Article 5 Sharing and exchange of data

Public or private parking operators and service providers shall share and exchange data referred to in paragraph 1 of Article 4. For these purposes they shall use DATEX II (CEN/TS 16157) format or any DATEX II compatible international machine-readable format. Data shall be accessible for exchange and reuse by any public or private information service provider and/or parking operator on a non-discriminatory basis, and in accordance with access rights and procedures defined in Directive 2003/98/EC.

The static data shall be accessible through a national or international access point.

For dynamic data, Member States (or national authorities) shall be responsible for setting up and managing a central national or international point of access referencing all individual single points of access of each truck parking operator and/or service provider on their territory in the interests of users.

Member States may contribute to an international access point by providing data and ensuring that its quality is in conformity with the requirements in Article 7.

Charges for access to, exchange of, and reuse of public or private dynamic data shall remain reasonable as referred to in the PSI Directive.

Public and private parking operators and/or service providers shall periodically send their static collected data to the national or international access point through appropriate electronic means no less than once a year for static data referred to in Article 4(1).

For dynamic data public and private operators and/or services providers shall update their information referred to in Article 4(3) no less than once every 15 minutes.
