Dear all,

just to explain the situation/solution in railML3:

For movableElements like switches or crossings we have the reference by
<hasGaugeClearanceMarker> to the physical marker near the track. However, for
the interlocking purpose this info is not sufficient as one would need the
explicit branch, which is possibly fouling the gauge of the other track.
Therefore there is the reference <hasFoulingTrainDetector> in addition.

Once you have defined the clearance point it is fixed with the related clearance
gauge. So if you would change using a different clearance gauge then you have to
redefine the clearance point. Beside the physical marker this would also affect
the interlocking.


Best regards,
Joerg v. Lingen - Interlocking Coordinator
