French implementation

CHOUETTE 

CHOUETTE is an open source software financed by the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, Transport and Housing (MEDDTL). Its main purpose is to capture and exchange data, describing the theoretical timetables of public transport networks.

Goals

Main purpouse of CHOUETTE software is to capture and exchange public transport data, addressing Transport management Authorities, public transport Operators and their contractors, in order to facilitate the implementation of multimodal traveller information systems, and is also dedicated to engineering consulting and industrial firms, as well as researchers, so  as they can integrate it in their own applications.

 Functionalities 

The main CHOUETTE  software functionalities are the following:
  • to validate data according to XML/Neptune format
  • to visualise, import/export/convert, manage and update data related to public transport offer.

The latter  function has been enhanced to support import/export from/to a candidate NeTEx profile for reference PT offer (since version 2.0.3), and is currently updated for the latest NeTEx version, compliant with the French and Nowegian profiles.

Target users

Target users are public authority, transport operators, service provider, consultant, and researchers,  This software can be used in multiple ways:
  • as a web application freely hosted on CHOUETTE website;
  • as a web application to be installed on your server;
  • as a virtual machine to be installed on your computer (for developpers);
  • as a command line (shell);
  • as a re-usable Java library.

 

MobiliTx

MobilitX is a software solution developed by DIGINEXT (FR) providing a Real Time Public Transport Information HUB relying on state of the Art interfaces including NETEX and SIRI.

Mobilitix1

 Goals

Its main purposes are to :

  • to acquire multi sources, multimodal and multi operators transport data,
  • to aggregate and make transport information persistent according to a Transmodel model
  • to disseminate a consistent transport information for authorized customers.

 Functionalities

  • Acquisition of Real time and non real time Public Transport information based on proprietary format and/or standard formats
  • Managing this information in order to store, log and supervised MobilitX information
  • Dissemination of information based on standards.

Acquisition and Distribution functions implement NETEX interfaces for network description, transport offer, Vehicle and driver scheduling.

The MobilitX solution could be extended with dedicated tools including Management of Network events or disruption and Display Management (including onboard equipements).

Target users

Transport Authority or operators with a wide range of different transport offers (mode, operator) and legacy systems
