Hi,
in railML3 we use a lot of referencing to other elements in order to enhance the
information. In <assetsForInterlocking> we have at the moment only references
into <functionalInfrastructure> of IS when there is a physical representation of
the element at trackside. All other references are strictly inside IL part.
However, there are some physical items which are not in IL but would needed
there without adding additional information, e.g. <bufferStop> would be used as
<routeExit>.
Subsequently it is not always that way the references from functional
interlocking items like <route> are limited to IL elements. Thus it was
suggested to have for each element in <functionalInfrastructure> of IS a
counterpart in IL. This would limit the area of possible reference targets.
SAMPLE:
bufferStop <-- bufferStopIL
signalIS <-- signalIL
routeStart --> signalIL
routeExit --> bufferStopIL
Would you appreciate this change or would you strictly avoid such "auxiliary"
elements without any additional information?

Dear all,
in consequence of the first post about this topic in the interlocking schema the element <trackIL> was introduced, which
has a 1:1 relation to a <track> in IS. At the same time a <tvdSection> has a 1:n relation to <trackIL>.
The second step to cleanup the references in IL shall be the introduction of <endOfTrack> which defines a limit of the
signalBox either by a physical "obstacle" (bufferstop) or the end of supervision by a final trainDetectionElement. This
<endOfTrack> element would be needed as possible <routeExit> or <routeEntry>.
The proposal is to have a type attribute with enum (physical, endOfSupervision) and a <refersTo>@ref into IS depending
on the named type, i.e. "physical" ref to <bufferStop> and "endOfSupervision" ref to <trainDetectionElement>.
See also attached illustration.
