Example Interpretation of Breakdowns and Accidents

The Breakdown and Accidents data service reports breakdowns and accidents. This concerns aSituationPublication in which, in addition to the standard situation setup, a situationRecord is specified using the specialization VehicleObstruction (traffic obstruction caused by a vehicle on the road) or Accident (accident situations).

Traffic obstruction due to a vehicle on the road

In the case of traffic obstruction caused by a vehicle on the road, a situationRecord of the specialization [VehicleObstruction](../elementen/payloadpublication/situationpublication/specialisaties/generiek/vehicleobstruction.md.

<situationRecord id="RWS03_258144_1" version="2" xsi:type="VehicleObstruction">
  ..
</situationRecord>

Some standard elements are filled in as follows:

Element Content
situationRecordCreationReference Reference to a corresponding record in another data stream.
situationRecordCreationTime The timestamp when this part of the situation became active. werd
situationRecordObservationTime The timestamp when (the first version of) this part of the situation became active at the data provider.
situationRecordVersionTime The timestamp when this version became active.
situationRecordFirstSupplierVersionTime The timestamp when (the first version of) this part of the situation became active at the data provider.
probabilityOfOccurrence The likelihood that this situation component actually occurs (for this data service, this element will have the value "certain").
safetyRelatedMessage Source of the data.
sourceName Source of the data.
validityStatus The validity of the situationRecord will by default have the value "active" in this data service.
overallStartTime The first timestamp when the entire situation component becomes or has become valid.
overallEndTime The last timestamp after which the situation component becomes invalid.

Additionally, the following elements are relevant.

Element mobilityType

Indicates the extent to which movement or displacement of the event is expected. This element has the domain values: mobile, stationary, unknown.

<mobilityOfObstruction>
  <mobilityType>stationary</mobilityType> 
</mobilityOfObstruction>

vehicleObstructionType

Description of the blockage caused by a vehicle. Many domain values are defined for this element. The values used in this data service mainly concern completely immobilized vehicles, such as a vehicle with engine failure (brokenDownVehicle). The complete list of possible values can be found here.

<vehicleObstructionType>brokenDownVehicle</vehicleObstructionType> 

Accident situations

In the case of accident situations, a situationRecord of the specialization Accident (accident situations) is used.

<situationRecord id="RWS03_258140_1" version="2" xsi:type="Accident">
  ..
</situationRecord>

DThe elements that are standard for this data service within the situationRecord are the same as those for the specialization VehicleObstruction.

Specific elements relevant for accident situations are:

Element accidentType

This element describes the type of accident. The element appears at least once but can be included multiple times to describe the accident as accurately as possible. In addition to the domain value "accident," the element contains a set of predefined values to specify the accident in more detail. The complete list of possible values can be found here.
