This repository contains the XSD, examples and documentation tables for the "Open API for distributed Journey Planning" published as "CEN/TS 17118:2017: "Intelligent transport systems - Public transport - Open API for distributed journey planning".
OJP consists of a set of services that can be addressed using HTTP requests.
The main services to request information are:
- Place information
- Stop events (arrival and departure boards)
- Searching for trips
- Information about a given trip
- Information about fares for trips
- Changing of trips
- Refining of trips

The ITS Directive Delegated Regulation for provision of EU-wide multimodal travel information services is the legal framework for travel data access and distributed journey planning in Europe. This initiative will provide the necessary requirements to make EU-wide multimodal travel information services accurate and available across borders. One of the key requirements concerns linking travel information services for distributed journey planning. Upon request, travel information service providers shall provide to another information service provider "routing results" based on static, and where possible, dynamic information. The "routing results" shall be based on:
- the enquirers start and end points of a journey along with the specific time and date of departure or arrival, or both;
- possible travel options along with the specific time and date of departure or arrival, or both, including any possible connections;
- the handover point between travel information services;
- in case of disturbances, alternative possible travel options along with the specific time and date of departure or arrival, or both, and any connections, where available.
The Delegated Regulation recommends that the CEN OPEN API standard for distributed journey planning is used by local, regional and national travel information service providers.
