UNE-CEN/TS 16614-2:2026

16614 (NeTEx) is composed of a series of standards:

-Part 1: Description of the public transport network topology exchange format.

-Part 2: Description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.

-Part 3: Description of the fare information exchange format.

-Part 4: Description of the passenger information European profile (EPIP).

-Part 5: Description of the alternative modes exchange format.

-Part 6: Description of the accessibility European profile (EPIAP).

The present update concerns Part 2.

All the parts will be updated together, except Part 6 currently under formal vote (a NWI is produced for each Part). This update is done in a similar timeframe as the Transmodel (EN12896) revision, to achieve the best possible consistency.

The updated version of TS 16614 is going to be published as NeTEx v2.

The global updates consist in the following main extensions/enhancements:

-Deck plan allowing for a digitalised representation of spaces and equipment on board vehicles (with considerations of accessibility features),

-Physical layout of compound vehicles (e.g. train composition),

-Multiple minor enhancements, adjustments, and fixes to consider all the feedback from the previous versions of NeTEx, especially in the context of the European Delegated Regulation EU 2017/1926

Consistency and coherences with Transmodel and SIRI and OJP have also been challenged and minor updates are to be integrated in this revisión.

This document presents Part 2 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. As defined by Transmodel, 'Public transport' has to be understood as services advertised and available for use by the general public carried out by any means of transport.

This Technical Specification is made up of six parts defining a single European Standard, 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 case 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 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, 3, 4, 5 and 6 rely on Part 1 and possibly any previous part..

The XML schema can be downloaded from http://netex-cen.eu (or directly from https://github.com/NeTEx-CEN/NeTEx), 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 font and use CamelCase style with no spaces (TypeOfEntity, for example).
