Recommended Reference Profiles - RTTI

The DATEX II standard supports the entire domain of road traffic and road travel data provision. As a result the DATEX II content standard offers the ablitity of a coherent dataprovision for a wide variety of services in relation to traffic and travel information and management, both on a network and individual basis. To support the different types of services using the DATEX II standard, the concept of Recommended Profiles is available. A profile is a subset of the entire standard, only containing the relevant data-elements required for a specific use case.

To ensure interoperability of information services profiles need to be implemented. Systems implementing the same DATEX II profile are interoperable by definition. To support the EU Delegated Regulations on ITS and the by EU-EIP maintained deployment guides , DATEX II developped and publishes reference profiles. The requirements for these profiles either come from the harmonisation and liaison processes run in the DATEX II organisation, the EU-EIP activity 4.5 or liaison with external stakeholder communities such as TISA and C-Roads.

The EU Delegated Regulations are supported by Recommende Reference Profiles (RRP's). These RRP's contain the minimum set of data-elements required to provide the information meant by the specific datacategory in the specific delegated regulation. With the DATEX II webtool it is possible to combine the RRP's to a set of RRP's covering the available information. Apart from that, it is possible to extent the RRP with information elements that are available in the specific source.

Recommended Reference Profiles

The documentation on this page give a harmonised interpretation of the data categories in the Delegated Regulations A, B, C and E of the EU ITS-Directive 1040.

It is of utmost importance, regarding the EC goal to provide harmonised data exchange, that the content (data categories) of the Data exchange initiated by the different regulations are modelled identical by the different operators. The supporting documentation set out very clearly which data elements are correspding to the data categories and how they are to be recognised in the profile.

With the on-going maintenance of DATEX II, DATEX II takes care that profiles and their documentation are available when new versions of the relevant parts are published.

FOR THE DELEGATED REGULATION 962/2015

For the Delegated regulation 962/2015 data profiles for the following datacategories will be developed:

The types of the static road data include in particular:

: 1. location of parking places and service areas; 2. location of charging points for electric vehicles and the conditions for their use; 3. location of compressed natural gas, liquified natural gas, liquified petroleum gas stations;
The types of the dynamic road status data include in particular:

: 1. road closures; 2. lane closures; 3. bridge closures; 4. overtaking bans on heavy goods vehicles; 5. roadworks; 6. accidents and incidents; 7. dynamic speed limits; 8. direction of travel on reversible lanes; 9. poor road conditions; 10. temporary traffic management measures; 11. variable road user charges and available payment methods; 12. availability of parking places; 13. availability of delivery areas; 14. cost of parking; 15. availability of charging points for electric vehicles; 16. weather conditions affecting road surface and visibility.
The types of the traffic data include in particular:

: 1. traffic volume; 2. speed; 3. location and length of traffic queues; 4. travel times; 5. waiting time at border crossings to non-EU Member States.
