European foreword
This document (EN 12896-3:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 278
“Transmodel”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2017, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by March 2017.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document together with documents EN 12896-1:2016 and EN 12896-2:2016 supersedes
EN 12896:2006.
The series composed of the following documents:
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 1: Common concepts
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 2: Public transport network
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 3: Timing information and vehicle scheduling
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 4: Operations monitoring and control
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 5: Fare management
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 6: Passenger information
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 7: Driver management
Public transport - Reference data model - Part 8: Management information and statistics
Together these create version 6 of the European Standard EN 12896, known as “Transmodel” and thus
replace Transmodel V5.1.
The split into several documents intends to ease the task of users interested in particular functional
domains. Modularisation of Transmodel, undertaken within the NeTEx project, has contributed
significantly to this new edition of Transmodel.
In addition to the eight Parts of this European Standard, an informative Technical Report (Public
transport – Reference data model – Informative documentation) is also being prepared to provide
additional information to help those implementing projects involving the use of Transmodel. It is
intended that this Technical Report will be extended and republished as all the eight parts are
completed.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,

1 Scope
1.1 General scope of the Standard
The main objective of the present standard is to present the reference data model for public transport,
based on:
— the reference data model, EN 12896, known as Transmodel V5.1;
— EN 28701, known as IFOPT;
incorporating the requirements of:
— EN 15531-1 to −3 and CEN/TS 15531-4 and CEN/TS 15531-5, Service interface for real-time
information relating to public transport operations (SIRI);
— CEN/TS 16614-1 and CEN/TS 16614-2, Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx), in particular,
the specific needs for long distance train operation.
A particular attention is drawn to the data model structure and methodology:
— the data model is described in a modular form in order to facilitate the understanding and the use
of the model;
— the data model is entirely described in UML.
In particular, a Reference Data Model kernel is described, referring to the data domain:
— network description: routes, lines, journey patterns, timing patterns, service patterns, scheduled
stop points and stop places.
This part corresponds to the Transmodel V5.1 network description extended by the IFOPT relevant
parts.
Furthermore, the following functional domains are considered:
— timing information and vehicle scheduling (runtimes, vehicle journeys, day type-related vehicle
schedules);
— passenger information (planned and real-time);
— fare management (fare structure, sales, validation, control);
— operations monitoring and control: operating day-related data, vehicle follow-up, control actions;
— management information and statistics (including data dedicated to service performance
indicators);
— driver management:
— driver scheduling (day-type related driver schedules);
— rostering (ordering of driver duties into sequences according to some chosen methods);
— driving personnel disposition (assignment of logical drivers to physical drivers and recording
of driver performance).

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST EN 12896-3:2017
EN 12896-3:2016 (E)
The data modules dedicated to cover most functions of the above domains will be specified.
Several concepts are shared by the different functional domains. This data domain is called “common
concepts”.
1.2 Functional domain description
The different functional domains taken into account in the present standard and of which the data have
been represented as the reference data model are described in “Public transport reference data model -
part 1: Common concepts”.
They are:
— public transport network and stop description;
— timing information and vehicle scheduling;
— passenger information;
— fare management;
— operations monitoring and control;
— management information;
— personnel management: driver scheduling, rostering, personnel disposition.
The aspects of multi-modal operation and multiple operators’ environment are also taken into account.
1.3 Particular scope of this document
The present European Standard entitled “Reference data model for public transport – Part 3: Timing
information and vehicle scheduling” incorporates:
— journey and journey times model: describes the time-related information at the level of vehicle
journeys, i.e. planned timing for the vehicles at day-type level;
— dated journey model: describes the link of the timing information for a single operating day and the
day type related timing;
— passing times model: describes all the different types of passing times for the day type related
information;
— vehicle service model: describes the information related the work of vehicles as planned for days
types. it constitutes the main part of the vehicle scheduling data domain;
— vehicle journey assignment model: describes operational assignments (advertised vehicle labels,
stopping positions) related to particular vehicle journeys.
This document itself is composed of the following parts:
— main document (normative) representing the data model;
— Annex A (normative), containing the data dictionary and attributes tables, i.e. the list of all the
concepts present in the main document together with the definitions;
— Annex B (informative), indicating the data model evolutions.

5 Timing information and vehicle scheduling data domain
5.1 Introduction
The work of the vehicles necessary to provide the service offer advertised to the public consists of
service journeys and dead runs (unproductive journeys are necessary to transfer vehicles where they
are needed, mainly from the depot into service and vice versa). Vehicle journeys are defined for day
types rather than individual operating days. A day type is a classification of all operating days for which
the same service offer has been planned. The whole tactical planning process is seen on the level of day
types in the reference data model, with all entities necessary to develop schedules. These include a
series of entities describing different types of run times and wait times, scheduled interchanges,
turnaround times etc.
Chaining vehicle journeys into blocks of vehicle operations, and cutting driver duties from the vehicle
blocks, are parts of the main functions of vehicle scheduling and driver scheduling, respectively. The
corresponding entities and relationships included in the reference data model allow a comprehensive
description of the data needs associated with this functionality, independently of the particular
methods and algorithms applied by the different software systems.

5.2 Overview
5.2.1 Model and document structure
The timing information model is splits into four main sub-models defined as UML packages.
— Journey and journey times model: describes the time-related information at the level of vehicle
journeys, i.e. planned timing for the vehicles at day-type level. It splits into:
— vehicle journey model;
— service journey model;
— time demand times model;
— journey timing model ;
— journey pattern times model;
— vehicle journey times model;
— interchange model;
— interchange rule model;
— coupled journey model;
— flexible service model;
— journey accounting model;
— dated journey model: describes the link of the timing information for a single operating day and the
day type related timing;
— passing times model: describes all the different types of passing times for the day type related
information;
— vehicle service model: describes the information related the work of vehicles as planned for days
types. It constitutes the main part of the vehicle scheduling data domain.
5.3 Journey and journey times
5.3.1 Vehicle journey
5.3.1.1 VEHICLE JOURNEY – Conceptual model
5.3.1.1.1 General
The daily operation of a vehicle is described by VEHICLE JOURNEYs. A VEHICLE JOURNEY is the defined
movement of a vehicle using a specified JOURNEY PATTERN on a particular ROUTE. This movement is
made between the first and the last POINTs IN JOURNEY PATTERN. Being defined for a DAY TYPE (cf.
[7]), a VEHICLE JOURNEY is a class of journeys that would take place at the same time on each day of a
specific DAY TYPE.

5.3.1.1.2 Basic vehicle journey – Conceptual model
There are two different main types of VEHICLE JOURNEYs: passenger-carrying SERVICE JOURNEYs and
non-service DEAD RUNs.
— A SERVICE JOURNEY is a VEHICLE JOURNEY on which passengers will be allowed to board or alight
from vehicles at stops. These journeys are usually published and known by passengers.
— A DEAD RUN may be necessary for the vehicle to proceed from the PARKING POINT (cf. [7]) at
which it was parked to the first SCHEDULED STOP POINT of the JOURNEY PATTERN (cf. [8]) where
it will start its service operation. In the opposite direction, a DEAD RUN may relate the last
SCHEDULED STOP POINT the vehicle has stopped at (finishing its service) to the PARKING POINT
where it will be parked. A DEAD RUN may also occur when a vehicle changes from one ROUTE (cf.
[8]) to another one in order to continue its service there, or for various other reasons.

5.3.1.2 Vehicle journey notice assignment
For passenger information (or sometimes driver information) purposes, it is often useful to attach
remarks to various parts of the supply (a point, a line, a section, etc.). For instance, the fact that a
shortened journey pattern is used exceptionally may be emphasized. Such remarks are usually printed
as footnotes on public timetables at stops, timetable booklets or, for driver information, on driver cards.
The entity NOTICE (cf. [7]). describes such remarks. It may concern a whole LINE, or a GROUP OF
POINTS, e.g. one or several STOP AREAs.
More frequently, a NOTICE will be assigned to a JOURNEY PATTERN, a COMMON SECTION (cf. [8]), or
even a specific VEHICLE JOURNEY. In such a case, the same NOTICE often will be assigned to several
objects (e.g. to several consecutive VEHICLE JOURNEYs).
Moreover, the validity of a NOTICE, for instance on a JOURNEY PATTERN or a COMMON SECTION, may
be restricted from a POINT IN JOURNEY PATTERN, or to another POINT IN JOURNEY PATTERN.
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST EN 12896-3:2017
EN 12896-3:2016 (E)
The entity NOTICE ASSIGNMENT (cf. [8]) describes these spatial or operational assignments. Only the
most frequent assignments are represented in the model. Other may be added using the same
construction.
A NOTICE ASSIGNMENT may be subject to various other conditions of validity (such as DAY TYPE, TIME
BAND), represented by VALIDITY CONDITIONs.
A NOTICE has a different meaning than a DESTINATION DISPLAY (cf. [8]). The first is designed to
specify some characteristics of a journey or a journey pattern which are likely to evolve. They are in
most cases printed in leaflets, but may also be queried by dynamic trip planning tools. A DESTINATION
DISPLAY corresponds to stable information attached to a JOURNEY PATTERN, for instance the
destination announcement displayed on bus headsigns.

A SERVICE JOURNEY is a VEHICLE JOURNEY on which passengers will be allowed to board or alight
from vehicles at stops. There are several different possible ways to define SERVICE JOURNEYs, in
particular the two following:
— as the service between an origin and a destination, as advertised to the public;
— as the longest service during which a passenger is allowed to stay on the same vehicle.
