Open Data Standards are like a common language for different types of transportation, making everything work together smoothly. Think of them as rules that everyone follows to share information easily. These standards help different systems understand each other, allowing for things like real-time updates and better planning.

• Standards:
  • Public Transport Standards: Netex, GTFS, GTFS-RT
  • Vehicle sharing: MDS, GBFS
  • Network specification: GMNS
  • Conceptual: Transmodel
  • Rail: Ontorail, TAP-TSI, S2R-CDM, BITRE
• Open Data portals:
  • Transitland - collection of GTFS worldwide.
  • Transport Gov FR - Transport in FR.
