Dear railML users,

During our railML conference in Berlin a new proposal for train
types/kinds was articulated for the context of stop posts.

It is necessary to distinguish between "commercial passenger trains"
(with passengers) and "operational passenger trains" (without
passengers, only with staff). Former have to stop, latter may pass
without any stop. That is an important issue for simulation software.

Christian announced the last changes in this direction with the
following posting.

I summarized the issue in Trac ticket #167 [2]

As stated at the railML conference in Berlin (2013-03-06) further
categories for stop posts are needed then currently defined in the
"kind" attribute.

Additionally to "passengerTrains" or "freightTrains" or "allTrains"
or "shunting" a flag for "not_valid_for_empty_run" is needed.

This is often used in combination with "passengerTrains".

The current implementation quite re-uses the "trainUsage" attribute of
the timetabling "category" element. This element also offers a "deadrun"
boolean-typed attribute, that would fulfill the new request.

How about referring to an "category" with "categoryRef" instead of the
current "kind" attribute?

That would mean to list all possible categories (ICE, ICE_empty, RE,
RE_empty...) each stop post or to
define some general categories (passenger, passenger_empty, freight,
mixed) therefore.

Any comments* appreciated.

Kind regards...
Susanne
