Public transport - Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations - Part 1: Context and framework

Update of CEN/TS 15531 respecting the results of the projects in different countries using the specification and taking into account new demands. The existing standard was developed by CEN TC278 WG3 SG7 starting in 2002 and published in 2007. It facilitates interoperability between information processing systems of the transport operators (Automatic Vehicle monitoring Systems: AVMS) in order to allow a better vehicle management as well as the delivery of real time information to end-users.  The main elements of the standard are:  - A communication layer, which defines common procedures for requesting and exchanging of data. The communication procedures are the same for all services and with that represent the interface infrastructure (message referencing, error handling, reset behaviour). Reusing it for the various technical services ensures cost-effective implementation and extension of the interface.   o Request/Response   o Publish/Subscribe Subscriptions define the type and volume of data to be exchanged. - An interface between control centres (AVMS) with the functions   o connection protection (time or journey related)    o connection information (time related)   o real time passenger information (Departure Board, stop centric)   o general message service (event and information message service)   o time table information and network topology (Planned Data Exchange)   o vehicle activity (VIS)  - An interface for time table information between control centres (AVMS) and information systems with the functions   o real time schedule information   o Reference data service for schedule information. The new work item will consider the work of  - Other sub-groups pf WG3: * SG4 Data Base Model for Public Transport (TRANSMODEL)  * SG9 Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx)  - National Mirror Groups Justification Since SIRI has been developed demands for information by interested public bodies and especially customers of public transport have risen substantially.
Existing national and international ‘standards’ (especially TRIDENT, RTIG and VDV-453/454) being in use already before the time of SIRI have reached a high level of performance. Now that time has come to replace the old systems by SIRI, CEN/TS 15531 has to meet this performance. Therefore it is urgent to enhance and refine SIRI, so it meets the level, real time data management has reached today.

Javni prevoz - Vmesnik za informiranje v realnem času za potrebe delovanja javnega prevoza - 1. del: Skladnost in okvir

Posodobitev standarda CEN/TS 15531 ob upoštevanju rezultatov projektov v različnih državah, ki so uporabljale specifikacijo, in ob upoštevanju novih zahtev. Obstoječi standard so začeli razvijati v okviru CEN TC278 WG3 SG7 leta 2002 in ga objavili leta 2007. Olajšuje interoperabilnost med sistemi za obdelavo informacij o izvajalcih prevoza (avtomatski nadzorni sistemi za vozila: AVMS), da se omogoči boljše upravljanje vozil kot tudi zagotavljanje informacij za končne uporabnike v realnem času.  Glavni elementi standarda so:  - komunikacijska plast, ki določa skupne postopke za povpraševanje po podatkih in njihovo izmenjavo. Komunikacijski postopki so enaki za vse storitve in s tem predstavljajo infrastrukturo vmesnika (povezovanje sporočil, obravnavanje napak, vedenje ob ponastavitvi). Ponovna uporaba infrastrukture vmesnika za razne tehnične storitve zagotavlja stroškovno učinkovito izvajanje in razširitev vmesnika.   o Zahteva/odziv   o Objava/naročnina Naročnine določajo tip in količino podatkov za izmenjavo. -   Vmesnik med kontrolnimi centri (AVMS) s funkcijami  o zaščita povezave (v povezavi s časom ali potovanjem)   o informacije o povezavi (v povezavi s časom)   o informacije o potniku v realnem času (tabela odhodov, postanki)   o splošna sporočila (storitev obveščanja o dogodkih in informacije)   o informacije o voznem redu in topologija omrežja (načrtovana izmenjava podatkov)   o aktivnost vozila (VIS)    - Vmesnik za informacije o voznem redu med kontrolnimi centri (AVMS) in informacijskimi sistemi s funkcijami o informacije o razporedu v realnem času  o storitev referenčnih podatkov za informacije o razporedu. Nova delovna postavka bo obravnavala delo - drugih podskupin pf WG3: * SG4 podatkovni model za javni prevoz (TRANSMODEL)  * SG9 omrežje in izmenjava voznega reda (NeTEx)   -   Obrazložitev nacionalnih zrcalnih odborov; od pojava aplikacije SIRI so se znatno povečale zahteve po informacijah s strani zainteresiranih javnih organov in predvsem odjemalcev javnega potniškega prevoza.  Obstoječi nacionalni in mednarodni »standardi« (zlasti TRIDENT, RTIG in VDV-453/454), ki so bili v uporabi še pred pojavom aplikacije SIRI, so dosegli visoko raven izvajanja. Zdaj pa je prišel čas za zamenjavo starih sistemov s SIRI in CEN/TS 15531 se mora prilagoditi novim zmogljivostim. Zato je treba nujno okrepiti in izboljšati SIRI, da bo ustrezala stopnji, ki jo danes dosega upravljanje podatkov v realnem času.

EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 15531-1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278 “Intelligent transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2016 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes CEN/TS 15531-1:2007. SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-1:2007) has been a CEN Technical Specification since 2007 and has been widely used in Europe and elsewhere and proven its usefulness. This document proposes a revised version of SIRI as a CEN European Standard, and is currently submitted to the Formal Vote. The proposed revisions are minor enhancements arising from experience of the deployment of SIRI in many live systems. This document also clarifies the relationship of SIRI to NeTEx, the new CEN Technical Standard for the XML exchange of Public Transport Reference data based on the Transmodel CEN European Standard. This document presents Part 1 of the European Standard known as “SIRI”. SIRI provides a framework for specifying communications and data exchange protocols for organizations wishing to exchange Real-time Information (RTI) relating to public transport operations. The SIRI European Standard is presented in three parts: — context and framework, including background, scope and role, normative references, terms and definitions, symbols and abbreviations, business context and use cases (Part 1), — the mechanisms to be adopted for data exchange communications links (Part 2), — data structures for a series of individual application interface modules PT, ET, ST, SM, VM, CT, CM, GM (Part 3). Two additional parts define additional functional services as CEN Technical Specifications: — additional data structures for additional application interface module FM (Part 4), — additional data structures for additional application interface module SX (Part 5). The XML schema can be downloaded from http://www.siri.org.uk/, along with available guidance on its use, example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments. It is recognized that SIRI is not complete as it stands, and from time to time will need to continue to be enhanced to add additional capabilities. It is therefore intended that a SIRI Management Group should continue to exist, at European level, based on the composition of SG7. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 15531-1:2015



EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 5 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; issuing tickets and receipts; providing real-time information on service running, and so on. This European Standard specifies a Service Interface for Real-time Information (SIRI) about Public Transport. It is intended to be used to exchange information between servers containing real-time public transport vehicle or journey time data. These include the control centres of transport operators and information systems that utilize real-time vehicle information, for example, to deliver services such as travel information. Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardized 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 European Standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service management: — Interoperability – the European 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 for real-time vehicle information; (iii) using common data models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a consistent approach to data management. — Improved operations management – the European Standard will assist in better vehicle management by (i) allowing the precise tracking of both local and roaming vehicles; (ii) providing data that can be used to improve performance, such as the measurement of schedule adherence; and (iii) allowing the distribution of schedule updates and other messages in real-time. — Delivery of real-time information to end-users – the European Standard will assist the economic provision of improved data by; (i) enabling the gathering and exchange of real-time data between AVMS systems; (ii) providing standardized, well defined interfaces that can be used to deliver data to a wide variety of distribution channels. Version 2.0 of SIRI includes a new Simple Web Service designed to support the widespread, massively scalable use of mobile devices and web browsers and other applications to display public transport data directly to users. Technical advantages include the following: — Reusing a common communication layer for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and makes the European Standard readily extensible in future. History Version 1.0 of SIRI was developed in 2004-2005 and submitted to vote, eventually passing through the CEN process to become an approved CEN Technical Specification in 2007. As well as the normative Version 1.0 XSD schema, successive informal working versions of the schema (v 1.1 – 1.4) were released to allow for fixes and to implement some very minor enhancements agreed by the working group. A WSDL version was also developed. Version 2.0 of SIRI was developed in 2012 to coincide with making the SIRI standard a full CEN norm. SIST EN 15531-1:2015



EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 6 The changes in SIRI version 2.0 include: a) consolidating the fixes and minor changes from SIRI in the informal working schemas; b) dropping the flat groups provided for VDV; NOTE Not backwards compatible. c) clarifying a number of points of interpretation; d) a small number of functional enhancements to the ET, PT, ST, SM, and VM services as agreed by the SIRI Working Group. See Readme for further details. For example for Prediction Quality. All such enhancements are marked ‘SIRI v2.0’ in this document; e) updating and clarifying the use of terminology to relate to NeTEx and revised Transmodel usage; f) adding the SIRI Simple Web Services “SIRI-LITE” as additional transport method; g) adding a WSDL document literal version and a WSDL2 version; h) revising the internal modularization of SIRI packages to improve maintainability, and a number of minor corrections to types; i) reviewing the documentation to correct a number minor inconsistencies and errors. Compatibility with previous versions All changes except #2 above are intended to be fully backwards compatible, that is to say, existing documents that validate against earlier versions of the schema will also validate against the 2.0 schema without alteration (other than to schema version numbers), and version 2.0 documents that do not use new features will validate against earlier versions. Version 2.0 documents that use new features will not be backwards compatible. SIST EN 15531-1:2015



EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 7 1 Scope 1.1 Interfaces specified by this standard 1.1.1 Business context Real-time information may be exchanged between a number of different organizations, or between different systems belonging to the same organization. Key interfaces include the following: — Between public transport vehicle control centres – generally, for fleet and network management. — Between a control centre and an information provision system – generally, to provide operational information for presentation to the public. — Between information provision systems – generally, sharing information to ensure that publicly available information is complete and comprehensive. — Between information provision systems – and data aggregation systems that collect and integrate data from many different sources and different types of data supplier and then distribute it onwards. — Between information provision systems and passenger information devices such as mobile phones, web browsers, etc. Annex B describes the business context for SIRI in more detail. SIRI is intended for wide scale, distributed deployment by a wide variety of installations. In such circumstances it is often not practical to upgrade all the systems at the same time. SIRI therefore includes a formal versioning system that allows for the concurrent operation of different levels at the same time and a disciplined upgrade process. In this general framework, SIRI defines a specific set of concrete functional services. The services separate the communication protocols from the message content (‘functional services’). This allows the same functional content to be exchanged using different transport mechanisms, and different patterns of exchange. Figure 1 below shows this diagrammatically. 1.1.2 SIRI communications SIRI provides a coherent set of functional services for exchanging data for different aspects of PT operation. A common data model, based on Transmodel 5.1, is used across all services. SIST EN 15531-1:2015



EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 8
Figure 1 — Structure of SIRI: a set of optional service interface specifications using a common communications layer A communication layer defines common procedures for the requesting and exchanging of data. Within SIRI, the same general communication protocols are used for all the different concrete functional interfaces, and specify a common infrastructure for message referencing, error handling, reset behaviour and so forth. The communications layer is defined in Part 2 of the SIRI document set. To allow the most efficient use to be made of bandwidth and processing capacity, the SIRI communications architecture supports several different patterns of interaction. SIRI supports both request/response and publish/subscribe protocols between servers, allowing applications both to pull or to push data. The SIRI publish/subscribe pattern of interaction follows the paradigm described in the W3C candidate standard ‘Publish-Subscribe Notification for Web Services (WS-PubSub)’. SIRI uses the same separation of concerns, and a similar terminology for Publish/Subscribe concepts as is used in WS-PubSub. For the delivery of data in response to both requests and subscriptions, SIRI supports two common patterns of message exchange as realized in existent national systems: — one-step ‘direct’ delivery: allowing the simple rapid delivery of data; — two-step ‘fetched’ delivery: allowing a more optimized use of limited resources. 1.1.3 SIRI functional services SIRI provides specific protocols for the following functional services, defined in Part 3 of the SIRI document set: — Production Timetable (PT) Service: to send daily information on the operational timetable and associated vehicle running information. SIST EN 15531-1:2015



EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 9 — Estimated Timetable (ET) Service: to send real-time information on timetable, including changes based on the production service and on actual running conditions. — Stop Timetable (ST) Service: to provide a stop-centric view of timetabled vehicle arrivals and departures at a designated stop. — Stop Monitoring (SM) Service: to send real-time arrival & departure information relating to a specific stop. — Vehicle Monitoring (VM) Service: to send real-time information on the movement and predicted movement of vehicles. — Connection Timetable (CT) Service: to send an operational timetable for a service feeding an interchange, in order to inform departing services of the possible need to wait for connecting passengers. — Connection Monitoring (CM) Service: to send real-time information on the running of a service inbound to an interchange, in order to advise departing services of the need to wait for connecting passengers. This can also be used to send real-time information to assist passengers in planning their onward journey following a connection. — General Message (GM) Service: to exchange informative messages between participants. Two additional functional services, are provided as additional parts: — Facilities Management (FM) Service: to exchange information on the current status of facilities such as lifts, escalators or ticketing machines (Part 4). — Situation Exchange (SX) Service: to exchange information messages between identified participants in a standardized structured format suitable for travel information services (Part 5). 1.2 Use of the SIRI standard As a framework standard, it is not necessary for individual systems or specifications to implement the whole of the SIRI standard. Specifically it is intended that individual national bodies may adopt consistent subsets of the standard. However, it should be possible to describe (for those elements of systems, interfaces and specifications which fall within the scope of SIRI): — the aspects of SIRI that they have adopted; — the aspects of SIRI that they have chosen not to adopt. In other words, there is no global statement of which elements are mandatory and which optional (except for key fields which are clearly always mandatory). SIRI is a modular and expandable standard, and the modules included in this version are only a subset of what might potentially be included. Specifically, the current issue of the SIRI specification excludes the following: — interfaces with traffic management systems for traffic light priority; — control action functions, e.g. instructions to a vehicle to change its running; — functionality of actual systems – SIRI only specifies the interfaces between servers, not how they choose to implement it. Since its inception SIRI has been enhanced and extended to meet additional requirements. The potential for SIRI to be expended to encompass additional services will continue to be reviewed in future. SIST EN 15531-1:2015



EN 15531-1:2015 (E) 10 Guidance on the implementation and use of SIRI is not part of the specification. It is a matter for individual users and national groupings to provide advice and guidance on how SIRI may be used in support of local practices. Note also that the SIRI communications layer does not specify the communication bearer technologies to be used. SIRI has been specifically developed to be ‘technology independent’ in this regard, so that local implementations can select the most cost-effective services for their projects. Of course different technologies have different characteristics, and this may have an impact on the way that SIRI is used in practice. For example, the latency (time delay imposed by the communications network) of a service such as public GPRS is much higher than that on a dedicated, broadband fixed link using DSL. Therefore, systems based on GPRS will need to use a much higher value for some or all of the hysteresis parameters. 1.3 Limitations on SIRI and possible future developments The developers of this standard recognize that there is continual development in the business practice of the public transport industry, and that SIRI shall continue to evolve to fulfil its needs. Specifically, there is scope for additional elements to be included in two places: — Communications (SIRI Part 2). New mechanisms of data communication are constantly becoming available, in particular for areas such as information security and data discovery. SIRI is intended to be in line with prevailing information systems industry practice and Part 2 aims to retain flexibility in use of communications technologies. SIRI 2.0 introduces addition transports in form of the Document Literal WSDL and a RESTful presentation of services. — Applications (SIRI Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, etc). This standard is based on a specific set of interfaces, representing a subset of practical needs among participant countries. However, new models of business cooperation may arise which necessitate additional application interface specifications. The current functional services are not intended to be a complete set of interfaces and additional modules might be required in future. — Architectural detail. This standard is based on a very high-level decomposition of public transport operations, and implements only the most common interfaces. This may not fulfil all the needs of an implementer; for example, Scandinavia and the UK both have a relatively high degree of organizational disaggregation, and as a result may need standardization on what would be ‘internal’ interfaces elsewhere in Europe. CEN welcomes input from users of this Standard as to where SIRI needs extension or refinement. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Foreword
This document (prEN 15531-1:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278 “Intelligent
transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede CEN/TS 15531-1:2007.
SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-1:2006) has been a CEN Technical Standard since 2007 and has been widely used in
Europe and elsewhere and proven its usefulness. This document proposes a revised version of SIRI as a full
CEN European Standard, and is currently submitted to the Formal Vote. The revisions proposed are minor
enhancements arising from experience of the deployment of SIRI in many live systems. This document also
clarifies the relationship of SIRI to NeTEx, the new CEN Technical Standard for the XML exchange of Public
Transport Reference data based on the Transmodel CEN European Standard.

This document presents Part 1 of the European Standard known as “SIRI”. SIRI provides a framework for
specifying communications and data exchange protocols for organisations wishing to exchange Real-time
Information (RTI) relating to public transport operations.

The SIRI European Standard is presented in three parts:
 context and framework, including background, scope and role, normative references, terms and
definitions, symbols and abbreviations, business context and use cases (Part 1),
 the mechanisms to be adopted for data exchange communications links (Part 2),
 data structures for a series of individual application interface modules PT, ET, ST, SM, VM, CT, CM, GM
(Part 3).
Two additional parts define additional functional services as CEN Technical Specifications:
 additional data structures for additional application interface module FM (Part 4),
 additional data structures for additional application interface module SX (Part 5).
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://www.siri.org.uk/, along with available guidance on its use,
example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments.
It is recognised that SIRI is not complete as it stands, and from time to time will need to continue to be
enhanced to add additional capabilities. It is therefore intended that a SIRI Management Group should
continue to exist, at European level, based on the composition of SG7.

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; issuing tickets and receipts; providing real-time
information on service running, and so on.
This European Standard specifies a Service Interface for Real-time Information (SIRI) about Public Transport.
It is intended to be used to exchange information between servers containing real-time public transport vehicle
or journey time data. These include the control centres of transport operators and information systems that
utilise real-time vehicle information, for example, to deliver services such as travel information.
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 European Standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service
management:
 Interoperability – the European 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 for real-time vehicle information; (ii) using
common data models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a
consistent a
