CEN/TS 16614-5:2026

Public transport - Network and timetable exchange (NeTEx) - Part 5: Alternative modes exchange format

Publication date:   Apr 16, 2026

Scope

16614 (NeTEx) is composed of a series of standards:
- Part 1: Description of the public transport network topology exchange format.
- Part 2: Description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.
- Part 3: Description of the fare information exchange format.
- Part 4: Description of the passenger information European profile (EPIP).
- Part 5: Description of the alternative modes exchange format.
- Part 6: Description of the accessibility European profile (EPIAP).

The present update concerns Part 3.

All the parts will be updated together, except Part 6 currently under formal vote (a NWI is produced for each Part). This update is done in a similar timeframe as the Transmodel (EN12896) revision, to achieve the best possible consistency.
The updated version of TS 16614 is going to be published as NeTEx v2.

The global updates consist in the following main extensions/enhancements:
- Deck plan allowing for a digitalised representation of spaces and equipment on board vehicles (with considerations of accessibility features),
- Physical layout of compound vehicles (e.g. train composition),
- Multiple minor enhancements, adjustments, and fixes to consider all the feedback from the previous versions of NeTEx, especially in the context of the European Delegated Regulation EU 2017/1926
Consistency and coherences with Transmodel and SIRI and OJP have also been challenged and minor updates are to be integrated in this revision.
