1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is based on Transmodel V6 (EN 12896 series) 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 Many NeTEx concepts are taken directly from Transmodel; the definitions and explanation of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with adaptions 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.
