Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format

1.1   General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4, CEN/TS 15531-5 and EN 15531-1, EN 15531-2, EN 15531-3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE   NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2   Fares scope
This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and Part 2 and the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i)   To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance based fares, stage fares, pay as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii)   To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be complex.
(i)   To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii)   To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.
1.3   Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro, tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements  that apply specifically to air transport.
1.4   Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations
The overall approach for the definition of fares within NeTEx Part 3 follows the approach used by Transmodel V5.1, namely the definition of access rights rather than of just products.
This approach, used in Transmodel V5.1 (Fare Collection data model) to specify the access rights related to the urban public transport (for all urban modes) has been extended to cover access rights for long-distance rail.
NOTE   The concepts from Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT used and/or modified by NeTEx are incorporated into Transmodel V6 to guarantee compatibility and coherence of standards.

Transport public - Echange des données de réseau et d'horaires (NeTEx) - Partie 3 : Format d'échange d'informations voyageurs concernant le réseau de transport public

Javni prevoz - Izmenjava omrežnih in voznorednih podatkov (NeTEx) - 3. del: Format za izmenjavo informacij o vozovnicah

NeTEx je namenjen izmenjavi rednih podatkov (omrežnih in voznorednih informacij ter informacij o vozninah). Temelji na Transmodelu različice 5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) in SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4, CEN/TS 15531-5 in EN 15531-1, EN 15531-2, EN 15531-3) ter podpira izmenjavo za potnike pomembnih informacij o storitvah javnega prevoza in za delovanje avtomatskih nadzornih sistemov za vozila (AVMS).
OPOMBA: NeTEx je izboljšava ter izvedba Transmodela in IFOPT; definicije in razlage teh konceptov so pridobljene neposredno iz zadevnega standarda ter znova uporabljene v standardu NeTEx, včasih s prilagoditvami, da ustrezajo kontekstu standarda NeTEx. Čeprav je izmenjava podatkov NeTEx namenjena predvsem posredovanju podatkov iz sistemov razporedov prevoza informacijskim sistemom za potnike in avtomatskim nadzornim sistemom za vozila, ni omejena le na to dejavnost; NeTEx je lahko učinkovita rešitev v številnih drugih primerih izmenjave podatkov o prevozu.
1.2 Področje uporabe za voznine
Ta 3. del standarda NeTEx posebej obravnava izmenjavo struktur voznin in podatkov o vozninah z uporabo podatkovnih modelov, povezanih z osnovnim modelom omrežja in modelom voznega reda, ki sta določena v 1. in 2. delu, ter z modelom za pobiranje voznine, določenim v Transmodelu različice 5.1. Za celotno področje uporabe 3. dela glej primere uporabe, navedene spodaj. Če povzamemo, so obravnavani podatki za naslednje namene:
(i)    Opis različnih možnih struktur voznin, ki se pojavljajo v javnem prevozu (npr. fiksne voznine, conske voznine, časovno določene voznine, voznine glede na razdaljo, voznine za določeno obdobje, sprotne voznine, sezonske vozovnice itd.).
(ii)   Opis izdelkov voznin, ki se lahko kupijo s temi strukturami voznin, in opis pogojev, ki lahko veljajo za posamezne voznine, na primer veljavnost za določene skupine uporabnikov ali časovne omejitve. Ti pogoji so lahko kompleksni.
(iii)    Zagotovitev izmenjave dejanskih podatkov o cenah. Opomba: NeTEx ne določa algoritmov za določanje cen oziroma načina za izračun voznin. To je domena sistemov upravljanja voznin. Lahko se uporablja za izmenjavo različnih parametrov, potrebnih za izračune cen, s katerimi se pojasnjuje ali upravičuje voznina.
(iv)   Vključitev atributov in besedilnih opisov, potrebnih za predstavitev voznin ter njihovih pogojev prodaje in uporabe javnosti.
NeTEx je treba obravnavati kot »nadgradnjo« sistemov za plačila na drobno, saj omogoča upravljanje podatkov o vozninah ter njihovo integracijo z načrtovanjem poti in omrežnimi podatki v javnih informacijskih sistemih. Ustrezno dopolnjuje in se razlikuje od »nižjih« sistemov za preverjanje vozovnic in plačila na drobno, prek katerih se prodajajo voznine, ter od nadzornih sistemov, ki preverjajo njihovo uporabo. Za več informacij o omejitvah standarda NeTEx v okviru sistemov upravljanja voznin glejte »Izvzeti primeri uporabe« v nadaljevanju.
1.3   Načini transporta
NeTEx upošteva vse načine množičnega javnega prevoza, kar vključuje vlake, avtobuse, potniške vagone, metroje, tramvaje, trajekte in njihove podnačine. Možen je opis letališč, potovanj z letalom in letalskih voznin, vendar dodatne zahteve, ki veljajo posebej za letalski prevoz, niso posebej obravnavane.
1.4   Združljivost z obstoječimi standardi in priporočili
Celoten pristop k določanju voznin v okviru 3. dela standarda NeTEx sledi pristopu, ki ga uporablja Transmodel različice 5.1, in sicer določanje pravic za dostop namesto zgolj izdelkov.
Ta pristop, uporabljen v Transmodelu različice 5.1 (podatkovni model za pobiranje voznine), s katerim se določijo pravice za dostop v zvezi z mestnim javnim prevozom (za vse mestne načine), je bil razširjen tako, da zajema pravice za dostop za medkrajevni železniški prevoz.
OPOMBA: Koncepti iz Transmodela različice 5.1 in IFOPT, ki se uporabljajo in/ali spreminjajo v standardu NeTEx, so vključeni v Transmodel različice 6, s čimer se zagotovita združljivost in ujemanje standardov.

CEN/TS 16614-3:2016 (E)
Introduction
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient
operation and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. These systems are used for a range
of specific purposes: setting schedules and timetables; managing vehicle fleets; publicising fares,
issuing tickets and receipts; providing real-time information on service running, and so on.
The first two parts of the European Technical Specification NeTEx specifies a Network and Timetable
Exchange for Public Transport. It is intended to be used to exchange data relating to scheduled public
transport between the systems of PT organiZations. It can also be seen as complementary to the SIRI
(Service Interface for Real-time Information) standard, as SIRI needs a prior exchange of reference
data from NeTEx’s scope to provide the necessary context for the subsequent exchange of a real-time
data.
This European Technical Specification (NeTex – Part 3) specifies exchanges of Public Transport fares
between systems and organisations. It is a complement to the Parts 1 and 2 in the sense that it uses a
subset of concepts defined there.
Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of
Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardized interfaces, systems can be
implemented as discrete pluggable modules that can be chosen from a wide variety of suppliers in a
competitive market, rather than as monolithic proprietary systems from a single supplier. Interfaces
also allow the systematic automated testing of each functional module, vital for managing the
complexity of increasing large and dynamic systems. Furthermore, individual functional modules can
be replaced or evolved, without unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent function.
This standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service
management: Interoperability – the standard will facilitate interoperability between information
processing systems of the transport operators by: (i) introducing common architectures for message
exchange; (ii) introducing a modular set of compatible information services, (iii) using common data
models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a consistent
approach to data management.
Technical advantages include the following: a modular reusing of a common communication layer
shared with SIRI for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and
makes the standard readily extensible in future.

1 Scope
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is
based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4, CEN/TS
1
15531-5 and EN 15531-1, EN 15531-2, EN 15531-3 ) and supports the exchange of information of
relevance for passenger information about public transport services and also for running Automated
Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and
explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx,
sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by NeTEx
are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS with data from
transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also provide an effective solution
to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data,
using data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and
Part 2 and the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the
overall scope of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for
example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance based fares, stage fares, pay as
you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to
describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to specific
groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify
pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare Management
Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required for pricing
calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their
conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed
and integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is
complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and
of the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information
on the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.
1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro,
tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but
there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically
to air transport.

1.4 Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations
The overall approach for the definition of fares within NeTEx Part 3 follows the approach used by
Transmodel V5.1, namely the definition of access rights rather than of just products.
This approach, used in Transmodel V5.1 (Fare Collection data model) to specify the access rights
related to the urban public transport (for all urban modes) has been extended to cover access rights
for long-distance rail.
NOTE The concepts from Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT used and/or modified by NeTEx are incorporated
into Transmodel V6 to guarantee compatibility and coherence of standards.
Concepts covered in NeTEx Part 1 and 2 that relate in particular to long-distance train travel include;
rail operators and related organizations; stations and related equipment; journey coupling and
journey parts; train composition and facilities; planned passing times; timetable versions and validity
conditions and train routing restrictions.
In the case of long distance train access rights, NeTEx takes into account the requirements
formulated by the ERA (European Rail Agency) – TAP/TSI (Telematics Applications for Passenger/
Technical Specification for Interoperability, entered into force on 13 May 2011 as the Commission
Regulation (EU) No 454/2011), based on UIC directives. The relate in partoiucalr to the B1 (Non
Reservation Tickets), B2 (Integrated Reservation Tickets) and B3 (Special Fares) along with various
UIC Leaflets.
As regards the other exchange protocols for network and timetable exchanges, a formal compatibility
is ensured with TransXChange (UK), VDV 452 (Germany), NEPTUNE (France, BISON (Netherland)
and NOPTIS (Nordic Public Transport Interface Standard).
The exchange of data in NeTEx format can be undertaken using a variety of protocols. For example:
through dedicated web services, through data file exchanges, or by using the SIRI exchange protocol
as described in part 2 of the SIRI documentation. NeTEx adds additional services using the common
SIRI transport mechanism.
