Dear all,
on some line sections with electric traction system the maximum
allowable current and power of a train is limited by the electrification
(see also EN 50388).
This may have influence on acceleration, running times and energy
consumption, especially of high speed trains and multiple unit formations.
Up to now there is no railML-element or attribute for considering such
limitations.
I propose to extend the electrificationChange-element with an optional
attribute "maxTrainCurrent".
The maxTrainCurrent shall be expressed in amperes, e.g. unit is 1 A.
Possible values are the typical values under normal conditions (e.g.
600, 900, 1200 for 15 kV systems), none and "other:..".
Sometimes, e.g. in Germany, there are different maximum allowable
currents for passenger and freight trains.
There is also a maximum allowable train current per pantograph at
standstill.
Maybe it makes sense to add other optional attributes for this.
With best regards,

Dear Mr. Frenzke,
thank you for bringing up the topic of maximum train currents that I
would like to comment on from railML.org side:

That is correct for railML 2.x. In railML 3.1 beta that had been
released on October 31, 2018, a first version of the maximum train
current topic has already been implemented.
An example based on this implementation in the infrastructure scheme
looks like this:
<electrification>
<energyCatenary maxPantoCurrentStandstill="800"
maxTrainCurrentDriving="3000"/>
</electrification>
The values are given in Amperes [A].

In order to allow for train category specific maximum train currents, a
modification of the schema has been discussed. The adapted example would
look like this:
<electrification>
<energyCatenary maxPantoCurrentStandstill="800">
<maxTrainCurrentDriving maxCurrent="3000" trainType="passenger"/>
<maxTrainCurrentDriving maxCurrent="1200" trainType="freight"/>
</energyCatenary>
</electrification>
> Maybe it makes sense to add other optional attributes for this.
I would like to direct this question to the infrastructure managers and
electrification experts:
Are there any further parameters that are relevant for the maximum train
current? Any feedback is appreciated...
Best regards
Christian

Dear all,
I created a Trac ticket for the specific issue. It is available in [1].
