Dear ORM community,
today and yesterday, I spent quite some spare time on completing the ORM train protection
tagging scheme. This was done by a thorough Wikipedia search in various languages and by
knowledge which I acquired from two railway signalling courses at my university. The
result is a Train Protection Systems section which is now separate from the Tracks
section. It contains much more systems and system levels/versions than before, shows the
systems full name in the native system language and grants every system a Wikipedia link
with background information.
With 33 systems, up to 6 versions per system and the possibility of dual signalling, I am
worried about the current legend of the signalling layer. However, I also have some ideas
to reduce the complexity. In order to prevent a technical discussion through email,
I'd like to propose to have a video conference on the signalling layer. It would in my
opinion be ideal, because it can be combined with giving each-other updates on
mapping/coding projects and planning. I hope to see your opinions on this approach. Thank
you in advance.
Kind regards,
