IS:weightLimit

Introduction

<weightLimit> is a base for determining <line>/@lineCategory.

🗒️ This article uses the unit label meter. As the reference for this Wiki is British English, the correct label is metre. Wherever the label meter occurs, it is meant equivalently to metre.

Autoexport from the XML-Schema for element IS:weightLimit of railML® version 3.3      UML-visualization of IS
Description	allowed weight of a train
Subschema	infrastructure
Parents*	weightLimits
Children	name (0..*), isValid (0..*), areaLocation (0..*), linearLocation (0..*), spotLocation (0..*), gmlLocation (0..*), networkLocation (0..*), designator (0..*), typeDesignator (0..*), elementState (0..*)
Attributes: axleLoad: generic type for weight/load values measured in tonnes (optional: tWeightTonnes : xs:decimal), meterLoad: generic type for load per meter values measured in tonnes per metre (optional: tMeterloadTonnesPerMeter : xs:decimal), id: the file-internal ID of the object (obligatory: tID : xs:ID): compare: Dev:Identities
*Notice: Elements may have different parent elements. As a consequence they may be used in different contexts. Please, consider this as well as a user of this Wiki as when developing this documentation further. Aspects that are only relevant with respect to one of several parents should be explained exclusively in the documentation of the respective parent element.
