The Standardization of Data Exchange in the Euro-Interlocking Project
The „Data Preparation“ subproject is carried out within the framework of the Euro-Interlocking project. This subproject will make possible the in-creased use of IT tools for the new generation of interlocking specifications for the European railways. One of the main goals of the “Data Preparation” subproject is to define a standard, to become part of the Euro-Interlocking standards, for data ex-change between interlockings, which will then be used in the planning of European interlocking projects. The following article gives a brief overview of the “Data Preparation” subproject and presents the preliminary results of the work in regard to the „Interlocking Data File Format Standard“.
