Dear all,

It seems to me that the references to all tracks (partially) inside a TVD section (<relatedToTrack>s) and the references to all track assets in a restricted area (<trackAssetInRA>s) are both redundant and incurring a large overhead. In both cases, these references can be found by the consuming system by following other defined references.

Dear all,

we discussed the issue of <relatedToTrack>s in TVD section today.
1) The element shall be optional not mandatory.
2) It was introduced to allow finding the neighbour TVD section in case of sections with gap as described by Norwegians.
Means there may be cases where (especially) track circuits without explicit insulated rail joints (IRJ) are not joining
or overlapping. As long as we cannot exclude such cases of gaps I would rather keep the possible references to
underlaying track.

Regards,
Jörg von Lingen - Interlocking coordinator

It is correct that finding the next TVD section by looking for other sections referencing the same boarder is not robust when there can be gaps. But that does not make it necessary to include a reference to the track. Actually, in the case of a gap, the next TVD section will not necessarily belong to the same track (e.g. if the gap occurs in a switch). I would rather suggest using the spotLocation/@netElementRef of the already referenced trainDetectionElement and follow that netElement in the applicable direction (if necessary across relations).
