 구조를 설명할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 이러한 정보는 대중교통 사용자에게 투명하게 전달되며, 복잡한 요금 조건을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 기반을 제공합니다. 또한, 실제 가격 데이터를 교환할 수 있는 기능은 요금 관리 시스템과의 상호작용을 강화하여, 공공 정보 시스템 내에서의 데이터 통합을 매끄럽게 만들어 줍니다. 대중교통 수단에 대한 포괄적인 접근은 기차, 버스, 지하철 등 다양한 운송 수단을 포함하며, 이는 사용자 경험을 향상시키는 데 중요한 요소로 작용합니다. 다만, 항공 운송에 대한 특별한 요구 사항은 명확히 고려되지 않았다는 점은 주의할 필요가 있습니다. 전반적으로, SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 표준은 대중교통 데이터의 교환을 위한 강력하고 유연한 기반을 제공하며, 이는 데이터 관리 및 고객 서비스 향상에 기여할 것입니다.
SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 표준은 대중교통 네트워크 및 시간표 교환(NeTEx)의 일환으로, 대중교통 요금 교환 형식에 중점을 두고 있다. 이 표준은 정해진 데이터(네트워크, 시간표 및 요금 정보)의 교환을 지향하며, Transmodel V5.1, IFOPT 및 SIRI와 같은 기존 표준에 기반을 두고 있다. NeTEx의 정의와 설명은 이러한 개념에서 직접 추출되어 재사용되며, 대중교통 서비스에 대한 승객 정보 제공과 자동 차량 모니터링 시스템(AVMS) 운영과 관련된 정보를 효과적으로 지원한다. Part 3의 주요 강점은 다양한 대중교통 요금 구조를 설명할 수 있는 능력이다. 예를 들어, 정액 요금, 구역 요금, 시간 의존 요금, 거리 기반 요금, 등급 요금, 사용 후 지불 요금 및 시즌 패스 등 다양한 요금 구조를 설명하는 데 용이하다. 또한, 특정 요금에 부여될 수 있는 조건(예: 특정 사용자 그룹에게 제한되거나 시간 제약을 받는 경우)을 상세히 설명할 수 있어 복잡한 요금 조건을 효과적으로 처리할 수 있다. NeTEx는 실제 가격 데이터를 교환할 수 있도록 지원하지만, 요금 계산 방식이나 가격 알고리즘 자체를 명시하지 않는다. 이는 요금 관리 시스템의 책임으로, 가격 계산에 필요한 다양한 매개변수를 교환하는 데 사용될 수 있다. 더불어, 대중에 제공하기 위해 요금 및 사용 조건을 설명하는 데 필요한 속성과 텍스트 설명을 포함하는 것으로, 대중의 접근성을 높이고 정보 제공 시스템에서 저명성을 부각시킨다. 이 표준은 모든 대중교통 수단(기차, 버스, 코치, 지하철, 트램, 페리 등)을 포괄하며, 공항 및 항공 여행과 항공 요금을 설명할 수 있는 기능을 갖추고 있지만, 항공 운송에 적용되는 특정 요구사항에 대한 특별한 고려는 이루어지지 않았다. NeTEx는 대중교통 데이터 교환을 위한 효과적인 솔루션으로, 요금 데이터를 적절히 관리하고 통합하여 공공 정보 시스템에서 여행 계획 및 네트워크 데이터와 상호작용할 수 있도록 한다. 이와 같이 SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 표준은 대중교통의 요금 정보 아키텍처 및 데이터 교환의 유용성을 높이는 데 기여하고 있으며, 대중교통 서비스의 접근성 및 운영 효율성을 향상시키는 데 중요한 역할을 한다.
The SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 standard, titled "Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format," addresses the crucial domain of public transport fare data exchange. This standard's scope is comprehensive, focusing on the structured representation of various fare types and their conditions, facilitating efficient inter-system communication and data sharing among transport providers and information systems. One of the greatest strengths of this standard lies in its robust framework, which is built upon well-established models such as Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT. By integrating these models, NeTEx Part 3 provides a cohesive format for representing fare structures, which include complex variations such as flat fares, zonal fares, and pay-as-you-go options. Furthermore, the ability to describe fare products-detailing purchasing conditions and target user groups-adds another layer of depth and functionality that is essential for public transport operators seeking to offer transparent pricing to consumers. The relevance of this standard is particularly pronounced as public transport systems increasingly leverage technological advancements to improve service delivery and customer experience. By encapsulating fare data into a structured format, NeTEx enables transport agencies to provide accurate fare information in conjunction with journey planning and network data, addressing a key requirement of contemporary public-facing information systems. This synergy not only enhances user interaction but also boosts the operational efficiency of Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS). Another notable feature of the NeTEx Part 3 standard is its inclusivity regarding transport modes. It accommodates all mass public transport modes, from trains and buses to ferries and trams. This broad applicability ensures that the fare exchange format can be utilized across different transport segments, catering to the diverse needs of urban and regional transport services. In conclusion, the SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 standard stands as a critical component in the realm of public transport fare data exchange. Its strengths in structural integrity, comprehensive fare description capabilities, and the facilitation of inter-system interoperability underscore its significance. As public transport systems evolve, the relevance of such standards is pivotal in fostering an integrated, customer-friendly transportation ecosystem.
Die SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 ist ein bedeutender Standard, der sich mit dem Austausch von Fahrpreisinformationen im öffentlichen Personenverkehr befasst. Der Standard ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des NeTEx (Network and Timetable Exchange) und konzentriert sich auf die Erfassung und den Austausch der Tarifstrukturen, die für verschiedene Verkehrsmittel gelten. Der Geltungsbereich des Standards ist breit gefächert und umfasst die Beschreibung unterschiedlicher Tarifstrukturen, von Pauschalpreisen über zonale Preise bis hin zu zeitabhängigen und distanzbasierten Tarifen. Dies macht den Standard besonders relevant für die Vielzahl an Transportszenarien, die in modernen öffentlichen Verkehrssystemen anzutreffen sind. Der Standard gestattet auch die Definition von Fahrprodukten und spezifischen Bedingungen, die für den Ticketkauf gelten, einschließlich Nutzergruppen und zeitlichen Einschränkungen. Ein zentraler Vorzug des Standards liegt in seiner umfassenden Datenstruktur, die auf den Grundlagen von Transmodel V5.1, IFOPT und SIRI basiert. Diese strukturierten Daten unterstützen nicht nur die Bereitstellung von Fahrgastinformationen, sondern auch die Integration in automatisierte Fahrzeugüberwachungssysteme (AVMS). Die Möglichkeit, Echtzeit-Preisdaten auszutauschen, ist eine weitere Stärke des NeTEx-Standards. Obwohl NeTEx selbst keine Preisberechnungsalgorithmen definiert, ermöglicht er die Übermittlung der notwendigen Parameter zur Unterstützung von Tarifberechnungen. Darüber hinaus berücksichtigt der Standard sämtliche Massenverkehrsmittel wie Züge, Busse, U-Bahnen und Fähren, was ihn zu einem universellen Werkzeug für Verkehrsmanager und Systemintegratoren macht. Auch wenn der Standard die Luftfahrt nicht speziell behandelt, bietet er dennoch die Möglichkeit, Flughäfen und Flugreisen in die Datenstruktur zu integrieren. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass SIST-TS CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 durch seine integrierte Herangehensweise und Flexibilität einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Standardisierung des Austauschs von Fahrpreisinformationen im öffentlichen Verkehr leistet und somit einen hohen praktischen Wert für die Branche darstellt.
