Hello,

Does anyone have an idea on how to represent a vertical track geometry? For example, in LandXML, there is section of tracks represented as follow:

<Alignment name="POINT P" length="10729.999981" staStart="9635.000000" desc="">
      <CoordGeom>
        <Line dir="118.260597" length="0.000001">
          <Start>6688142.924053 524155.814846</Start>
          <End>6688142.924053 524155.814847</End>
        </Line>
        <Spiral length="183.094296" radiusEnd="5560.000000" radiusStart="17010.382141" rot="ccw" spiType="clothoid" theta="0.458086">
          <Start>6688142.924053 524155.814847</Start>
          <PI>6688048.650193 524105.137203</PI>
          <End>6687980.877100 524070.591900</End>
        </Spiral>
        <Curve rot="ccw" length="1222.615288" crvType="arc" radius="5560.000000">
          <Start>6687980.877100 524070.591900</Start>
          <Center>6685455.924700 529024.198200</Center>
          <End>6686839.561929 523639.112483</End>
        </Curve>
      </CoordGeom>
</Alignment>

The track geometry can be modelled at its main points using
<gradientChange> elements. Via its parameters "slope",
"transitionLenght" and "transitionRadius" the basic attributes of the
vertical track geometry can be defined in railML 2.x. For railML 3 we
intend to have a more enhanced model. However, railML will not be that
detailed like e.g. LandXML regarding the specific alignment. What do you
need for your use case?

Best regards

Dear Christian,

Is it planned to include the LandXML schema in railML 3, in order to have a more complete model?

More concretly, is it possible to add, in the railML standard, the attributes necessary to have a complete definition of the vertical geometry of a track (and particularly the clothoids)?

Thank you. Smile
