Details

JourneyWeb allows 2 or more journey planning systems to dynamically combine data, creating new composite journeys.

JourneyWeb is a request and response protocol and either journey planner can initiate queries by sending a request. Messages are in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format and tags are specified within the JourneyWeb schema.

The JourneyWeb protocol can:

  • return a list of remote stops for a locality or coordinate
  • calculate a journey between a combinations of stops
  • provide details about specific journey legs
  • return a matrix of timetable data
  • return departures for a stop at a specified time
  • return a list of services
  • return the supported transport operators

JourneyWeb is used in conjunction with the national public transport access node used for identifying stops, stations and other access points to public transport.
