Dear railML users,

> 3. Attributes for this new element include:
> - position information: defines the starting position and direction
> of the serviceSection
> - length: the section length which is defined as the actually usable
> length (NOT the physically existing platform/ramp which can be longer)
> - height: the objects's height in mm above rails (for feasible types
> only)
> - type: enumeration of
> "platform" (passanger platform)
> "ramp" (ramp for loading / unloading goods)
> "maintenance" (maintenance facilities e. g. in a depot)
> "loadingFacility" (Goods can be (un-)loaded from the wagon's
> top / underfloor)
> "cleaning" (washing facility for cars and engines)
> "fueling" (facility for re-fuelling of engines)
> "parking" (section for parking of rolling stock)
> "preheating" (electricity or steam for pre-heating purposes)
> "other"
> - side: right, left (seen in positive mileage direction)

including the comments from Dirk and the discussions with the other
schema coordinators, platforms and service sections will be implemented
in railML 2.2 as follows (c.f. [1]):

1. <trackElements> will be extended with two new elements:
<platformEdges> for modelling platforms
<serviceSections> for modelling ramps and related facilities like
maintenance and fueling areas.

2. A <platformEdge> contains the following attributes:
- position information: defines the starting position and direction
of the platform
- length: the length of the platform from an operational view
(usable length)
- height: the platform's height in mm above rails
- side: right, left (seen in positive direction of the track)

3. A <serviceSection> contains the following attributes:
- position information, length, height and side as described for
the platformEdge
- various boolean attributes for a functional classification of the
service section. A service section may fulfill multiple functions and
therefore multiple boolean attributes may be set true.
