CycleNetXChange
CycleNetXChange provides a standard format with which to exchange cycle path data, together with information about the quality of routes; This enables computerised transport systems to provide cycle routes. This UK National Cycle Path network schema (CycleNetXChange) defines an exchange format for an exchange of cycle path data together with information relevant to cycling about the quality of routes; .

Integrated Transport Network
The Integrated Transport Network (ITN) is a dataset containing details of Great Britain's transport network. Produced by Ordnance Survey – the national mapping agency of Great Britain – it forms part of the OS MasterMap suite of products. Intended to facilitate route planning and resource management, the dataset consists of three elements: Road Network (road geometry), Road Routing Information (routing information for drivers concerning mandatory and banned turns and other restrictions) and Urban Paths (man-made path geometry in urban areas). The network is a link-and-node based network containing such details about each link as: *the class of road (A-road, B-road, etc.); *the nature of the road (single carriageway, dual carriageway, roundabout, etc.); *road names; *road routing information (RRI) (e.g. prohibited turns, one-way streets). These data are supplied in Geography Markup Language file format. Features The main benefits claimed for this product are that * ...

NaPTAN
The National Public Transport Access Node (NaPTAN) database is a UK nationwide system for uniquely identifying all the points of access to public transport in the UK. The dataset is closely associated with the National Public Transport Gazetteer. Every UK railway station, coach terminus, airport, ferry terminal, bus stop, taxi rank or other place where public transport can be joined or left is allocated a unique NaPTAN identifier. The relationship of the stop to a City, Town, Village or other locality can be indicated through an association with elements of the National Public Transport Gazetteer. There is a CEN standardisation initiative, Identification of Fixed Objects In Public Transport ('IFOPT'), to develop NaPTAN concepts into a European standard for stop identification as an extension to Transmodel, the European standard for Public Transport information. Purpose of NaPTAN The ability to identify and locate stops in relation to topography, both consistently and econo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
