Dear railML community,

one of our customer needs to keep track of the infrastructure train
number, aka train path number (Trasse). We model this as a property of
an operational train section.

Indeed, we cannot use an attribute of the <train> since both commercial
and operational trains are owned by the train operating company. The
infrastructure manager's view on trains differs.

As for now, we will make use of a custom attribute at
<trainPartSequence>. Now railML2.3 is already in preview mode, so
probably we should discuss this issue for 2.4 or 3.

Best regards, Andreas.

Dear Andreas,

I do not agree with that statement. An operational train is a train from
the view of the Infrastructure Manager. Therefore, the trainNumber
attribute of an operational train can contain the train (path) number
("operational train number") of that train.

I do agree (already for a long time) that this issue should be solved
better in 3.0. In my opinion it is part of the "re-factoring".

Best regards,
Dirk.

This issue was discussed in the railML's Timetable developer meeting in Berlin on June 2nd, 2016.

Conclusion: The timetable experts wants to keep the operational train number (betriebliche Zugnummer) as the primary number for the infrastructure manager and a additional attribute will reduce interoperability.

Additional for most European IM's and RU's the Unique Train Transport ID by ERA introduced in railML 2.3 (see Ticket 236) will solve the problem.
