Hello railway friends :-)!
We have a product RailOpt 2T that is a system for Intelligent Resource
Management (IRM). It is a planning- and production-system for the railway
industry. With the experience with the customers SJ (Sweden), CFL
(Luxemburg), BLS and SOB (both Switherland) we would like to use the
timetable schema as the STANDARD for integrating (and exporting) timetables
from (and to) external systems (like SYFA, Roman, BITS etc.).
Please check the attached draft for the revised extensions and suggestions
for a new major release 2.0 for the timetable schema. Here is a quick
summary of the revision for version 2.0:
NEW top elements: netNodes and sections:
This helps to reduce the timetable entries. The network nodes ("posID"),
sections and distance being used in the timetable entries are replaced by
ONE sectionID referring to the section in the top element.
MOVING top element: operatingPeriods below a timetablePeriod:
Operating periods should always refer to a specific timetable period. An
operating period like "11" (containing all Mondays - e.g. in Bit Mask
format) may exist in several different timetable periods but have different
Bit Masks!
NEW element: project below timetable period; MOVING element: train below a
project:
A timetable period should have several projects. The train elements are
moved below a project. This allows systems like RailOpt to create different
sets of trains in different projects within one timetable period. Trains
could be merged and copied between projects.
The new XML structure for the timetable interface would look like this:
railML
timetable
networkNodes
sections
timetableperiods
operatingPeriods
projects
trains
I have signed up for the 10th railML conference and our company Qnamic has a
stand at the InnoTrans exhibition in Berlin this week. I am looking forward
to discuss the timetable specification with somebody! Our office is in
Switzerland and everybody is happily invited!
Cheers,
