Dear railML infrastructure forum,
This posting contains the discussion to an extension towards the
tunnel
In most runtime calculation software the tunnel resistance factor is calculated. We suggest to indicate a simple tunnel resistance factor (A) for the simple additional tunnel resistance formula: F(tun)=AxV^2 [V]=km/h
The element <tunnel> is extended with the new attribute @NO:tunnelResistancefactorA [datatype integer].

railML.org philosophy so far was to primarily model explicit
infrastructure parameters and to derive other parameters where possible.
The tunnel resistance factor is a secondary parameter that is influenced by:
* the ratio of train cross section and tunnel cross section
* the length of the tunnel
* the roughness of the tunnel wall
The tunnel wall roughness is given by the attribute <tunnel>@kind, where
the wall material (natural stone, quarrystone, brick, concrete) can be
specified. The attribute <tunnel>@length defines the length of the
tunnel. The tunnel's cross section area is given with the parameter
<tunnel>@crossSection. Taking into consideration that the train's cross
section area can be derived from the clearance gauge profile, all
parameters that are required for calculating the tunnel resistance
factor are available.
However, calculating a tunnel resistance factor remains complex. So, I
see two options for improvement: Either, the formula for calculating the
tunnel resistance factor is provided in the railML wiki (see [1]) or an
attribute for a calculated tunnel resistance factor is introduced. The
latter solution allows for applying different formulas for calculating
the tunnel resistance factor while the first solution would
unambiguously define the way to calculate the factor.
Dear community, what are your preferences?

Dear Christian and Torben,
> Dear community, what are your preferences?
I can of course not write for all the community... ;-) But possibly you
do not expect a consolidated answer. At least, I have considerable
experience with tunnel resistance.
As written in both of your posts, the tunnel resistance is (as far as I
know) represented by a factor which increases the "normal" air
resistance. (The tunnel resistance is a special kind of air resistance.)
To be exactly, the air resistance is represented by the formula Fw,air =
0,5 roh cW A v² and the tunnel resistance raises the cW of the vehicles.
I totally agree with Christian that this factor depends on the three
named parameters, especially on the ratio of train cross section and
tunnel cross section, also by the ration of train length and tunnel
length. I am convinced that all necessary values can be modelled in
railML 2.x.
I would see no advantage in a rather "empiric" solution like
> resistance formula: F(tun)=AxV^2 [V]=km/h
but if F(tun) is the (absolute) tunnel resistance (F=force in kN?), it
leads to the question: Does that tunnel resistance replace the air
resistance or is it additional?
I think for railML we should leave it by the attributes necessary for
the tunnel resistance factor, without any formula.
But this is, of course, my opinion only...
With best regards,
Dirk.

Dear all,
let me come back to the topic of tunnel restistance factors in order to decide whether they shall be implemented with railML 2.5:
I had a look at Dr. Hürlimann's PhD thesis, page 55f mentioned by Torben [1]. The tunnel resistance factor shall be used to calculate an additional resistance due to the tunnel parameters based on the equation R(tun)=A*v^2 where v describes the speed of the train in [m/s] and R(tun) is given in [N]ewton. Consequently, the tunnel resistance factor A shall be given in [kg/m]. As described in [1], for a train travelling outside of a tunnel, R(tun)=0 applies.
So, considering that we will put all the required background information (as mentionned in [1]) into the railML wiki, do you have any doubts to add a new attributes <tunnel>@resistanceFactorPassenger and <tunnel>@resistanceFactorFreight? A Trac ticket #426 [2] has been filed for solving the issue. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Dear all,
as there has been no objecting feedback, I concluded the discussion on this topic. The proposed attributes have been implemented in the schema files of upcoming railML 2.5 as described in Trac ticket #426.
