GTFS Realtime - Service Alerts

Description

This service provides all event information from transport companies in Switzerland that are connected to the central data hub (DDS SKI). The continuously updated data can be obtained as an XML file via API on the open data platform.

Consistent and consistent passenger information - as passengers expect from transport associations and companies - was recognised as one of the most important quality features of public transport. The workflows and information flows between real-time communication and information platforms (VDV 431) and ITCS must be coordinated, particularly in the event of operational changes and disruptions.

VDV 736 provides transport companies, transport associations and manufacturers with recommendations on how to use the SIRI-SX / VDV 736 interfaces (see also further information) in order to enable comprehensive, prompt and consistent passenger information in the event of disruptions in the future.

The GTFS Realtime (GTFS-RT) Service Alerts (GTFS-RT (SA)) exchange format is specifically provided here. You can read more about the closely linked GTFS-RT, as well as about GTFS (with which the data must be associated), in the further information.
