'''NeTEx''' has been developed under the aegis of CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and is the most recent development stage in over fifteen years work to systemise and harmonize European passenger information data.
= NeTEx overview 🔍 =
== What is NeTEx? ==


NeTEx provides a means to exchange data for passenger information such as stops, routes timetables and fares, among different computer systems, together with related operational data. It can be used to collect and integrate date from many different stakeholders, and to reintegrate it as it evolves through successive versions.
[[File:NeTEx.png|250px|right|]]


NeTEx is intended to be a general purpose XML format, designed for the efficient, updateable exchange of complex transport data among distributed systems. This allows the data to be used in modern web services architectures and to support a wide range of passenger information and operational applications.
NeTEx (Network Exchange format) is a standard for exchanging public transport network, schedules, and related data. It is a general-purpose XML format designed for the efficient exchange of complex transport data among distributed systems.


To find out more about the '''NeTEX data model''', visit the [http://netex-cen.eu/ NeTEX website].
It has been developed under the aegis of CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and is the most recent development stage in over fifteen years work to systemise and harmonize European passenger information data.


=NeTEx-Light  =
NeTEx can be used to collect and integrate data from many different stakeholders, and to reintegrate it as it evolves through successive versions. It is used by public transport operators and IT providers across Europe to support a wide range of passenger information and operational applications.
[[File:NeTEx EPIP reduced XSD.png|right|thumb|link=https://data4pt.org/NeTEx/GraphicKit/Documention_of_reduced_XSD.html|Graphic and interactive technical presentation NeTEx Light (reduced XSD)]]The normative NeTEx schema could be considered very big and extensive. Code generation tools for C# have difficulties with processing it. In order to use NeTEx within C# this derived XSD was created. This schema should be used informative, for application development, but not for validation purposes. This schema has been reduced to only match the scope of the EPIP Profile (European Passenger Information Profile) but remains compliant with the main NeTEx Schema.


The '''graphic interactive technical presentation''' and the technical artefacts are available [https://data4pt.org/NeTEx/GraphicKit/Documention_of_reduced_XSD.html here].
== Benefits of using NeTEx ==


=NeTEx EPIP =
NeTEx offers a number of benefits, including:
[[File:NeTEx EPIP XSD.png|right|thumb|link=https://data4pt.org/NeTEx/GraphicKit/Documention_of_XSD_for_EPIP.html|Graphic and interactive technical presentation NeTEx XSD for EPIP]]
Ideally, all member states will provide NeTEx files according to the European Passenger Information Profile (EPIP) on their respective National Access Point. Data4PT provides some artefacts to '''simplify''' producing and quality assure such information.
EPIP-adapted version of the full NeTEx XML schema has been produced.
* Browse the '''graphic and interactive''' technical presentation and download the relevant artefacts and available example [https://data4pt.org/NeTEx/GraphicKit/Documention_of_XSD_for_EPIP.html here].


<div style="overflow: hidden">
* '''Flexibility''': NeTEx can be used to represent a wide range of public transport data, including networks, schedules, fares, and real-time information.
= National profiles =
* '''Extensibility''': NeTEx can be extended to support new types of data and functionality.
A number of National and international profiles have already been defined for different European countries and more are under development. In the following table, DATA4PT provides an overview of the key characteristics of the national profiles per country, including the data categories that are currently covered by each one of the profiles. The table will be continuously update following new implementations.
* '''Interoperability''': NeTEx is a standard format, which means that data can be exchanged between different systems without the need for custom development.
* '''Support for modern web services architectures''' : NeTEx can be used to develop modern, web-based passenger information and operational applications.


''*Data categories are identified based on MMTIS EU Regulation 1926/2017''
== Examples of NeTEx in use ==


<nowiki>**</nowiki> European Passenger Information Profile
NeTEx is used in a variety of ways across the public transport industry. For example:


<nowiki>***</nowiki> European Passenger Information Accessibility Profile   
*'''Passenger information''': NeTEx can be used to provide real-time arrival and departure information to passengers, generate timetables and journey planners, and develop mobile apps for passengers.
*'''Operational applications''': NeTEx can be used to manage fleet operations, integrate public transport data with other systems, such as traffic management systems and navigation apps, and support planning and analysis.

If you believe that your use cases are resolved in an existing profile, it is highly recommended to adopt an existing solution and cooperate with the corresponding entity. You will save resources while you will ensure that your profile is interoperable. It follows a list with links to the relevant documentation for each one the available profiles <ref>https://github.com/nick-knowles/NeTEx/wiki/NationalProfiles</ref>, where you can also find contact details for some of the entities responsible for the profiles. Otherwise you can contact us in [https://data4pt-project.eu/requests-requirements/ DATA4PT].  
NeTEx Part 5 is an extension to the NeTEx data exchange format that is specifically designed for publishing data about "alternative modes" of transportation, such as car sharing, cycle sharing, carpooling, and car/cycle rental. It is primarily oriented towards static data, such as the service that is offered and the associated infrastructure.

=NeTEx software / tools=
General purpose XML tools can be used to work with the NeTEx XML schema and XML documents that conform to it, for example either the proprietary [http://www.altova.com/xmlspy.html XML SPY] , or [http://www.oxygenxml.com/ Oxygen] or see free tools at http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/xmltools/. A wide variety of mainstream XML tools are available to validate XML and to create bindings to specific programming languages (.NET, Java, PHP, C++).<ref>http://netex-cen.eu/?page_id=258</ref>
 
To look at the design models, an interactive UML viewer such as [http://www.sparxsystems.com/ Enterprise Architect] is extremely helpful, although a set of static web pages is also available. Sample mappings to a variety of national formats (VDV, BISON, etc) as well as GTFS have been developed and are included in the NeTEx standard.<ref>http://netex-cen.eu/?page_id=258</ref>
 
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.

NeTEx overview 🔍

What is NeTEx?

NeTEx.png

NeTEx (Network Exchange format) is a standard for exchanging public transport network, schedules, and related data. It is a general-purpose XML format designed for the efficient exchange of complex transport data among distributed systems.

It has been developed under the aegis of CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and is the most recent development stage in over fifteen years work to systemise and harmonize European passenger information data.

NeTEx can be used to collect and integrate data from many different stakeholders, and to reintegrate it as it evolves through successive versions. It is used by public transport operators and IT providers across Europe to support a wide range of passenger information and operational applications.

Benefits of using NeTEx

NeTEx offers a number of benefits, including:

  • Flexibility: NeTEx can be used to represent a wide range of public transport data, including networks, schedules, fares, and real-time information.
  • Extensibility: NeTEx can be extended to support new types of data and functionality.
  • Interoperability: NeTEx is a standard format, which means that data can be exchanged between different systems without the need for custom development.
  • Support for modern web services architectures : NeTEx can be used to develop modern, web-based passenger information and operational applications.

Examples of NeTEx in use

NeTEx is used in a variety of ways across the public transport industry. For example:

  • Passenger information: NeTEx can be used to provide real-time arrival and departure information to passengers, generate timetables and journey planners, and develop mobile apps for passengers.
  • Operational applications: NeTEx can be used to manage fleet operations, integrate public transport data with other systems, such as traffic management systems and navigation apps, and support planning and analysis.

NeTEx European Passenger Information Profile 🇪🇺

Description Documentation
NeTEx EPIP Ideally, all member states will provide NeTEx files according to the European Passenger Information Profile (EPIP) on their respective National Access Point. Data4PT provides some artefacts to simplify producing and quality assure such information. EPIP-adapted version of the full NeTEx XML schema has been produced. Browse the graphic and interactive technical presentation and download the relevant artefacts and available example here.
NeTEx EPIP Light The official NeTEx schema is too large and complex for C# code generation tools to handle, so a simplified version was created for application development. This schema has been reduced to only match the scope of the EPIP Profile (European Passenger Information Profile). It is compliant with the main NeTEx schema, but does not contain constraint checks and should not be used for validation. The graphic interactive technical presentation and the technical artefacts are available here.


Software & tools 🧰

An ecosystem of NeTEx XML tools is under development, including both open-source and commercial products.

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.
