= SIRI overview =
SIRI was established as European standard in October 2006. It is a CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and Technical Standard that specifies a European interface standard for exchanging information about the planned, current or projected performance of real-time public transport operations between different computer systems.


SIRI 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:

== What is SIRI? ==


*To provide real time-departure from stop information for display on stops, internet and mobile delivery systems;
SIRI is a European standard that enables '''real-time information''' about public transportation to be shared between different '''computer systems'''. It is used by many different organizations, including public transportation operators, traffic management agencies, and travel information providers.
*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.

== SIRI National and EU minimum profiles ==
== SIRI formats ==
Similarly to NeTEx, National profiles are specified to cover the national needs. To help implementation, DATA4PT also is in process of delivering SIRI EU minimum profile, in collaboration with relevant CEN group. DATA4PT has prepared a table with the currently available SIRI national profiles, as an overview of the data categories and functional scope that they currently cover. Links to the documentation are also provided. NeTEx National Profiles overview is available [[NeTEX#National profiles|here.]]

! Nordic  (Norway,Sweden, Finland, Denmark(?)
*Tracking the progress of individual vehicles
! Portugal
*Managing the movement of buses between different areas

== Benefits of SIRI ==
 
SIRI has made a significant contribution to improving the efficiency and reliability of public transportation across Europe. It is now used by millions of people every day to plan their journeys and get real-time information about the services they are using.
 
For example, SIRI can help you to:
 
*Avoid missing a bus or train
*Plan your journey more efficiently
*Get real-time information about disruptions to services
*Find the best way to travel between different locations

SIRI overview 🔍

What is SIRI?

SIRI is a European standard that enables real-time information about public transportation to be shared between different computer systems. It is used by many different organizations, including public transportation operators, traffic management agencies, and travel information providers.

SIRI was established as European standard in October 2006. It is a CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and Technical Standard

SIRI formats

SIRI is a protocol for data exchange between two IT systems for real-time information. Data can be exchanged via:

  • XML files (over TCP/IP or via SOAP/WSDL)
  • REST/JSON (over HTTP) using SIRI-Lite interface

Note: SIRI-Lite is a subset of SIRI focusing on the most frequently requested information for open data feeds.

What can SIRI be used for?

SIRI can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

  • Providing real-time arrival information at bus stops and train stations
  • Tracking the progress of individual vehicles
  • Managing the movement of buses between different areas
  • Synchronizing connections between different services
  • Exchanging planned and real-time timetable updates
  • Distributing status messages about the operation of services
  • Providing performance information to operational history and other management systems

Benefits of SIRI

SIRI has made a significant contribution to improving the efficiency and reliability of public transportation across Europe. It is now used by millions of people every day to plan their journeys and get real-time information about the services they are using.

For example, SIRI can help you to:

  • Avoid missing a bus or train
  • Plan your journey more efficiently
  • Get real-time information about disruptions to services
  • Find the best way to travel between different locations


ℹ️ To find out more about the SIRI data model, please visit the Transmodel page and SIRI page.


Software & tools 🧰

The following list of software is known to support NeTEx. We distinguish between different categories that may later receive a list of key performance indicators.

XML tools

General purpose XML tools can be used to work with the SIRI XML schema and XML documents that conform to it.

SIRI extension for 🆕 Modes

In line with NeTEx Part 5, corresponding extensions are made in SIRI for real time data such as current number of available vehicles, current number of spaces available to bring back a vehicle or to park, etc. SIRI also provide updates of positions (typically for free floating vehicles). The SIRI Facility Monitoring (FM) service is extended to provide this counted information
