Hi everyone,
My name is Peter Vancsa, I am a software-engineer with Siemens in Braunschweig and working on importing a railML-3.1 file into an integrated engineering solution.
I am still somewhat a railML beginner, so i inspected the provided 'Simple Example' file from this site in detail to deepen my understanding of railML-3.1.
I believe I understand already several parts of railML, though it is not yet with 100% confidence that my understanding is correct.
So, here are a few questions regarding the 'Simple Example' file:
In the example file all bufferStops that are placed at the beginning of a netElement (so pos=0.0 or basically intrinsicCoordinate=0) have the appicationDirection set to "reverse". I was expecting this to be the same for all switchesIS as well, however switchIS "swi03" (69W04) is placed with applicationDirection="normal". Is this a mistake or why is that so?
Application direction "normal" corresponds to "up" and "reverse" corresponds to "down". Does "normal" mean the direction of the edge (from intinsicCoordinate 0 to 1)?
And lastly, the netElement ne_b05 has a length="200", and two intrinsicCoordinates "0" and "1", but no linearCoordinate on any of the two intrinsicCoordinates. Was this forgotten here? I expected an edge to be always defined between two points, either 2 linearCoordinates so that the difference on measure corresponds to the length, or 1 linearCoordinate and the length (which allows the computation of the other one).
