Having Directive 2012/34/EU opening of the market for domestic passenger transport services by rail and the governance of the railway infrastructure and single European railway area implies that every country in Europe has a set of interoperable infrastructure managers. Sometimes infrastructure of different managers borders each other and a train can pass them.
Excerpts of source code addressing above problem may look like follows. In code there are two tracks belonging to two infrastructure mangers. Ownership is represented by <ownerChange> elements. Further information is given in the <infrastructureManager> element and corresponding code list (link to the railML® website).
Please be aware of correct definition of the railway tracks. Every railway track should have an <ownerChange> at the beginning of the track positioned at zero coordinate. Also, the additional semantic constraints apply like for the <speedChange> [1].
<metadata> <organizationalUnits> <infrastructureManager id="ima01" code="DBN"/> <infrastructureManager id="ima02" code="SZD"/> </organizationalUnits> </metadata> .. <trackBegin id="tb01" pos="0" absPos="0"> <ownerChange id="och01" pos="0" absPos="0" infrastructureMamagerRef="ima01"/> .. <trackEnd id="tb01" pos="500" absPos="500"> .. <trackBegin id="tb02" pos="0" absPos="500"> <ownerChange id="och02" pos="0" absPos="500" infrastructureMamagerRef="ima01" name="Bahnverw.grenze Bad Schandau Gr"/> .. <trackEnd id="tb02" pos="500" absPos="1000">
Real-world example of this concept can be found in the OpenRailwayMap defined for the Děčín–Dresden-Neustadt railway 6240 line. This line is operated be two railway operation managers Správa železnic of Czech Republic and Deutsche Bahn Netz of Germany. Schöna is a German railway station and Dolní Žleb is a Czech one.
This example can be used to represent handover point as it is defined in [2]: “Point where legal responsibility changes between the infrastructure mangers. This can be but does not have to be in conjunction with a state border”.
