Dear railML-IL-community,

as my newsreader does not allow a crosspost and follow-up currently I
want to give your interest to the following post in the IS forum too.

Any feedback is welcome, please use the IS forum please! TB

Hello Christian,

we do not use <signal>@sigSystem in our exports as we find a modelling
way to have the same meaning by using <signal>@ruleCode. Last week we
filled some examples for speed signals and signals in the corresponding
Wiki page (see http://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=IS:signal) with
OUR way of modelling. I think that this is far away from being perfect
but we are expecting a more granular modelling from railML 3.x IS & IL
work. I expect good results from the communities work in these use cases
than in railML 2.x.

By the way, what about:
- <signal>@maskableRoute,
- <signal>@maskableATC,
- <signal>@sight and
- <signal>@distNearestDangerPoint?

These elements are neither well documented in the Wiki than clear from
the semantics. It seems that there are also a lot of dependencies to a
IL scheme which does not exists in railML 2.x for now.

On our part, we have no objections to a statement as DEPRECATED as of
railML 2.4 to these five attributes. We prefer more a clear railML
scheme than a wide, but unclear and undocumented scheme.

Best regards,

Tobias Bregulla

Thanks Tobias for the hint.

Indeed in the 2.x versions of IS were introduced some functional data because no IL part was available. Within railML3
the functional aspects of an element like signal shall be placed in the IL part. In the current draft of IL there are
elements and attributes forseen to cover such data. In addition it has to be noted that issues like DangerPoint or the
shown signal aspect are related to routes but not the signal itself.
