Assigned vehicle for ServiceJourney

[codeape2]

Context/background:

• Example: Route planning for car ferry Molde-Vestnes assigns the vessel "MF Malmefjord" to the service journey at 02:30 Monday-Friday.

• This information is potentially useful for the passengers. For instance trucks carrying dangerous goods can phone "MF Malmefjord" ahead and enquire re. available spots. Also useful for ambulances, fire trucks etc.

• Currently this information is only available in the PDF timetables on the ferry company website (see screenshot, the letters A-D refer to the ferries listed with contact phone number top right).
  

• In Norway, some authorities use NoticeAssignment/Notice to convey this information in NeTEx

Questions/issues:

• What is the best way to include this information in NeTEx? I.e. for each ServiceJourney, refer to which ferry is assigned.
• The vessel/vehicle information should include: name, identifier (ships: IMO/MMSI) and contact information
• In the xsd I find Vehicle, VehicleRef, vehiclesInFrame_RelStructure etc. but I can not see any way to express the connection between a ServiceJourney and a Vehicle.

I guess the best way to go would be to use the fact that each ServiceJourney can reference a VehicleType: then you create a VehicleType for "MF Malmefjord". However you will miss the Contact information in the VehicleType but you have it at ServiceJourney level.
Would that work ?

We've received the first dataset with such data.

#401 Is required to add the contact information to each "vehicle" (ship).

See #584 . I added the ContactDetails there. also did the work asked for here. Will be discussed. Not sure, if it will be used in the end. I think that going through VehicleType is more relevant in classical public transport. For ferries and alternative modes. I think the VehicleType is not a direct concept, but it is ServiceJourney - Vehicle - VehicleType. But I guess @Aurige has an opinion on that....
