Public transport - Service interface for real-time information relating to public transport operations - Part 4: Functional service interfaces: Facility monitoring
Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI) is a specification for an interface that allows systems running computer applications to exchange information about the planned, current or projected performance of the public transport operations.
The scope of this WI is to update CEN/TS 15531-4:2015 which allows pairs of server computers to exchange structured real-time information about schedules, vehicles, and connections, together with general informational messages related to the operation of the services. The information can be used for many different purposes, for example:
• To provide real time-departure from stop information for display on stops, internet and mobile delivery systems;
• To provide real-time progress information about individual vehicles;
• To manage the movement of buses roaming between areas covered by different servers;
• To manage the synchronisation of guaranteed connections between fetcher and feeder services;
• To exchange planned and real-time timetable updates;
• To distribute status messages about the operation of the services;
• To provide performance information to operational history and other management systems.
Implementations SIRI have revealed a number of improvements and some minor enhancements necessary for a successful and uniform usage of the specification in the future.
The main elements out of this work item will be:
o Prepare an updated edition of the TS as a document
o Update the common XSD of SIRI parts 1-5
The new work item will consider the projects of
o PT companies and IT-suppliers especially in Switzerland, Germany, France, Netherlands and Sweden
o Railway traffic
o accessibility in public transport

Javni prevoz - Vmesnik za storitev informiranja v realnem času za potrebe delovanja javnega prevoza - 4. del: Vmesniki funkcijske storitve - Nadzorovanje storitev in opreme
Vmesnik za storitev informiranja v realnem času (SIRI) je specifikacija za vmesnik, ki sistemom, v katerih se izvajajo računalniške aplikacije, omogoča izmenjavo informacij o načrtovanem, trenutnem ali predvidenem poteku javnega prevoza.
Področje uporabe tega dokumenta WI je posodobitev standarda CEN/TS 15531-4:2015, ki parom strežniških računalnikov omogoča izmenjavo strukturiranih informacij v realnem času o voznih redih, vozilih in povezavah, skupaj s splošnimi informativnimi sporočili, povezanimi z delovanjem storitev. Podatke je mogoče uporabiti za različne namene, na primer za:
• zagotavljanje informacij o dejanskem času odhoda s postajališča, ki so prikazane na postajališčih, v internetu in mobilnih sistemih za dostavo;
• zagotavljanje informacij o poti posameznih vozil v realnem času;
• upravljanje poti avtobusov med območji, ki jih pokrivajo različni strežniki;
• upravljanje sinhronizacije zajamčenih povezav med storitvami pridobivanja in podajanja;
• izmenjavo načrtovanih in sprotnih posodobitev voznega reda;
• distribucijo statusnih sporočil o delovanju storitev;
• zagotavljanje informacij o učinkovitosti za operativno zgodovino in druge sisteme upravljanja.
Izvedbe vmesnika SIRI razkrivajo številne izboljšave in nekatere podrobnosti, potrebne za uspešno in enotno uporabo specifikacije v prihodnosti.
Glavni elementi teh popravkov bodo:
• priprava posodobljene izdaje tehnične specifikacije kot dokumenta;
• posodobitev skupnega XSD-ja delov vmesnika SIRI 1–5.
Nova delovna postavka bo obravnavala projekte:
• PT-podjetij in IT-dobaviteljev, zlasti v Švici, Nemčiji, Franciji, na Nizozemskem in Švedskem,
• železniškega prometa,
• dostopnosti v javnem prometu.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15531-4:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278 “Road
transport and traffic telematics”, 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 15531-4:2011.
SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-1:2007) has been a CEN Technical Specification since 2007 and a European
normative standard since 2013 and has been widely used in Europe and elsewhere and proven its
usefulness. This document proposes a revised version of SIRI as a 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 CEN Technical Standard for the XML exchange of Public Transport Reference data based on
the Transmodel CEN European Standard.
The SIRI Facility Monitoring service (SIRI-FM) is an additional service, part 4, based on the European
Technical Specification known as “SIRI” − Service Interface for Real-time Information. 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 https://github.com/SIRI-CEN/SIRI, guidance on its use,
example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments is located at http://siri-cen.eu/.
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.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the

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 document 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 document 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.
SIRI includes a Simple Web Services “SIRI-LITE” as an additional transport method and a WSDL
document literal version and a WSDL2 version.
Version 2.1 of SIRI was developed in 2020/21 to address lessons from the now widespread
implementation of SIRI.
The changes in SIRI version 2.1 include:
— remove the direct relationship with TPEG and other standards to enable support as the other
standards change;
— support for new modes in line with TRANSMODEL and NeTEx;
— support for the Reason / Effect / Advice structure for disruptions in SIRI SX;
— increased granularity for occupancy data and Vehicle structures;
— improved subscription renewal options and filtering options;
— additional options and flexibility for STOP POINTS and relationships between journeys;
— migration of XSD to Github to improve access and change control processes.
Compatibility with previous versions
All changes in version 2.1 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 2.1 schema
without alteration (other than to schema version numbers), and version 2.1 documents that do not use
new features will validate against earlier versions. Version 2.1 documents that use new features will not
be backwards compatible.
The SIRI Facility Monitoring (SIRI-FM) service defined in this document enables the exchange of
information on the current status of facilities. It provides a short description of the facility itself, the
availability status and specifically the impact of the availability status for various categories of disabled
or incapacitated people. The service provides all the current relevant information relating to all
facilities fulfilling a set of selection criteria. Both query and publish subscribe interactions are
supported. Initially released in 2007, was enhanced in 2011 and has been again in 2021 the latest
update providing generic counting information to fulfil, amongst other services, the needs of new
modes of transport (vehicle sharing, vehicle pooling, etc.).

1 Scope
This document specifies an additional SIRI functional service to exchange information about changes to
availability of facilities, between monitoring systems and servers containing real-time public transport
vehicle or journey time data. These include the control centres of transport operators, as well as
information systems that deliver passenger travel information services. As for Transmodel, public
transport modes include new modes of transport (vehicle sharing, vehicle pooling, etc.).
This document describes the SIRI Facility Monitoring service, one of a modular set of services for the
exchange of Real-time information. The Facility Monitoring service (SIRI-FM) is concerned with the
exchange of information about alterations to the availability of facilities for passengers among systems,
including equipment monitoring, real-time management and dissemination systems.

CEN/TS 15531-4:2021 (E)
The status data needed for Facility Monitoring is provided by collecting the status of the facilities on the
network. This can be achieved either through manual data capture (an individual checks the status of
the facilities in situ, and reports them using a customised software interface), or using an automated
monitoring system with sensors to detect the equipment status. In both cases, the monitored data are
sent to the real-time data server through a SIRI service link. Monitored facilities can be any facility on
the network (mainly stop points, stop places, sites, etc.), on connection links or on vehicles, for example:
— lifts;
— escalators;
— wheel chair access;
— passenger information devices;
— ticket machine;
— boarding human assistance;
— etc. (see the Facility Feature in Table 1 for a more detailed list).
When several providers are available, all the data flows are merged into a single real-time service. The
resulting real-time data set is then available to all downstream systems through a single SIRI-FM access
point. A large set of potential user systems can be considered:
a) passenger information displays;
b) system providing information for the staff (on board, on stations, on call centres, etc.);
c) passenger information system, possibly including a journey planner, and providing information
through:
1) web access;
2) mobile phone access;
3) specific devices for mobility restricted people;
4) etc.
5.3 Examples of Service Function
Data from the Facility Monitoring service is useful for many different passenger information services.
For example:
a) the use of facility disruption information (for instance “lift broken affecting wheel chair access on a
connection link”) in a journey planner. This has to be related to the time of the intended journey vis
a vis the start and stop time (or expected stop time) of the disruption. Some disruptions may be
planned, other may be unex
