Integrate LineEquipment air conditioning

[lg3175]

We would like to integrate the line equipment data on the netex. It seems that the Netex profile for networks is appropriate, however only the notion of accessibility equipment is available. If we wish to integrate a data for example the presence of air conditioning on board a line (True or False) how can we integrate it into this netex profile?

I would say this is or should be part of VehicleType information, not at Line level.

[lg3175]

I agree with you, VehicleType is the thinnest level for this information. However, operator haven't this information at the line level, they say if all vehicles have air-conditioning equal True if one of them vehicle doesn't equal false. The vehicle level can't permit to push if, for example, Line A is air-conditioning or not in the application.

No, Vehicle is the finest level.

I would be in favour of having an AC facility There is already this information in VehicleModel (via VehicleModelProfile/CarModelProfile) and in WaitingEquipment... but that is not covering all the needs for me.

There is currently an air conditioning boolean

• On WaitingEquipment for  Stops and bus shelters
• On DeckSpace (new)   for onboard 
• On car model profile for perosnal drive vehicles

Should probably be a more detailed EnvironmentControlFacility attached to SERVICE FACILITY SET / ACCOMMODATION with a list of values e.g. airConditioning / heating / noConditioning/ noHeating / windowsCanBeOpened / sealedWindows

And maybe a separate a LightingControlFacility also e.g. tintedWindows / blinds / curtains / dimmableLights / lightsAlwaysOn / noNaturalLighting
