Better term for "route" in a speed profile?
During the last railML conference (2013-03-06) in Berlin the term route in a speed profile was questioned.
This child element is for indicating special speed profiles between different neighbouring ocps no matter that the train uses one and the same infrastructure (e.g. tracks, switches). (see also #41 (closed) for implementation purposes)
Another term may be "path" that clearly distances from the IXL-specific "route".
- A "path" is more seen as a runway.
- A "route" is more seen as a secured runway.
From "GLOSSARY OF RAILROAD OPERATION AND CONTROL" (1):
ROUTE:: A path through an interlocking, along which an authorized movement is to be made.
