Elements

Note

For the completeness of the description, the elements alertCLocationCountryCode, alertCLocationTableNumber, and alertCLocationTableVersion are included. These stem from the fact that AlertCMethod4Point is derived from AlertCPoint.

Element Type Required Domain Description
alertCLocationCountryCode String Yes 8 (code for the Netherlands), D (code for NDW-VILD) This element contains the EBU country code.
alertCLocationTableNumber String Yes N/A This element contains the release and version numbers of the used VILD, separated by a dot. For example, the value "6.7".
alertCLocationTableVersion String Yes N/A This element contains the subversion of the used VILD. For example, the value "A".
alertCDirection AlertCDirection Yes N/A This element indicates the direction in which the traffic is moving. It consists of two required elements: alertCDirectionCoded and alertCAffectedDirection.
alertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation AlertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation Yes N/A The reference to the location in the VILD with the offset. This element consists of two required elements: alertCLocation and specificLocation.

Sub-element alertCDirection

Element Type Required Domain Description
alertCDirectionCoded _AlertCDirectionEnum Yes negative, positive, both This element describes the direction in which the traffic is moving as shown in the VILD (via POS_OFF or NEG_OFF).
alertCAffectedDirection _LinearDirectionEnum Yes both, opposite, aligned, unknown This element provides additional information for navigation purposes.

Sub-element alertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation

Element Type Required Domain Description
alertCLocation AlertCLocation Yes N/A The reference to a location (number) from the VILD, the offset, and optionally the name of the location.
offsetDistance OffsetDistance Yes N/A This element contains a subelement offsetDistance (MetresAsNonNegativeInteger) with the distance (in flow direction) between the alertCLocation.specificLocation and the location, expressed in meters.

        <alertCLocation>
            <specificLocation>7068</specificLocation>
        </alertCLocation>
        <offsetDistance>
            <offsetDistance>0</offsetDistance>
        </offsetDistance>
    </alertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation>
