Hello,
during our last meeting in Karlsruhe there raised the "Request for
enhancement" for clearer 'connection' elements in the 'ocp' context.
This topic was already touched by some threads in the forum.
The term "connection" is very misleading. In this context it is meant
for passengers/goods to change from one train to another. German term:
"Anschluss"
The 'circulation' branch serves for any vehicle connections/bindings.
There is currently no provision for staff connections/bindings. They
may be modelled as "passenger connections", that must be met in any
case.
For one 'ocpTT' there may be multiple 'connection' elements.
Each refers to a train.
(train or trainPart?)
Additional, there may be minimal and/or maximal connection times.
(maybe we need an equivalent transfer time matrix in the
infrastructure branch, regarding platform distances)
The 'connOperation' attribute shows the kind of dependancy between the
current train part and the referenced train/train part:
* none
* meet
* isWaitingFor
* isExpectedBy
* ...
Do these attributes fit for all "connection" purposes? Do we need
further attributes for some reason?
Does somebody provide a short but complete example (as XML file)?
(Joachim?)
Any hints, questions, remarks, comments, +/-1, welcome. :-)
Kind regards...
Susanne

Hello,
according to ticket #126, the following attributes are missing:
* connInfo (text)
* reason (commercial/operational)
* anyAttribute
If there is no further input, I would implement it this way.
Kind regards,
Joachim

I would like to avoid the duplication of the element's name.
'description' (some textual message) instead of 'connInfo'?
I would like to implement an open enumeration list for the 'reason'
attribute: commercial / operational / other:xxx
just my 2 cents...
Kind regards...

Dear all,
up to now, we (I mean: IVU) have not implemented the connection element.
But maybe we will at some point, and then the following would be, from
my point of view, good to consider:
* the terminus technicus we are talking about is "transfer connections"
* they come for different purposes:
** printout products
** online information systems
** instructions to drivers (AVL (de:RBL) systems)
* they have a priority and / or a maximal delay time
I don't know the purpose of the "reason" element but to me it looks
dubious. Maybe a "type" would be more appropriate and could have the
values "external" (for passenger information and printout) and
"internal" (for AVL systems). In fact, a further differentiation could
be needed for different types of printout products and information
systems, so maybe a free subtype element would be wise.
* For the "description" element I suggest the name "messageText" or
"infoText" as this is more specific.
* optional attributes "maximalDelayTime" and "priority" would allow to
specify how reliable these connections are. AVL systems use these
parameters.
And one more point: is the "trainRef" element intended for a reference
to a /train/? Shouldn't it refer to some ocptt? First, a connection may
be between two /different/ ocps (Berlin Hbf oben / unten), and second,
an ocp may be traversed more than once.
Best regards
--Andreas.

We like to reuse the existing "connection" element to be considered as
"transfer connections" but without renaming or lots of restructuring.
Therefore we planned to just introduce some new attributes for version 2.2
with a clearly defined purpose.

The purose of "reason" was to distinguish between these two main types.
* internal / commercial for printouts or online information systems
* external / operational for AVL systems
* other:xxx for further differentiation
I think "commercial/operational/other:xxx" is more specific than
"internal/external".

I like the name "messageText". This is appropriate for printouts and also
for the AVL system, indicating an instruction for the driver.
> * optional attributes "maximalDelayTime" and "priority" would allow to

We have already the two attributes "minConnTime" and "maxConnTime" that
could be used instead of "maximalDelayTime". The "priority" is only for
the AVL usage and is hard to define. I'd like to leave this for a future
version.

If we think of printouts, this wuould be part of the "messageText" like
"connection to IC 7411 on platform 7b". We could not reference an ocpTT
because there is no "id" to be referenced. I think a Reference to a
"train" is correct.
Kind regards,
Joachim

As far as I remember, the background for the 'connection' element comes
from the Timetabling Theories as taught for instance here in Germany:
connection = "fahrplantechnische Bindung" (zweier Züge!)
fahrplantechnische Bindung --> Anschlussbindung, Umlaufbindung,
Belegungsbindung, Personalbindung
All of these kinds of "fahrplantechnische Bindung" should then be mapped
to 'connections'. There is no distinction between external and internal as
the railway is seen as a whole. So should we do in RailML.
I agree with Joachim to avoid 'external/internal' as they could be
misunderstood as 'in RailML' or 'outside RailML', for instance only.

I agree with Joachim.

I think it is not only about print-outs. It is also about a reading
software being able to "understand" the connection - either because of
transferring it into another data model or doing some function with it (e.
g. calculating the connecting time or, like OpenTrack, simulating the
delay of the connecting service).
Concerning the problem that one OCP may occur several times at a train, it
may be left to the reading software to find the right instance (nearest
departure time or so). But with the problem of connections between
different OCPs it is not so easy. So, from my opinion, it would be good to
have at lease an optional ocpRef there.
>> I would like to implement an open enumeration list for the 'reason'

I would very much agree with Susanne.
Best regards,
Dirk.

Ok, but to my ears, a connection would be of some /type/ rather than it
would have a "reason".

Hmm, I read the description of these attributes in the wiki, but did not
come to the end that this was their intention. If maxConnTime is the
maximal delay, what then is minConnTime?

I agree for printouts, but this would not work for online connection
finders and AVL systems where a driver wants to see the connection the
relevant location.
You are right, the ocpTTs are not referencable, could you please open a
ticket for future versions?
Trainparts would be somewhat more precise than trains, and they have a
validity. Maybe a connection holds only on certain dates.
Best, Andreas.

Hi,
here is my conclusion for the enhancement of connection within version 2.2:
* messageText (string), optional
* connType (commercial, operational, other:xxx), optional
* ocpRef (Ref), optional
http://trac.assembla.com/railML/ticket/165
I shall implement it this way. Please check if this is sufficient for now.
The issue of referencing an ocpTT is important and has a lot of
implications. Tthat should be futher discussed and be introduced within a
version 3.0. I therefore opend a new ticket:
http://trac.assembla.com/railML/ticket/165
Kind regards,
Joachim

There is a typo, I think you wanted to cite the following URL:
http://trac.assembla.com/railML/ticket/126
Why not to implement the 'trainPartRef' instead of 'trainRef'? It is
much more specific as Andreas already mentioned.

Currently no ocpTT may be referred because of the missing "id" attribute
in the <ocpTT> element.
Wouldn't it be sufficient to refer to a certain 'trainPart' and an
'ocp'? A 'trainPart' may traverse a certain 'ocp' only once. If it
changes its direction this should be defined as a distinct 'trainPart'.
We currently speak about "heavy rails" not about tram systems where
turning loops are common. But anyway the 'trainPart' changes running
their.

The reference to a certain platform stays to be resolved with the above
mentioned ticket. But this is a more general topic: how to refer to a
certain platform inside the timetable?
Currently the string-typed attribute "trackInfo" in the <ocpTT> element
is used for this, but since railML 2.2 the infrastructure enables
defining platformEdges for tracks that may be referred from the
timetable.
Kind regards...

Hi,

Ok, I'm convinced.
A connection leads to a certain train. But more precisely to a certain
trainPart within a train. If this trainPart is used within several trains,
you will automatically have a connection to all of then. And a connection
that holds on a certain operatingPeriod only, is expressed by referencing
this special tainPart.
Therefore I will add a new "trainPartRef" within the still open ticket:
http://trac.assembla.com/railML/ticket/126
The existing (now redundant) "trainRef" is part of the existing version
2.0 and can't be renamed within 2.2. But we could declare it as deprecated
for 3.0 if this is the consensus.
Kind regards,
Joachim

I also agree. At least the difference may lay in the case two train parts,
scheduled to run coupled together, must run separate under operational
conditions. If you have a trainpart-relating connection then, it is clear
which separate train need to wait for the connection and which may "run
away". Having train-related connections, always all train parts would have
to wait, whether it was it makes sense or not.

Unfortunately this is nowadays wrong. A train(part) may "traverse" an OCP
more than once. I could mention plenty examples from practice, not only
from Germany. For short, only one example which you can easily find at
HAFAS: The CANTUS trains from Bebra to Göttingen and v. v., stopping two
times at Niederhone whith the same train number (24090, 24096 ff.). If you
like more examples: Don't hesitate to ask... ;-)
In former times, the local signalman and his books were the reasons why it
was forbidden that one train number happens more than once a day at one
station. There even was a special rule for that in the German rule book
(which by far wasn't able to avoid that it happened even in earlier times,
e. g. some trains from Leipzig to Görlitz, reversing at Dresden Hbf,
stopping two times in Dresden Neustadt).
Nowadays, it is very common in practice throughout many countries. It may
have to do that because of there are less local signalman, less books to
write or not enough train numbers or less knowledge about the rules...
Anyway, we have to handle it in RailML.
Best regards,
Dirk.

But this train reverses at Eschwege. That means there should be at least
two train parts in order to define the reversed vehicle order. [1] It's
unfortunately not yet described in the wiki page of trainPart. [2] :-(

It changes its running direction in Eschwege, that means "it reverses".

In the element vehicle/wagon/driversCab/ you may define the
'orderNumber' of the drivers Cab and its 'position' (rear, middle,
front). That could only serve for your mentioned MUs, of course.
Otherwise the orientation is given by the order of vehicles in a
formation.

You don't have to give the formation reference at all, yes. But if you
define one train part for both "vehicle orientations" there may be two
railML-representations of the same train.
That is something the railML-Infrastructure-world has to deal with every
day (short vs. long tracks). ;-)

No questions would arise if we would model this case with two train
parts. ;-)

Dear Susanne,
> It changes its running direction in Eschwege, that means "it reverses".
please do not mix the "trainReverse" attribute with the
"orientationReversed" attribute.
- "trainReverse" is an attribute of <ocpTT>,
- "orientationReversed" is an attribute of <formationTT>.
If only the train reverses but not the formation, there is currently no
need to separate two <trainParts>.
In the example of Eschwege with one MU, only the train reverses but not
the formation. So until today: No need for two <trainParts>.
---
With your suggestion to _enforce_ two train parts if a train reverses
(which I would welcome as mentioned in the previous post), the situation
changes:
We could now declare "trainReverse" being obsolete since we could always
use "orientationReversed" (also for single MUs by definition) because we
always will have to have a new <trainPart>.
So: If your suggestion will be accepted (by Joachim and others), I
herewith plead for declaring "trainReverse" obsolete to reduce redundancy.
Best regards,
Dirk.

I'm sorry, it's only my understanding of this situation. As you wrote in the
next posting, it should be accepted by the current railML community and
at least by Joachim, as timetable coordinator.
We will speak about this aspect next week at the conference in Zurich.
I would be interested in other examples that match the problem of
passing one ocp several times.
Kind regards...

I'm sorry, you're right. I missed the attribute 'trainReverse' in the
'ocpTT' element.

I'm sorry, I don't see the difference between a train and a formation
reverse.
Do you mean "Lok umsetzen" with "formation reverse"?
The wiki says about the 'trainReverse' in 'ocpTT' (since 2011-05-10):
trainReverse : is true if train changes direction at this station
(xs:boolean, optional). After this station the
rollingstock which is referenced in formationTT changes
order. This attribute could also been set at the first
station, indicating that the formation starts in the
reversed order.
It is currently not forseen to split the train part because of the
reversing - yes.

I did not mention more than one! ;-)
Here it is:
The night train Amsterdam - Warsaw does not reverse at Köln Hbf: It goes
Düsseldorf - (line #2650) - Köln-Mülheim - Köln-Deutz -
(Hohenzollernbrücke) - Köln Hbf - Köln West - Köln Süd - (Südbrücke) -
Köln-Kalk - Köln-Mülheim - (line #2730) - Wuppertal.
So it passes two times through Köln-Mülheim and neighboring OCPs without
reversing between. (Actually, the aim of the action is to avoid reversing.)
Current train no. is EN 446/447. Current times are:
446: KKM 6.08 - 6.14 KK 6.17 - KKM 6.35
447: KKM 22.19 - 22.25 KK 22.28 - KKM 22.46
The interesting thing is: It actually does not go _back_ on its way
back... It always makes the circle anti-clockwise, never clockwise. So
both the trains to Amsterdam and Warsaw leave Köln Hbf in north-westerly
direction.
I'm aware that it has nothing to do with connections. It should only
clarify that nowadays a train may pass a station twice, even without
reversing. Concerning the connections, we seam to get a different solution.
Best regards,
Dirk.

But the train arrives Köln-Mülheim the second time "orientation
reversed", doesn't it? Though we nevertheless have to indicate that
aspect. :-(

Thank you for contributing this nice example. It would be interesting to
see it in railML without splitting into two train parts. Which problems
may occur regarding the timetable in general and rostering in special? I
currently would expect none, but there are every time surprises in the
details. ;-)

> Do you mean "Lok umsetzen" with "formation reverse"?
Of course not. Running ‘round with the engine does not reverse the
formation, it changes the formation.
---
Concerning the meaning of <ocpTT>.trainReverse:
---
It simply tells that the train(part) changes the direction - no matter
whether the formation changes, reverses or neither of both.
trainReverse with change of formation = e. g. running around with the
engine
trainReverse with reversing of formation = train(part) of several MUs or
push-pull train
trainReverse with neither of them = train(part) consists of a single
vehicle (MU or engine)
This information is mainly intended for passenger information (systems)
which sometimes print a sign like <-> to notify the passenger where the
running direction of the train changes.
---
Concerning the meaning of <formationTT>.orientationReversed:
---
It has nothing to do with a train changing the running direction. It
simply shall avoid the necessity to create each formation two times for
both orientations. A train does not need to change its running direction
for <formationTT>.orientationReversed:
Let’s say a train with the formation
1. propelling control car
2. 2nd class carriage
3. 1st class carriage
4. engine
runs all day between Airport and a place called Pirna. For the one
direction the <formation> is fine, but for the other direction - so for
half of the trains in total - the formation would have to be created a
second time:
1. engine
2. 1st class carriage
3. 2nd class carriage
4. propelling control car
To avoid this, the attribute <formationTT>.orientationReversed can be used
at every second train.
Please note: None of the trains do ever change its running direction
during a single run - as in practice between Airport and Pirna.
Until now, there was no need to use <formationTT>.orientationReversed at a
formation consisting of one vehicle only. This would have been paradox
since one cannot change the order of a list of one element.
---
> I'm sorry, I don't see the difference between a train and a formation
> reverse.
Additionally, one should be aware that <ocpTT>.trainReverse semantically
applies to the whole train while <formationTT>.orientationReversed applies
to the formation of one <trainPart> only. So, there is another way to
change the orientation of the formation of a whole train w/o
<formationTT>.orientationReversed: Each vehicle forms its own <trainPart>,
may be due to different operating days or so.
<train>
<trainPartSequence>
<trainPartRef ref=’TP1.1’ position=’1’>
<trainPartRef ref=’TP2.1’ position=’2’>
<trainPartRef ref=’TP3.1’ position=’3’>
</trainPartSequence>
<trainPartSequence>
<trainPartRef ref=’TP3.2’ position=’1’>
<trainPartRef ref=’TP2.2’ position=’2’>
<trainPartRef ref=’TP1.2’ position=’3’>
</trainPartSequence>
</train>
Obviously the train reverses between both <trainPartSequences> but there
would be no <formationTT>.orientationReversed at none of the <trainParts>
if each consist of one MU only.
(This refers to the current situation in RailML. It changes if we declare
<ocpTT>.trainReverse obsolete and declare
<formationTT>.orientationReversed to be used by definition as recommended
in the previous post.)
---
Summary:
1) A formation running w/o reversing in one direction (“forward”):
<ocpTT>.trainReverse: not used
<formationTT>.orientationReversed: not used
2) A formation of several vehicles running w/o reversing in the other
direction (“backward”):
<ocpTT>.trainReverse: not used
<formationTT>.orientationReversed: shall be used
3) A formation of several vehicles reverses direction w/o ‘running around’:
<ocpTT>.trainReverse: shall be used
<formationTT>.orientationReversed: shall be used
4) A formation of several vehicles reverses direction with ‘running
around’ of the engine:
<ocpTT>.trainReverse: shall be used
<formationTT>.orientationReversed: cannot be used since the formation
changes
To avoid no. #4, the engine may be put in an own <trainPart> so that #4
becomes “two times #3”. This reduces the total number of necessary
formations by trend.
Hope I was able to clarify the difference between trainReverse and
orientationReversed.
Best regards,
Dirk.

I'm sorry this idea is based on my misunderstanding of the current
situation. So what would be the pros and cons of changing the current
situation?
PROs:
* Unambiguous connection definitions
* "Redundancy reduction": only one place in the schema where to define
reversing of train parts and/or whole trains
CONs:
* Changing current implementations with no strong need

I think you got it!

To focus this: You are writing about the following possible change:

This would simply be a change of rule and declaring 'orientationReversed'
obsolete but no syntactic change.
> PROs:
> * Unambiguous connection definitions

> reversing of train parts and/or whole trains
I agree these PROs are correct.
> CONs:
> * Changing current implementations with no strong need
I'm afraid I have to add one CON: The current 'trainReverse' attribute
fits to the very common symbol <-> for reversing direction in timetables.
I guess many public information systems have to handle this information.
These public information systems do normally not handle train parts - a
train parts is an object not very common in public information. So by
deleting the 'trainReverse' attribute, we actually would reduce
redundancy, but also we would make it much more difficult to recreate the
'trainReverse' information: One would have to test if all formations of
all train parts have the 'orientationReversed' attribute negated and the
order of the train parts (attribute 'position') has turned around...
Well, now it is 2:2 on the PROs and CONs.
If I see the many redundancies we create right now in <infrastructure>, it
seams reasonable to keep this small redundancy here for the moment to ease
reading of the files for programmes.
Anyway, as written earlier I would agree to and welcome that change.
Best regards,
Dirk.

Many thanks for both of you for this long thread and all the clarification
which will indeed be very helpful for every outsider.
I appreciate to force the splitting in trainParts whenever the formation
changes, also for orientation changes.
>>> Can we then clarify that for RailML, there is the following rule:
>>> --> No ocpRef is allowed to occur more than one time in the same
>>> <trainPart>.
A forced splitting of trainParts whenever an ocpTT would occur several
times would be consequent. This would also solve the problem of
referencing the correct ocpTT within a trainPart
( http://www.railml.org/forum/ro/?group=2&offset=0&thr ead=72&id=247).

I would like to keep the 'trainReverse' attribute, for this purpose which
was also mentioned by T. Kauer (SBB) at the railML meeting. With the
forced splitting of trainParts, the 'trainReverse' would mainly occur at
the first ocpTT of a trainPart if you have any formations referenced. It
should therefore no longer be seen as automatically reversing the
formation. For a simple timetable information system (without dealing with
formations) it could still be used within a long trainPart to indicate the
symbol <->.

Joachim

I would also prefer this way of modeling instead of references to single
'ocptTT's from within a 'trainPart'.

It is some kind of redundancy, but it's a bit tricky to deduce it:
1. Find the commercial train, where this train part is used.
2. Look at the train parts at the previous trainPartSequence.
3. Look if the same formationTT is referred.
-> 'trainReverse' is true.
But if the formationTT refers some kind of general formation this
deduction may be false.
+1 for keeping "trainReverse"
Instead of allowing the 'trainReverse' attribute only in the first
'ocpTT' we may include it in the 'formationTT' element as this may only
occur once per 'trainPart'. This may be ensured by the XSD, but the
occurence of the attribute in the first 'ocpTT' element may only be
ensured by Schematron, not XSD.
That would mean, that both attribute 'trainReverse' and
'orientationReversed' will be in the same element, but with some kind of
different meaning. I like to explicitly point to it, instead of "hiding"
it in different elements:
* 'trainReverse' important for passenger information systems "<->"
* 'orientationReversed" referring to the definition of the formation in
the rollingstock subschema
There may be a trainPart with 'trainReverse=true' but with
'orientationReversed=false' because of an already reversed formation in
the previous "train part sequence".

I would be happy if the railML semantics would be covered by all
systems. That would mean, that already today a timetabling information
system has to split train parts if the formation changes, nevertheless
it does not know the formation type at all.

Dear Dirk Bräuer and the others,
in our case we need the trainReverse attribute to provide correct
destination information for the FIS (passenger information system) in
the several coaches / units of a train. Especially if there are 2 or
more trainparts running on the same day, the correct order is essential.
So I would suggest:

In all of our cases we get the formationRefs, so it we would expect the
trainReverse at the beginning of a trainpart where a formation is used.
Additionally for other "more simple" use cases a trainReverse at each
ocpTT would provide flexibility.

If you both agree, there are no objections from my side.

systems.:

This would mean to use case a) as a restriction of case b).

If the attribute 'trainReverse' occurs, it occours at the first <ocpTT>
indicating the symbol <-> for FIS purposes. This can't be checked within
the xsd.
The order of the vehicles could be reverted by 'orientationReversed' but
with no relation to the attribute 'trainReversed'.

Joachim

Hi,
in order to solve this issue we will prevent (by documentation) to have
two times the same ocpTT within one trainPart.
