scope:

CEN/TS 16157 specifies and defines component facets supporting the exchange and shared use of data and information in the field of traffic and travel. The component facets include the framework and context for exchanges, the modelling approach, the data content, the data structure and relationships and the communications specification.

Part 6 of this Technical Specification is applicable to:

- Parking information - static and dynamic information about urban or interurban parking sites including Truck Parking information

It establishes specifications for data exchange between any two instances of the following actors:

- Traffic Information Centres (TICs),

- Traffic Control Centres (TCCs),

- Service Providers (SPs),

- Parking Operators.

Use of this Technical Specification may be applicable for use by other actors.

This Part of the Technical Specification includes the following type of information content:

- Parking information including static content (description and attribution of parking areas, parking sites and single parking spaces) and dynamic content (occupancy and vehicle measurement information). It covers urban parking information as well as Truck Parking information. It also covers a publication for information about specific parking vehicles.

Thus, this Part of CEN/TS 16157 specifies the informational structures, relationships, roles, attributes and associated data types required for publishing parking information within the DATEX II framework. This is specified as a DATEX II Parking Publications sub-model, which is part of the DATEX II platform independent model, but this Part excludes those elements that relate to location information which are specified in CEN/TS 16157-2.
