Dear IS-Community,

following the rules for the Discussion pages (see
http://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=Dev:Wiki_Documentatio n_Guidelines#Discussion_PagesWink
i have to move the existing discussion about semantic of @type in
<track> and the mapping to national usage to this forum.

In the IS Developers group the a unclear mapping for the classifications
of the track in the type attribute was discussed and shall be improved
in a future version:

=== German usage / Deutsche Anwendung ===

The usage in Germany is currently AFAIK:
  • Durchgehendes Hauptgleis; pro Betriebsstelle immer Eines bei je Eingleisiger und Zwei je zweigleisiger Strecken, mit Zugstraße
  • Hauptgleis; alle anderen Gleise mit mindestens einer Zugstraße
  • Nebengleis; alle anderen Gleise ohne Zugstraßen, nur Rangierfahrten
  • Gleisverbindung; Gleise ohne eigenen Verkehrswert, in Weichenverbindungen, Überleitungen
The mapping for mainTrack to Deutschland:durchgehendes Hauptgleis is
nearby, but what's with the others:
  • secondaryTrack: This is a track not frequently used (e. g. for overtaking only).
  • connectingTrack: This is a transfer track from one to another track e. g. in branches, points or cross overs.
  • sidingTrack: This is a siding.
  • stationTrack: This is a track in a station, possibly with plattforms.
  • other:anything Any value that does not fit any value from the previous enumeration list, fulfilling the constraint: at minimum two characters, whitespace is not allowed.
Any opinions for railML® 2.x and for a refactoring in railML® 3.x?

Best regards,
