VehicleType

NeTEx separates train engines and carriages from other public transport vehicle types. They are modelled via specific TractiveElementType and TrailingElementType under a different location:

PublicationDelivery/dataObjects/ResourceFrame/trainElementTypes/TractiveElementType|TrailingElementType

However this distinction is not used in the registry data structure. Instead everything is based on VehicleType and further detailed via TransportMode. Carriages can be detected by checking the SelfPropelled property.

A VehicleType builds the foundation of a VehicleModel. It contains relevant properties like the capacity, dimensions, propulsion and the reference to a DeckPlan.

Properties

EuroClass

Euro emission standard classification (e.g., Euro 6).

Example:

<EuroClass>B</EuroClass>

SelfPropelled

Indicates whether the vehicle has independent propulsion capability.

Example:

<SelfPropelled>true</SelfPropelled>

PropulsionType

Propulsion technology(s) used by the vehicle. Multiple values must be separated by spaces.

Values (PropulsionTypeEnumeration):

• combustion
• electric
• electricAssist
• hybrid
• human
• other

Example:

<PropulsionType>hybrid</PropulsionType>

FuelType

Energy source(s) used by the vehicle. Multiple values must be separated by spaces.

Values (FuelTypeEnumeration):

• battery
• biodiesel
• diesel
• dieselBatteryHybrid
• electricContact
• electricity
• ethanol
• hydrogen
• liquidGas
• tpg
• methane
• naturalGas
• petrol
• petrolBatteryHybrid
• petrolLeaded
• petrolUnleaded
• none
• other

Example:

MaximumRange

Maximum operational range in meters on full energy source. System for units can be specified on frame. Default is metres as defined here.

Example:

<MaximumRange>240</MaximumRange>

MaximumVelocity

Maximum design speed in m/s. System for units can be specified on frame. Default is metres per second as defined here.

Example:

<MaximumVelocity>100</MaximumVelocity>

TransportMode

Primary transport mode category according to NeTEx classification.

Values (AllModesEnumeration):

• all
• anyMode
• unknown
• air
• bus
• trolleyBus
• tram
• coach
• rail
• intercityRail
• urbanRail
• metro
• water

• funicular
• lift
• snowAndIce
• taxi
• selfDrive
• foot
• bicycle
• motorcycle
• scooter
• car
• shuttle

Example:

<TransportMode>bus</TransportMode>

DeckPlanRef

A reference to the DeckPlan of this vehicle depicting the entrances, areas, seats and more.

DELFI

• 3010 ↦ Can be generated from the DeckPlan if detailed enough.

Example:

<DeckPlanRef ref="id"/>

capacities

Container for passenger/vehicle capacity specifications.

• PassengerVehicleCapacity: Capacity for transporting other vehicles.
  • VehicleCategory
  • VehicleCapacity
• PassengerCapacity: Passenger capacity by fare class.
  • TotalCapacity: The maximum capacity the vehicle is allowed to carry. This is not necessarily equal to the sum of all sub capacities.
  • SeatingCapacity
  • StandingCapacity
  • PrioritySeatingCapacity: See NeTEx Proposal
  • WheelchairPlaceCapacity
  • PramPlaceCapacity
  • BicycleRackCapacity: While it is technically possible to depict the bicycle capacity via PassengerVehicleCapacity, it should be done here, regardless of whether the space is a rack or not.

DELFI

• 3050 ↦ PrioritySeatingCapacity > 0

Example:

<capacities>
  <PassengerVehicleCapacity version="any" id="PassengerVehicleCapacity/id/1">
    <VehicleCategory>car</VehicleCategory>
    <VehicleCapacity>4</VehicleCapacity>
  </PassengerVehicleCapacity>

  <PassengerCapacity version="any" id="PassengerCapacity/id/1">
    <FareClass>firstClass</FareClass>
    <SeatingCapacity>8</SeatingCapacity>
  </PassengerCapacity>

  <PassengerCapacity version="any" id="PassengerCapacity/id/2">
    <FareClass>secondClass</FareClass>
    <TotalCapacity>220</TotalCapacity>
    <SeatingCapacity>207</SeatingCapacity>
    <StandingCapacity>275</StandingCapacity>
    <WheelchairPlaceCapacity>2</WheelchairPlaceCapacity>
    <PramPlaceCapacity>3</PramPlaceCapacity>
    <BicycleRackCapacity>33</BicycleRackCapacity>
    <PrioritySeatingCapacity>25</PrioritySeatingCapacity>
  </PassengerCapacity>
</capacities>

Length

Total length of the vehicle, including the bumpers of a coach. For vehicles see ISO 612:1978. System for units can be specified on frame. Default is metres as defined here.

Example:

<Length>20.05</Length>

Width

Total width of the vehicle (excluding the vehicle's rear mirrors). For vehicles see ISO 612:1978. System for units can be specified on frame. Default is metres as defined here. Note: This is not DELFI 3090 see EdgeToTrackCenterDistance instead.

Example:

<Width>2.926</Width>

Height

Total height of the vehicle, excluding any none fixed parts like pantographs. For vehicles see ISO 612:1978. System for units can be specified on frame. Default is metres as defined here.

Example:

<Height>4.26</Height>

Weight

TBD. System for units can be specified on frame. Default is kilos as defined here.

<Weight>56</Weight>

facilities

This allows the specification of features available on a vehicle, like does the vehicle have air conditioning or is there an onboard bistro.

The ServiceFacilitySet shall be defined directly under facilities like so:

<VehicleType>
  <facilities>
    <ServiceFacilitySet>
      ...
    </ServiceFacilitySet>
  </facilities>
</VehicleType>
