What is BS EN 12896-1 - Public transport Transmodel 6.0 about?
The public transport reference data model includes entity definitions for different types of points and links as the building elements of the topological network. Stop points, timing points and route points, for instance, reflect the different roles one point may have in the network definition.
BS EN 12896-1 presents version 6.0 of the European Standard EN 12896, known as “Transmodel”. Transmodel 6.0 is a reference standard which provides a conceptual data model for use by organizations with an interest in information systems for the public transport industry.
BS EN 12896-1 provides you with a framework for defining and agreeing with data models and covers the whole area of public transport operations. BS EN 12896-1 is applied to any framework for information systems within the public transport industry.
