As a user of the standard, attention is drawn to the resources of www.datex2.eu. This web site contains
related software tools and software resources that aid the implementation of CEN/TS 16157 DATEX II.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,

Introduction
This Technical Specification defines a common set of data exchange specifications to support the vision of a
seamless interoperable exchange of traffic and travel information across boundaries, including national,
urban, interurban, road administrations, infrastructure providers and service providers. Standardisation in this
context is a vital constituent to ensure that interoperability, reduction of risk, reduction of the cost base and
promotion of open marketplace objectives are achieved that will lead to many social, economic and
community benefits as a result of more informed travellers, network managers and transport operators.
Delivering European Transport Policy in line with the White Paper issued by the European Commission
requires co-ordination of traffic management and the development of seamless pan European services. With
the aim to support sustainable mobility in Europe, the European Commission has been supporting the
development of information exchange mainly between the actors of the road traffic management domain for a
number of years. In the road sector, DATEX II has been long in fruition, with the European Commission being
fundamental to its development through an initial contract and subsequent co-funding through the Euro-
Regional projects. With this standardisation of DATEX II there is a real basis for common exchange between
the actors of the traffic and travel information sector.
This Technical Specification includes the framework and context for exchanges, the modelling approach, data
content, data structure and relationships and communications specification.
This Technical Specification supports a methodology that is extensible.
The third part of this Technical Specification deals with the publication of situation information. It specifies the
structures and definitions of information that may be exchanged to convey situation information relating to a
road network, both from a road network manager and road user point of view.
The European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that

1 Scope
This Technical Specification (CEN/TS 16157-3) specifies and defines component facets supporting the
exchange and shared use of data and information in the field of traffic and travel.
The component facets include the framework and context for exchanges, the modelling approach, the data
content, the data structure and relationships and the communications specification.
This Technical Specification is applicable to:
 traffic and travel information which is of relevance to road networks (non urban and urban);
 public transport information that is of direct relevance to the use of a road network (e.g. road link via train
or ferry service).
This Technical Specification establishes specifications for data exchange between any two instances of the
following actors:
 Traffic Information Centres (TICs);
 Traffic Control Centres (TCCs);
 Service Providers (SPs).
Use of this Technical Specification may be applicable for use by other actors.
This Technical Specification includes the following types of information content:
 road traffic event information – planned and unplanned occurrences both on the road network and in the
surrounding environment;
 operator initiated actions;
 road traffic measurement data, status data and travel time data;
 travel information relevant to road users, including weather and environmental information;
 road traffic management information and instructions relating to use of the road network.
This part of the CEN/TS 16157 specifies the informational structures, relationships, roles, attributes and
associated data types required for publishing situation traffic and travel information within the DATEX II
framework. This is specified as a DATEX II Situation Publication sub-model which is part of the DATEX II
platform independent model, but this Part excludes those elements that relate to location information which
are specified in CEN/TS 16157-2 and those elements that relate to VMS settings which are specified in Part 4
of CEN/TS 16157 [4].
2 Conformance
The DATEX II platform independent data model of which the Situation Publication sub-model is a part,
corresponds to the Level A model as defined in CEN/TS 16157-1.
Conformance with this Part shall require platform independent models from which platform specific models are
generated to comply with the UML modelling rules defined in CEN/TS 16157-1 and with the following
requirements of this sub-model which are expressed in this part:
 comply with all stipulated minimum and maximum multiplicity requirements for UML elements and
relationships;
 comply with all definitions, types and ordering;
 employ optional elements as specified;
 comply with all expressed constraints.
It should be noted that conformance of a publication service with all the structural requirements stated above
does not necessarily ensure that the informational content of that service will be semantically comprehensible.

7 The Situation Publication model
7.1 Overview of the Situation Publication model
The Situation Publication model shall comprise a number of packages, with the “SituationPublication” package
providing the entry to the model and the subordinate “SituationRecord” package modelling the individual
elements of situations. The “SituationPublication” package shall be one of several packages which are
immediately subordinate to the “PayloadPublication” package and hence forms the top of the hierarchy in the
Situation Publication model. The “SituationRecord” package shall make use of a number of packages from
within the “ReusableClasses” package thus invoking a hierarchy of packages.
Each “SituationPublication” instance shall specify any number of individual situations in the real world, each of
which shall comprise separate, but related, elements which are modelled in DATEX II as “SituationRecords”.
A “SituationRecord” shall be further specialised as being either of type “NonRoadEventInformation”,
“TrafficElement”, “OperatorAction” or “GenericSituationRecord”. The “GenericSituationRecor
