Dear Natasha Sonnenberg and Volker Knollmann,
the answers to your questions:
overlap --> Durchrutschweg
derailer --> Gleissperre
distSignal --> Vorsignal. There can be several possible distant signals
for one route, if there are junctions before the start signal, but in most
cases there would be only one distant signal. Maybe we can also leave this
information out because it is a direct result of track topology.
localOpAreas (locally operated areas) means areas (normally larger
shunting areas) which are not controlled from a signal box, but locally
operated (either manual or electric, the latter has the German name EOW -
Elektrisch ortsbediente Weichen). Nevertheless, there can be element
dependences between the switches, if they are used to a large extend, you
have something like a small, decentralized signal box for shunting areas.
Best regards,
Gregor Theeg
