Dear all,

please note the view from interlocking side:

<TrainDetectionElement>
It is an element on the track with a definitive position but without length. It
can be a axle counter detection point, a wheel sensor or an insulated rail
joint. It is NOT an entire track circuit.

<TrainDetectionElementSection>
First it seems to be a duplicate to the functional item <TvdSection> we have in
the interlocking part.
A TVD section is a part of a track (with length) used to detect whether there is
any rail vehicle in it. It is clearly delimited by detection elements or end of
tracks (buffer stop).


Best regards,
Joerg v. Lingen
