Projects

The Project level is the highest organisational level in trenoLive. It contains:

  • Stop Margins
  • Travel Margins
  • OCP groups
  • Power supplies
  • Speed types
  • Registers
  • Styles
  • Trainsets
  • Trainset Parts

Stop Margins​

Stop margins are defined with or without a predefined "Default" value. If a default value is inserted it gets applied automatically at each entry of type "Any stop". Stop margins are sorted by the Application order.

Travel Margins​

Travel margins are defined with or without a predefined "Default" value. If a predefined value is inserted it gets applied automatically at any non-interpolated entry. Travel margins are sorted by the Application order. Negative values can be excluded or allowed for certain travel margins. If the travel margin is used for import processes to balance eventual differences between arrival/departure times and the Minimum run time (MRT) the "used for deviations" need sto be activated.

OCP groups​

OCP groups are an characteristic of each OCP. They are defined by each client and railway and usually describe the function of a certain OCP. They can be used to group OCPs together and (not) visualise them in the graphic timetable.

Power supplies​

Power supplies are used to define different energy sources. The power supplies get referenced by the trainset and the microscopic infrastrcucture model, allowing for checks on appropriate power supplies available on the full path of the train.

Speed types​

Speed types describe the speed profiles that different types of trains can run on. Classic examples of speed profiles are tilting trains. The speed types get referenced by the trainset and the microscopic infrastrcucture model, allowing for accurate running time calculation.

Registers​

Registers are additional naming schemes, in addition to Code and Name, and can be defined for certain elements. The individual element of a register is called designator. They are relevant to describe elements with additional designators, such as OCP IDs or different naming for passenger information systems. They can also be relevant for import processes.

Registers can have a number of characteristics:

  • Mandatory - The designator is mandatory.
  • Globally unique - The designator needs to be unique in the infrastructure model or scenario
  • Locally unique - The designator needs to be unique within the element. This is only relevant for registers of secondary elements, such as Line track, Edge track, OCP platforn, OCP track.
  • Multiple - Multiple designators can be present.

Styles​

Styles allow for a flexible configuration of colours and other forms of representation and visualisation within the program. They are relevant for the graphic timetable.

Trainsets​

The trainsets are the different types of vehicles that can be used to operate the train. The trainset describes already the full formation, including eventual locomotives, coupled EMU/DMU or wagons. The trainset can consist of one or more trainset parts. The trainset can be further detailed in the trainset informations with the path segments section in the train editor.

The trainset has different characteristics, such as a minimum turnaround time (MTT), passenger capacity, speed type, length and brake weight percentage (BWP). Each trainset has a corresponding element in the microscopic model including traction and braking capabilities, to precisely calculate the running times. Other information, such as the length and MTT are used within trenoLive to check the planned timetable for planning mistakes and feasibility.

Trainset parts​

The trainset parts are the individual, operationally non separable pieces that form a train. They are especially relevant for EMU or DMU that can be coupled and split in daily operation to for double units or triple units. The information is referenced in the track occupation diagram to highlight unbalanced connections. It is also relevant for the rostering part of the planning process.
