| + | == What is NeTEx? == | ||
| − | NeTEx | + | [[File:NeTEx.png|250px|right|]] |
| − | NeTEx is | + | 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. | ||

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]. |

| − | | | + | |width="150px" style="text-align:center |'''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 [https://data4pt.org/NeTEx/GraphicKit/Documention_of_reduced_XSD.html here]. |

NeTEx overview 🔍
What is NeTEx?
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.
ℹ️ To find out more about the NeTEX data model, visit the NeTEX website.
⚙️ To verify your NeTEx data, use our free validation tool.
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.

| Motus | ✅ | 4Motus is the Fleet Scheduling Management System provided by Pluservice. The application is designed by independent and integrated modules which can be activated according to specific operational needs. One of the latest module created and already available is the generation of NeTEx datasets starting from the operational data collected by public transport operators. For this purpose, Motus receives the input data starting from a GTFS and it is able to enrich these data with further relevant information such as contracts, vehicles. Then Motus transforms these data into the NeTEx Italian profile. Data model: the database is designed according to Transmodel specifications, European reference standard (EN12896) for public transport. |

NeTEx part 5 for 🆕 modes
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 Part 5 is now available as CEN/TS 16614-5:2022 (E)
