Public transport - Network and timetable exchange (NeTEx) - Part 6: European Passenger Information Accessibility Profile
The Technical Specification will define a public transport accessibility exchange format, in order to allow integration of this information into multimodal travel services (e.g. trip planning systems)
The TS will provide detailed guidelines to extend the minimal profile (NeTEx part 4) to encompass all necessary information for accessibility.
It will provide all necessary information:
• For StopPlace (including navigation within a StopPlace between associated StopPlaces and a
StopPlace and its environment, also Facilities, Equipments)
• For the Vehicle (VehicleTypes and Vehicles)
• For the interaction between Vehicle and StopPlace/Quay/BoardingPosition
The TS will also provide guidance for the usage of SIRI and OJP and the WI will if necessary create the change requests for those standards.
The TS will provide a minimal set of accessibility data that is mandatory and contains an unambiguous description of all other relevant accessibility information to a level needed in some countries (e.g. in France and Germany).
The TS will reference relevant use cases and also provides guidelines for the processes.
The TS will take into account existing work (will be referenced in the bibliography. The TS will however not be based on it). E.g.

Javni prevoz - Izmenjava omrežnih in voznorednih podatkov (NeTEx) - 6. del: Evropski profil za dostopnost potovalnih informacij
V tej tehnični specifikaciji bo opredeljen format za izmenjavo podatkov o dostopnosti javnega prevoza, ki bo omogočil vključitev teh informacij v večmodalne potovalne storitve (npr. sisteme za načrtovanje potovanj).
Tehnična specifikacija bo zagotovila podrobne smernice za razširitev minimalnega profila (NeTEx 4. del), da bo vključeval vse potrebne informacije za dostopnost.
Zagotovljene bodo vse potrebne informacije:
• za postajališče – StopPlace (vključno z navigacijo znotraj postajališča, med več povezanimi postajališči ter med
postajališčem in njegovo okolico, vključno z objekti – Facilities in opremo – Equipments);
• za vozilo (vrste vozil – VehicleTypes in vozila – Vehicles);
• za interakcijo med vozilom – Vehicle in postajališčem/pomolom/položajem za vkrcanje – StopPlace/Quay/BoardingPosition.
Tehnična specifikacija bo zagotovila tudi informacije za uporabo standardov SIRI in OJP, dokument WI pa bo po potrebi oblikoval zahteve za spremembo teh standardov.
Tehnična specifikacija bo zagotovila najmanjši skupek podatkov o dostopnosti, ki je obvezen in vsebuje nedvoumen opis vseh drugih ustreznih informacij o dostopnosti do ravni, ki je potrebna v nekaterih državah (npr. v Franciji in Nemčiji).
Tehnična specifikacija se bo sklicevala na ustrezne primere uporabe in podala tudi smernice za postopke.
Tehnična specifikacija bo upoštevala obstoječe delo (sklici bodo navedeni v poglavju »Viri in literatura«), vendar ne bo temeljila na njem. Npr.

This document presents Part 6 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 document is made up of six 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, 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 4 is the description of the European passenger information profile.
— Part 5 is the description of the alternative modes exchange format.
— Part 6 is the description of the European passenger information accessibility profile.
Part 1 is fully standalone, and Parts 2 and 3, 4, 5 and 6 rely on Part 1. Part 6 also relies on Part 4.

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, and so on.
This document specifies a Profile of Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) for public transport.
NeTEx is intended to be used to exchange information between public transport organisation systems
containing mostly scheduled public transport data. It can also be seen as a complement to the SIRI
(Service Interface for Real-time Information) standard (the EN 15531 series), as SIRI needs reference
data exchanged in the scope of NeTEx before any possible real-time exchange.
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
increasingly large and dynamic systems. Furthermore, individual functional modules can be replaced or
evolved, without unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent functions.
NeTEx improves 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:
introducing common architectures for message exchange;
introducing a modular set of compatible information services for real-time vehicle
information;
using common data models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service;
introducing a consistent approach to data management.
• Technical advantages include the following: reusing a common communication layer shared with SIRI
for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and makes the standard
readily extensible in the future.
A profile is an ancillary document to the standard which specifies additional rules for implementation in
a given context. The profile contains information such as:
• Details of the objects used in an exchange.
• Details on the options proposed by the standard.
• Details on optional elements.
• Precision on the identifier codes to be used.
• Advice on grouping elements.
The reason for having a detailed profile specification is that it facilitates implementation. A developer
intending to implement a certain service or type of service in a given environment need only implement
the smaller set of options and parameters specified in the profile and is given a number of additional rules
that restrict or simplify the required processing of data.
1 Scope
This document is a profile of the CEN/TS 16614 series. It focuses on information relevant to feed the
necessary accessibility passenger information services and excludes operational and fares information.
It is based directly on EPIP (CEN/TS 16614-4).
This European Passenger Information Accessibility Profile (EPIAP) for NeTEx is for exchanging
passenger information; it describes how to extend EPIP (the European Passenger Information Profile)
with additional information (including a minimal set) to feed the necessary accessibility passenger
information services in a European wide and multimodal context. EPIAP especially formulates a
mandatory minimal implementation that needs to be filled in by everybody to deliver the necessary
information for an assessment of the accessibility of site(s), vehicles and on vehicle-site interaction for
impaired persons. The minimal level allows an assessment and contains the information to produce PRM
TSI if necessary. It will also cover what the current legislation usually warrants. It then describes how
additional information must be provided if an organisation decides to provide it (e.g. the information of
the full DELFI+ standard in Germany).
EPIP does not reflect part 5 (New Modes) yet. However, EPIAP takes it into account. EPIP will have to be
adapted accordingly.
For EPIAP to be of use, the EC needs to declare the minimal level of EPIAP as mandatory.
