Abstract

In the rail industry, in order to reduce the cost of engineering of interlocking systems, there is a need to simplify the exchange of technical information between shareholders. RailML is an open source IT tool designed to standardize the exchange of data in various rail processes. Lack of standards for data structures and protocols requires the design and maintenance of several interfaces between applications. This approach is inefficient, time consuming and costly. Different requirements and new Interlocking areas impede the complete automation of the engineering design chain. RailML is based on markup language and uses the XML schema to define a new data exchange structure for data interchange between railway applications. In this paper, the RailML Standard markup language is used as the basis and exchange format for formulating the safe routes of the Tehran-Bafgh corridor in Zvaareh station. It can be used to formulate its safe pathways in design and testing.
