Hello,

I'm an intern at Systra in railway engineering. I'm working on BIM technologies, such as railML, and we are making a study to use this format in the future, that's why I have so many questions to ask you.

Does someone have an example of a clothoid represented with its geometry? For example:
<radiusChange radius="2000" pos="175,18"
superelevation="15" geometryElementDescription="TS_clothoide">

Indeed, I tried to write this example with the documentation, but I think its not sufficient to represent the infrastructure geometry of the clothoid.

Don't hesitate to share an example which works. Smile Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Dear Illan,

welcome to the railML infrastructure community!

Indeed, the example you provided only states that you have a clothoid,
but not which specific type. Please use one of the other available
enumeration values:
* TS_cubicParabola
* TS_parabola4
* TS_WienerBogen
* TS_BlossBogen
* TS_Sinusoide
* TS_Cosinusoide
You can also define your own value (if correct one is missing) making
use of the any enumeration value.

To be clear: railML does not model the transition curve parameters.
Please look them up in a corresponding reference or try to include the
LandXML schema.

Best regards
Christian

Hello, Christian,

I think, but maybe I'm wrong, that a clothoid is already a specific type of curvature, like a sinusoide or a Wiener Bogen.

Where can I include the LandXML? In railML?
