VehicleCharacteristics
The vehicleCharacteristics element describes the properties of the vehicles to which the DATEX II message pertains. In the case of Situatiemessages it specifies the type of vehicles a message is meant for, such as a closure for freight traffic. In the case of Traffic data it defines the type of vehicles related to the measurement value, such as distinguishing between passenger cars, vans, and/or trucks. In the case of EmissieZones , it specifies for which types of vehicles the zone applies.
Explanation on the use of specificVehicleCharacteristics inTraffic data
For each measurement location, at least once per measurement point, the category 'anyVehicle' is indicated with the vehicleType element. In the other specificVehicleCharacteristics elements related to that measurement point, only lengthCharacteristic may be used. This element appears one or two times and describes the lower and/or upper limit of the category (expressed in length). For a detailed specification, see the description of MeasurementSpecificCharacteristics
