Resumen:
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
15531-4/5 and EN 15531-1/2/3 ) 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 Part3 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 Part1 and Part2 and the Fare
Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases
below for the overall scope of Part3. 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.
