RVS Englisch 05.01.14 Intermodal Transport Reference System for Austria – Standard Description GIP (Graphs Integration Platform)
März 2012

This RVS is required for the configuration and maintenance of the Austria-wide intermodal electronic transportation reference system GIP (graphs integration platform). The GIP forms the basis for both new electronic administration procedures in transportation (E-government) and an Austria-wide intermodal transportation information platform.

The GIP Standard Specification defines regulations which are aimed at guaranteeing the consistency of partial graphs and which are required for the Austria-wide exchange of transportation related reference data.

The GIP Standard Specification defines the standard or sets a minimum standard. The minimum standard ensures the consistent functioning of the routing, the cartographic presentations and basic trans-provincial e-government applications Austria-wide (i.e. localization of accident data, exchange of street names and kilometre markers). Further GIP configuration has to be carried out in a way that conforms to the set standards.

The standard defines the logic in which the data have to be collected. The minimum standard defines the minimum data to be collected.
