AFIR governs free availability of specified static and dynamic data for public points. It enables apps, maps and mobility services to offer drivers updated, comparable information.
Static and dynamic data
- Static data describes location, access and technical characteristics.
- Dynamic data may include availability and operational information requiring updates.
- Exact categories are defined by the regulation and subsequent EU acts.
Why APIs matter
An API exchanges data automatically without manual copying. Operators must maintain identifiers, information quality, updates and continuous flows.
The next European deadline
A common European data access point is planned by 31 December 2026. Technical details must be checked against applicable acts and competent authorities' guidance.
