Element impact

The impact element can be used to indicate the influence the relevant situation component has on (the use of/or road users on) the road.

The element is structured as follows:

None of the elements are mandatory, but at least one of the elements must be included (otherwise the element impact should not be used). There is a certain coherence between the elements, but it is not always one-to-one. For the semantics of the use of the element click here.

Elements

Element Type Mandatory Domain Description
capacityRemaining Percentage No >=0 <=100 Indicates the percentage of normal availability that remains.
numberOfLanesResctricted NonNegativeInteger No >=0 Number of lanes to which the restriction applies.
numberOfOperationalLanes NonNegativeInteger No >=0 Number of lanes available to traffic.
residualLaneWidth MetresAsFloat No >=0 The usable total lane width (individual lanes) in meters.
residualRoadWidth MetresAsFloat No >=0 The usable total lane width (all available lanes together) in meters.
delays N/A No N/A The estimated or measured delay time shown in a rating or in seconds.

Example Lane information

<sit:impact>
  <sit:numberOfLanesRestricted>2</sit:numberOfLanesRestricted>
  <sit:numberOfOperationalLanes>1</sit:numberOfOperationalLanes>
</sit:impact>

Element delays

The delays element is used to describe an estimated or measured delay. The element contains three sub-elements for this: delayBand, delaysType, delayTimeValue.

Element Type Mandatory Domain Description
delayBand DelayBandEnum No negligible, upToTenMinutes, betweenTenMinutesAndThirtyMinutes, betweenThirtyMinutesAndOneHour, betweenOneHourAndThreeHours, betweenThreeHoursAndSixHours, longerThanSixHours Gives the classification of a delay, divided by duration (that is, the extra travel time).
delaysType DelayTypeEnum No delays, delaysOfUncertainDuration, longDelays, veryLongDelays Gives the classification of the delay.
delayTimeValue Seconds No >=0 The delay in travel time in seconds, compared to normal conditions.

Example delays

<sit:impact>
  <sit:delays>
    <sit:delayBand>betweenTenMinutesAndThirtyMinutes</sit:delayBand>
  </sit:delays>
</sit:impact>
