= 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 inventory ==
== What can SIRI be used for? ==
National profiles are specified to cover the national needs. To help implementation, DATA4PT is also 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, including an overview of data categories that are currently covered. For data categories relevant to static data check the [[NeTEX#Profiles inventory|NeTEx Profiles Inventory]].

⚠️ 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.
 
📄 You can also find contact details for some of the entities responsible for the profiles in the documentation list. Otherwise you can contact us in [https://data4pt-project.eu/requests-requirements/ DATA4PT].

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

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

SIRI National and EU minimum profiles inventory 🌐

National profiles are specified to cover the national needs. To help implementation, DATA4PT is also 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, including an overview of data categories that are currently covered. For data categories relevant to static data check the [NeTEx Profiles Inventory https://data4pt.org/w/index.php?title=NeTEX#NeTEx_national_and_EU_minimum_profiles_inventory].

⚠️ If you believe that your use cases are resolved in an existing profile, it is highly recommended to adopt an existing solutionand cooperate with the corresponding entity. You will save resources while you will ensure that your profile is interoperable.

📄 You can also find contact details for some of the entities responsible for the profiles in the documentation list. Otherwise you can contact us in DATA4PT.

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

Description
NeTEx extension for New Modes Scope and overview
Canonical mapping with GBFS The EU-funded project DATA4PT and MobilityData experts have released a high-level mapping between the General Bikeshare Feed Specification (GBFS) and Transmodel to support better interoperability of shared mobility data feeds.
