The overarching objective of the EU Directive 2012/34/EU is to establish a single European railway area. Contributing to this objective is the requirement for improved cooperation of infrastructure managers and ‘cross-border agreements’ to enable seamless operations for train paths crossing borders, or ‘handover points’ (defined in [1] as “the point where legal responsibility changes between the infrastructure mangers”).
The photo shows an example of a ‘handover point’ at the Germany-Czech Republic border on the Děčín to Dresden-Neustadt 6240 railway line. This line is operated by two different rail operating companies, Správa železnic in the Czech Republic and Deutsche Bahn Netz in Germany, meaning there is a change in infrastructure managers.
In the source code, shown below, 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).
<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">
It is important to ensure the correct definition of the railway tracks. Every railway track should have an <ownerChange> at the beginning of the track positioned at a zero coordinate. Additional semantic constraints apply for the <speedChange> [2].
