LEVEL 1 USER SUPPORT¶
Getting started with DATEX II¶
- Start with defining your information service in functional terms:
- With who are you going to Exchange?
- What road network?
- What information?
- Do you really collect the information?
- Is there a digitalised road network available (sustainable)?
- Agree on the language
- Agree on the information profile + maintenance
- The next step is to determine the operational level of service:
- Operations supported
- Timeliness requirements
- Strong coupled or loose
- Then, determine the location referencing method to be used.
- TMC, linear, Open-LR, TPEG, GML or a combination
- And finally, go to webtool.datex2.eu and choose a predefined profile or create one yourself using the tools available to generate and validate your own profiles.
Using profiles to your benefit¶
The rapid evolution of the digital world means that European standardisation and harmonisation of data plays an increasingly important role in achieving (national and European) policy goals. This is partly reflected by the inclusion of DATEX II as a standard in European ITS regulations. In a number of ‘delegated regulations’ to the European Commission’s ITS Directive (delegated acts), DATEX II is mentioned as a (reference) standard in which the exchange of data must take place. That means that DATEX II is used in practice. This concerns the delegated acts on Multimodal travel information services, Real Time Traffic Information Services (RTTI), Safety Related Traffic Information Services (SRTI) and Truck Parking. DATEX II has developed European profiles for these four delegated regulations which are available on our website and the documentation portal.
