Information About Using the Interface for FBS-Users

Navigation: Information About Using the Interface for FBS-Users

The following requirements are necessary on the FBS side to be able to import data via railML:

•The FBS-railML interface (version 2) must be purchased or rather activated for the iPLAN installation used. Higher railML versions (2.3 - 2.5) are usually possible, as they are largely compatible with railML 2.2. If you are unsure, please contact iRFP with reference to the concretely required source or target software of the data exchange.

•You will find further information on installation and updates at:

•The railml-file to be imported must have been generated by a railML export interface of a verified railML conversion application.

•All network object windows (graphic timetables, circulation plans etc.) in the FBS network file used as import target, must be closed.

•The FBS-railML import interface (unlike the export interface) does not allow detailed infrastructure data exchange at the current status (June 2022). The timetable data is imported as trains. Nevertheless, the railML import file used must also contain selected infrastructure data in order to be able to transmit the routes of the trains as well as their public stops.

•The timetable data contained in railML files do not differentiate according to the usual layers in iPLAN. When importing the data to FBS, exactly one target layer can be determined for all trains concerned. If necessary and sensible, the data exchange should be run through several times (i.e., for a different target layer in each case).
