Dear all,
there seems to be a general issue when transforming a track plan into railML:
1) For an 'ordinarySwitch' we have in IS the elements 'leftBranch' and 'rightBranch'. Just from the netRelations it
seems not really possible to decide which is one of the both branches. How would you solve the issue?
2) For a 'doubleSwitchCrossing' we have in IS the elements 'straightBranch' and 'turningBranch' but in IL we need to
split into two normal switches which again have 'leftBranch' and 'rightBranch'. Could this be solved just from the
topology information? How would you do this trick?

Dear all,
in-between I had a discussion about this topic with some users and want to add
the outcome here for your info.
The attached pictures show the 3 steps of evolution from simple switches to a
double slip crossing if you go into interlocking domain.
step01: For a simple switch one needs to do a geometrical check in order to find
out what's right and left of the deviating branches,
step02: This is more an intermediate state for illustration. The two switches
are a bit superimposed (not yet a real double slip but to show the evolution).
Here the determination right/left shall be the same as in step01.
step03:The third step is the final superimposition but if you think of two
simple switches making the picture then the decision for right/left shall be
under the same rule.
The picture "switches01" shows the net plan for an example of double slip switch
(SLIP SWITCH Dsw02):
1) select from straightBranch one with starting netElement
nr_ne5ne12_dsw7 -> ne5
2) connection straight -> ne12
3) connection turning -> ne6
4) geometrical check: ne6 is right of ne12
rightBranch=ne6, leftBranch=ne12
5) select the other end of the straightBranch -> ne12
6) connection straight -> ne5
leftBranch=ne5 (due to symmetry)
7) connection turning -> ne2
rightBranch=ne2
similar procedure for SLIP SWITCH Dsw04:
1) nr_ne9ne11_dsw10 -> ne9
2) straight -> ne11
3) turning -> ne6
4) geometrical check: leftBranch=ne6, rightBranch=ne11
5) ne11
6) straight -> ne9, rightBranch=ne11
7) turning -> ne10, leftBranch=ne10
