Dear all,
if you are working with geoCoord elements in your RailML infrastructure
documents, the following might be of interest to you. We developed a
visualization tool to show the topological and geographical dependencies
of track elements defined in RailML infrastructure documents. It is a
public Web application on top of OpenStreetMap, and it is free of
charge. See the "tools" section of
http://www.collision-avoidance.org/rcas
if you want to give it a try. But be aware, there is not much level of
support we can give.
Kind regards,
Thomas Strang

Thank you for your interest in RailML and for sharing your application
with us. Unfortunately, the program didn't run as expected on my
computer. I downloaded the example file, started the application, opened
the example using the dialog box and then..... nothing.
I had two or three seconds of heavy CPU usage (probably the parsing of
the file) and that's it. I expected e. g. a browser tab to open up and
showing some OSM-graph or similar. Did I miss something?
Additionally, you might be curious to hear that we improved the
geographic references in the upcoming release of RailML. In particular,
we'll provide special elements to map arbitrary points on a <track> to a
geographic reference and we introduced EPSG-codes the unambiguously
define the used coordinate system.
The following documentation pages may be of interest to you:
http://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=IS:geoCoord (EPSG-codes)
http://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=IS:geoMapping (geoMapping)
In case you have any questions regarding the new features or if you need
further debugging information for my problem described above please
contact me.
Best regards,
Volker Knollmann
