Public transport ‐ Service interface for real‐time information relating to public transport operations ‐ Part 5: Functional service interfaces situation exchange: Situation Exchange

The scope of this WI is to update CEN/TS 15531-5:2011 which describes structured incident model for disruptions to services, in terms that relate directly to the entities of other SIRI services. Incidents can then be directly linked to stops, lines, journeys, etc in two ways: as the cause of disruption or as the result of service problems.
The Incident Monitoring Service is capable of filtering on incident, service and location model attributes.
First implementations of the Situation Exchange Service have revealed a number of improvements and some minor enhancements necessary for a successful and uniform usage of the specification in the future.
The main elements out of this work item will be:
o Prepare an updated edition of the TS as a document
o Update the common XSD of SIRI parts 1-5
The new work item will consider the work of
o PT companies and IT-suppliers in Germany
o PT companies and IT-suppliers in France
o PT companies and IT-suppliers in Sweden
using Situation Exchange Service in their projects.

Javni prevoz - Vmesnik za storitev informiranja v realnem času za potrebe delovanja javnega prevoza - 5. del: Vmesniki funkcijske storitve izmenjave podatkov: Izmenjava podatkov o situaciji

Področje tega WI je posodobitev standarda CEN/TS 15531-5:2011, ki opisuje strukturiran model incidentov za prekinitve storitev v obliki, ki je neposredno povezana s subjekti drugih storitev SIRI. Incidente je mogoče nato povezati neposredno s postajami, linijami, potovanji itd., in sicer na dva načina: kot vzrok za prekinitev ali kot rezultat težav s storitvijo. Storitev za nadzor incidentov omogoča filtriranje po atributih modelov za incident, storitev in lokacijo. Prve uvedbe storitve izmenjave podatkov o situaciji so pokazale številne izboljšave in manjše izboljšanje, potrebno za uspešno in enotno uporabo specifikacije v prihodnosti. Glavni elementi te delovne postavke bodo: o priprava posodobljene izdaje TS v obliki dokumenta, o posodobitev splošne sheme XSD delov SIRI 1–5. V novi delovni postavki bo upoštevano delo o podjetij za javni prevoz ali ponudnikov IT v Nemčiji, o podjetij za javni prevoz ali ponudnikov IT v Franciji, o podjetij za javni prevoz ali ponudnikov IT na Švedskem, pri čemer bo v njihovih projektih uporabljena storitev izmenjave podatkov o situaciji.

Introduction
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation
and widely accessible, accurate passenger information.
Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of
Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardised interfaces, systems can be
implemented as discrete pluggable modules that can be chosen from a wide variety of suppliers in a
competitive market, connecting diverse systems; 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, with a well-
defined, version interface, individual functional modules can be replaced or evolved, without
unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent function.
The SIRI framework is a European Technical Specification that provides a specification for a number of
functional interfaces that allow public transport data of specific types to be exchanged readily using
structured interfaces.
This further Technical Specification specifies an additional SIRI functional service to exchange incident
and event information about disruptions to public transport between servers containing real-time
public transport vehicle or journey time data. These include the control centres of transport operators
as well as information systems that deliver passenger travel information services.
This document describes the SIRI Situation Exchange service, one of a modular set of services for the
exchange of Real-time information. The Situation Exchange service (SIRI-SX) is concerned with the
exchange of planned events and unplanned incident data among systems, including incident capture,
real-time management and dissemination systems. It is an additional functional service based on the
European Technical Specification known as “SIRI” − Service Interface for Real-time Information. SIRI
provides a framework for specifying communications and data exchange protocols for organisations
wishing to exchange Real-time Information (RTI) relating to public transport operations.
The specification for the base SIRI framework on which SIRI-SX is built is presented in three parts:
a) context and framework, including background, scope and role, normative references, terms and
definitions, symbols and abbreviations, business context and use cases (SIRI Part 1: EN 15531-1);
b) the mechanisms to be adopted for data exchange communications links (SIRI Part 2: EN 15531-2);
c) data structures for a series of individual application interface modules (SIRI Part 3: EN 15531-3):
1) Production Timetable (SIRI-PT);
2) Estimated Timetable (SIRI-ET);
3) Stop Timetable (SIRI-ST);
4) Stop Monitoring (SIRI-SM);
5) Vehicle Monitoring (SIRI-VM);
6) Connection Timetable (SIRI-CT);
7) Connection Monitoring (SIRI-CM);
8) General Message (SIRI-GM).
Additional documents are used for additional functional services, to date these are:
— Facilities Management (SIRI-FM) service is used to exchange information on the current status of
facilities such as lifts, escalators or ticketing machines. It provides a short description of the facility
itself, expresses any change to its operational status and specifically the accessibility status for the
disabled or those with special needs people. It provides all the current relevant information relating
to all facilities fulfilling a set of selection criteria (Part 4: CEN/TS 15531-4).
— Situation Exchange (SIRI-SX): this document. The SIRI Situation and Incident Exchange service is
used to exchange information messages between identified participants in a standardised
structured format suitable for travel information services. It enables messages to be sent and to be
revoked (Part 5: CEN/TS 15531-5, this document).
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://www.siri.org.uk/, along with available guidance on its
use, example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments. The SIRI-SX service is
included in version 1.3 of the schema onwards.
1 Scope
The SIRI Situation Exchange service (SIRI-SX) allows the efficient exchange of data about Situations
caused by planned and unplanned incidents and events and is intended to support the use cases
identified in Annex C. Situations are actual or potential perturbations to normal operation of a transport
network. The SIRI-SX service uses the common SIRI communication framework and services which are
described in EN 15531-1 and EN 15531-2 and not repeated in this document.
The Situation Exchange service has a rich Situation model, allowing a structured description of all
aspects of multimodal travel Situations, including cause, scope, effect and rules for distribution to an
audience. The structured values enabling computer based distribution through a wide variety of
channels, and the presentation of data in different formats for different device and different audiences.
The Situation Exchange Service allows the exchange of incident and event information between,
amongst others:
— Control centres;
— Operations Staff;
— Public Information systems;
— Alert systems and personalised alert systems;
— UTMC systems;
— Journey planners;
— AVMS (Automatic Vehicle Management Systems).
SIRI-SX uses a network model based on the CEN Transmodel conceptual model for Public Transport
networks, schedules and operations, along with the CEN Identification of Fixed Objects in Public
Transport (IFOPT) model for describing physical transport interchanges.
The Situation Exchange service is envisaged as a 'back office' capture and exchange service that will
feed other public facing travel information dissemination systems in particular those using the TPEG
format. Transport Protocol Expert Group (TPEG) is a European Broadcasting Union fostered standard
for broadcasting travel data over Digital Assisted Broadcasting (DAB) radio and other channels. TPEG is
maintained by the Traveller Information Services Association (TISA). To this end, the SIRI-SX situation
classification model has been harmonized as far as possible with that of TPEG and DATEX2 so that full
interoperability can be achieved. Uses of structured elements from TPEG, for which translations already
exist in most European languages, also facilitates human readability in different national languages.
Maintaining and improving a harmonization with TPEG will be a continuing objective. In addition to the
TPEG exchangeable content, SIRI-SX messages contain additional structured information which allows
them to be processed in additional ways.
Situation and computer systems and applications are typically distributed, that is information will be
captured on one system and exchanged with others for dissemination and further processing. This
means that a message design is needed that allows the management of the identity of distributed
messages over time and across different systems, so that subsequent updates to a Situation can be
reconciled by different systems over a network, and obsolete messages can be retired automatically.
The SIRI-SX SITUATION model is designed to support the distributed management of Situations.

3.20
Planned event – SIRI-SX
cause of a SITUATION that is known about in advance
Note 1 to entry: It will have a known start and likely end time.
Note 2 to entry: In SIRI-SX this is recorded as an attribute of a general purpose incident description.

Code, Situation Number and Version number
3.29
Scheduled Stop Point – IFOPT & NeTEx
POINT in a VEHICLE JOURNEY where passengers can board or alight from vehicles

of the logical stop point within a scheduled VEHICLE JOURNEY, rather than a physical point in the infrastructure
where boarding and alighting, may take place, for which the terms for specific STOP PLACE COMPONENTS such as
QUAY or BOARDING POSITION are used. Although the same identifiers are often used for both SCHEDULED STOP
POINT and STOP PLACE COMPONENT, a practice which provides significant benefits for data management, they
nonetheless represent distinct concepts. A STOP POINT ASSIGNMENT is used to associate a SCHEDULED STOP
POINT with a STOP PLACE COMPONENT.
3.30
Stop Place – IFOPT & NeTEx
place comprising one or more locations where vehicles may stop and where passengers may board or
leave vehicles or prepare their trip
Note 1 to entry: A STOP PLACE will usually have one or more well-known names.
