RailTopoModel (original) (raw)

RailTopoModel is a systemic data model for describing the topology-based railway infrastructure as needed by various applications. The RailTopoModel has been initially developed under patronage of the International Union of Railways (UIC) and was released as International Railway Standard (IRS) 30100 in April 2016. It has been described as a common data model for the railway sector. RailTopoModel is currently continued by UIC as RailSystemModel, a re-branding resulting from the extension of its scope. On the other hand, RTM development (from RTM 1.2) went on as a fork iniitated by the railML community and managed by the organisation railML.org.
