CEN/TS 17370:2026

Public transport - Operating raw data and statistics exchange

Publication date:   May 28, 2026

Scope

This project proposal addresses:
• the development of a data exchange format, based on Transmodel (EN12896) and NeTEx (CEN/TS 16614), focused on a minimum set of Public Transport raw data needed for quantitative analysis in public transport services. For instance, the elaboration of standardized operational data (e.g., observed run times, passenger load) collected during service operations is an input for strategic planning (e.g., how and when to amend the schedules), tactical planning (e.g., when to undertake a certain control action), quality follow-up, etc.
• the development of a glossary for public transport aiming at assigning to each concept used in Public Transport, a unique “standard” term.
This project proposal develops a data exchange format and API, that will be documented in a Technical Specification (TS) focusing on the exchange of a minimum set of Public Transport raw data needed for quantitative analysis in public transport services.
The exchange protocol format will be based on NeTEx standard, in particular:
• CEN/TS 16614-1:2020 Network topology;
• CEN/TS 16614-2:2020 Scheduled Timetables;
Raw data identification and description will be compliant with Transmodel (EN 12896), with particular emphasis on Data Dictionary description and Part 8 Management Information Statistics.
OpRa will also develop a Public Transport unified glossary to harmonised terms and definitions from existing data dictionaries.
