Note Brian's email below (which didn't go to the list) The only brown routes I could spot were named after a railway service. I'm not sure it entirely knows what it is, but it's not a coding of the infrastructure:
1) Between Duisberg and Oberhausen VRR (ie the local transport network- not everything is sponsored by Deutsche Bahn! VRR is the equivalent of Centro; the actual operator is somebody else again) RB36 (RegionalBahn - ie a local train, not part of the S-Bahn system, probably a diesel 3-car service) 2) Dusseldorf Airport Skytrain, again sponsored by VRR. This looks like an isolated line, but it still looks like it's the service being tagged, not the infrastructure. Attaching these relation types to infrastructure is definitely "tagging for the renderer" Services break down (in my experience) into roughly the following categories: Frequent stopping services Infrequent stopping services Outer commuter services (only in large cities) Semi-fast medium-distance services Fast long-distance services (usually, though not always, with one end of the route dominant) Very fast long-distance services (ie TGV) Richard ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Prangle <bpran...@googlemail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 11:42 AM Subject: Re: Railway route relations To: Richard Mann <richard.mann.westoxf...@googlemail.com> Hi Richard Thanks for explaining the acronyms. It's obvious when you see them explained! What I'm thinking of proposing for the public transport map we're building in Birmingham and might serve as a template for the rest of the UK, in order to for it to fit in the opnvkarte schema is: Continue mapping the physical infrastructure ( i.e Strategic Route Nos) as railway relations( shows brown in opnvkarte). This will fit in with what Joss Smithson is doing on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:JossSmithson/UK_railways. Although there might be an argument to have most of this information as tags on the existing ways. Use S-Bahn relations for suburban and rural (i,e "local,stopping") services which will show as green Use Train relations for long distance routes (regional and national) which will show as yellow I'll also contact Melchior Moos who is repsonsible for opnvkarte to see if this fits (or if he has any plans to differentiate between regional and national(international) train services regards Brian
