General file contents

Navigation: Operating the Interface > General file contents

This window provides an overview of various metadata of the railML file to be read in and allows some basic settings to be made.

In principle, a railML file can only be imported if its timetable period (at least partially) matches that of the FBS network. Should this not be the case, the user of the programme is informed of this with an error message.

Station register of the railML-data

The selected station register is used to match the identification noted there with the corresponding abbreviations in FBS. The respective identifications (abbreviations) of operating points are recorded in the different station registers. Here you can select, on which station register the abbreviations of the operation points in the railml-file are based on. The programme automatically selects the register that occurs most frequently in the railML file. When matching the train routes, the name of an operating point is ignored and only the abbreviation in FBS and the selected station register matter.

A list of the already established registers and their origin can be found in the railML Wiki entry "Registers".

Type of operating times to be imported

Similar to the station register, the time scope to be read in from the railML file is selected here. The most common time scope is "scheduled" and reflects the operational timetable times of the trains. The time type "published" reflects published timetable date and can be used, for example, if only those times are available.

Further information on time scopes and their meanings can be found in the railML Wiki - entry "Times".
