Best Practice / Examples

The work zone is an area that separates a part of the network for special purpose. The assets of the area are not available for normal operation or train traffic. The activation and deactivation is controlled by special means in order to ensure the safety of any workers in that zone. Subsequently such work zone cannot be revoked without proper action and consent from the outside staff.

A work zone is mainly activated for the protection of working gang from train traffic. There is normally no intention for any train movement inside it. If there are any movable elements released for local operation this will be for support of the working process (maintenance) only. The limits of the zone are defined by the end of TVD sections, i.e. axle detection points or insulated rail joints.

• <activationLock> – This is the reference to a lock or several of them which are used to activate the work zone and ensure its deactivation only after the workers did return the key/token into the lock.
• <switchInPosition>– The reference to any switch which shall be in a particular position for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
• <derailerInPosition>– The reference to any derailer which shall be in a particular position for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
• <crossingInPosition> - The reference to any movable crossing which shall be in a particular position for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
• <detectorInState>– The reference to any detector which shall be in a particular state for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
• <signalWithAspect>– The reference to any signal which shall show a particular aspect for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
• <keyLockInState>– The reference to any key lock which shall be in a particular state for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
• <levelCrossingInState>- The reference to any level crossing which shall be in a particular state for this work zone together with the protection side and the level of enforcement.
  • @protectingSide – This marks whether the element is protecting the area from inside, outside or none.
• <releasedForLocalOperation> – This is the reference to any movable elements within the work zone which can be locally operated by keys/buttons located nearby.
• List of buttons for local operable assets – not yet implemented
  

🗒️ restrictedAreas restrictedArea is an abstract class, which is instantiated for any kind of special controlled area within the network. It will be than enriched by the particular classes of the area. The elements available for each instantiation are: <isLimitedBy> – This is the reference to track assets forming the limits of the defined area. The references shall be made preferable to interlocking elements. <trackAssetInArea> - This is the reference to track assets located inside the defined area. The references shall be made preferable to interlocking elements. These elements give supplementary information for definition of the area as the pure limits might not be sufficient. @belongsToParent - This optional attribute contains a reference to an element of the same type which is superior to this element, i.e. this is used for aggregation of several areas of same type.
