Dear Fabiana,
dear Jörg,

let me also contribute to this topic :-)

Yes, "insulatedRailJoint" and "axleCounter" are the train detection
elements that can be modelled via spot location elements.

A "trackCircuit" is a track circuit and it is used (from interlocking
perspective) as "tvdSection" detecting the presence of a railway vehicle
inside.

A "clearancePoint" can be used as a "manual border" of a "tvdSection":
the dispatcher checks (by looking) if the end of train has passed the
clearance point at the switch before allowing the next train to run the
switch on its other branch. Therefore, the "clearancePoint" (together
with the dispatcher) is also some kind of train detector.

The "virtualClearancePoint" is probably not really relevant. It
describes a clearance point, that is not linked with a physical element,
e.g. the "police man" in Germany [1]. @community: What id your opinion
about "virtualClearancePoint"?
