Scope

The scope of the proposed work item will be:
­ The context of the work done within CoRoM,
­ The data information flow and steps required for purchasing any multimodal travel
(including basic after sale), from the perspective of travellers,
­ How to use Transmodel (EN 12896) to represent them (only Transmodel based concepts
and data structure should be taken into account),
­ A study of a range of existing APIs and their functionalities, which include OSDM, TOMPAPI, BoB, Entur API, FerryGateway, (EU) 454/2011 (TAP TSI) etc.
­ The implication of such study for Transmodel (EN 12896)
­ The implication of such study on the purchase APIs taking into account the Transmodel
approach.
The last part of this proposed work item will inform the revision of Transmodel Parts 5 and 6 (EN
12896­5 and EN 12896­6) and NeTEx Part 3 (TS 16614­3).
This TR covers the following functional scope:
­ Provision of a catalogue / fares consultation
­ Request for specific fare offers (including criteria)
­ Selection of a formal offer by the customer (pre­purchase)
­ Initiate the purchase
        - commitment to buy
        -  reservation
        -  evidence of the purchase
­ Manage after purchase (basic after­sale actions)
­ All interactions can be related to persistent identity
The following items are not in scope:
­ creation and distribution of the travel document
­ travel planning
­ payment as interface with bank SI
­ access right validation
­ access right control

 

Purpose

This proposal relates to the CoRoM project, which is to provide support to the work to be carried
out by the European Standardisation Organizations (ESOs) for the coordination and
standardisation of purchase (including basic after­sale) interfaces (also called Booking APIs) for
multimodal travel (including long distance rail). The main objective of the CoRoM project is to
facilitate the interoperability of data exchanges between the various stakeholders which provide
multimodal travel opportunities to the public, including the “first and last mile” legs of the travel.
This proposal directly relates to the above­mentioned project as one of its deliverables: a
technical report that would go hand in hand with the revision of Transmodel Parts 5 and 6 (EN
12896­5 and EN 12896­6) and NeTEx Part 3 (TS 16614­3). This technical report is to act as a
collection of:
­ The broader context of the revision of the above­mentioned EN and TS,
­ Inputs from the experts on how purchase (including basic after­sale) interfaces (with or
without reservation) are addressed in different IT systems dedicated to multimodal travel,
including long distance rail,
­ Use­cases from the travellers’ perspectives
­ Existing CEN/TR 17949:2023 ­ Public transport ­ Distribution APIs for MaaS
­ Existing APIs including OSDM, TOMP­API, BoB, Entur API, FerryGateway, (EU)
454/2011 (TAP TSI)…
­ Guidelines for the future building of purchase (including basic after­sale) interfaces (or
APIs) using Transmodel (EN 12896) that are aligned with NeTEx (TS 16614), SIRI (EN/TS
15531) and OJP (TS 17118) standards.
