Autoexport from the XML-Schema for element IS:operationalPoint of railML® version 3.2 UML-visualization of IS
Documentation	The OperationalPoint defines a point in the railway network that is essential for railway operation. Typical examples for railway operational points are stations, block signals or stopping points. Operational points allow an interaction between the railway operator and the train driver.

*Notice: Elements may have different parent elements. As a consequence they may be used in different contexts.

Aspects that are only relevant with respect to one of several parents should be explained exclusively in the documentation of the respective parent element.
