Calendar-objects

A Service Calendar defines days, dayType, operational periods and other calendar items, as well as the connections between them. These definitions are further used (mainly) in the Timetable to specify when a Line operates.

The XML example in it its entirety can be found in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/entur/profile-norway-examples/blob/master/netex/schedule/ServiceCalendar-example.xml

Below is a more detailed description of the most important elements of modelling a calendar object.

...

PublicationDelivery

All XML files according to the Norwegian NeTEx profile should be of type PublicationDelivery containing relevant Frames. (See GitHub for a complete example.)

...

All calendar objects are defined in a ServiceCalendarFrame. It can be done in a ServiceCalendar object, but given that most components are often reused across the dataset, it is recommended to define these directly in ServiceCalendarFrame.

ServiceCalendarFrame

<ServiceCalendarFrame version="any" id="RUT:ServiceCalendarFrame:1">
	<ServiceCalendar version="any" id="RUT:ServiceCalendar">
		<Name>Weekdays</Name>
		<FromDate>2019-04-01</FromDate>
		<ToDate>2019-08-31</ToDate>
	</ServiceCalendar>
[...]

...

Timeband shows time indication.

• StartTime and EndTime or Duration specify the period span.

• If StartTime and EndTime are equal it specifies a specific time. E.g. when specifying a repeating hourly departure (in Rhythmical Journey), this is indicated by a consistent time of "00".

<timebands>
	<Timeband version="any" id="RUT:Timeband:TM15">
		<!--Name>15 minutes past the hour</Name-->
		<StartTime>00:15:00</StartTime>
		<EndTime>00:15:00</EndTime>
	</Timeband>
</timebands>

...

Specification of an operating day, possibly also the start and length of an operating day. Can be linked to a dayType , e.g. 637370378Kalender#dayTypeAssignments.

<operatingDays>
	<OperatingDay version="any" id="RUT:OperatingDay:default:1">
		<CalendarDate>2016-05-01</CalendarDate>
		<EarliestTime>10:10:00</EarliestTime>
		<DayLength>PT12H45M</DayLength>
	</OperatingDay>
	<OperatingDay version="any" id="RUT:od:default:2">
		<CalendarDate>2016-07-07</CalendarDate>
		<EarliestTime>11:11:00</EarliestTime>
		<DayLength>PT9H10M</DayLength>
	</OperatingDay>
</operatingDays>
