OpenRailwayMap/Tagging in Sweden
Tracks
General
General tags in Sweden are:
Milestones
The following tags might be sufficient:
- railway=milestone
- railway:position=* VALUE in km, decimals separated with "."
Track gauge
Heavy rail and trams use standard gauge:
Roslagsbanan is narrow gauge:
Electrification systems
The following electrification systems are used in Sweden:
Non-electrified
DC-Tracks
Roslagsbanan:
Tram lines:
Stockholm metro:
AC-Tracks
All heavy rail lines:
- electrified=contact_line
- voltage=15000
- frequency=16.67 (mains frequency 50 Hz divided by 3, so really 16 2/3 Hz)
Öresund Bridge:
Train protection
With manual train protection
With Swedish ATC (=Automatic Train Control)
With ETCS
Signalling
Traffic side
All lines have bidirectional signalling, with the signals on double track lines being placed on the outside of the tracks. Left-hand traffic is used most lines, however right-hand traffic is used on lines in the Malmö area south of this point and on the branch line to Södertälje centrum.
Tram lines use right-hand traffic, with the exception of approximately the first 1 km of Nockebybanan from its terminus at Alvik.
General tags
These tags should be on every signal:
- railway=signal
- railway:signal:direction=(forward/backward) according to the direction of the way
- railway:signal:position=(left/right) according to the direction of the way
- railway:position:exact=365.913 where 365.913 is an example
Main signals
Main signals exist with two aspects (from top: green, red) or three aspects (from top: green, red, green)
- railway:signal:main=(SE:Utfartsblocksignal/SE:Infartssignal/SE:Mellansignal)
- railway:signal:main:form=light
- railway:signal:main:function=(exit/block/entry/intermediate)
Combined signals
These have, besides the functionality of a Main signal, also the function that they show the signal value of the next upcoming signal, as a distant signal.
They exist with four aspects (from top: green, red, green, white) or five aspects (from top: green, red, green, white, green)
- railway:signal:combined=(SE:Utfartsblocksignal/SE:Infartssignal/SE:Mellansignal)
- railway:signal:combined:form=light
- railway:signal:combined:function=(exit/block/entry/intermediate)
Main shunting signals
These have the function of a combined signal (as above) also combined with a shunting signal. They are only found on yards, never on the line.
- railway:signal:main=SE:Mellansignal
- railway:signal:main:form=light
- railway:signal:main:function=intermediate
- railway:signal:height=dwarf
Distant signals
Distant signals always have a flashing light.
They exist with two aspects (from top: green, white) or three aspects (from top: green, white, green)
Speed signals
Speed limit
- railway:signal:speed_limit=SE:hastighetstavla
- railway:signal:speed_limit:form=sign
- railway:signal:speed_limit:speed=*
Speed limit with upwards arrow
- railway:signal:speed_limit=SE:hastighetstavla med pilspets uppåt
- railway:signal:speed_limit:form=sign
- railway:signal:speed_limit:speed=*
Distant speed limit
- railway:signal:speed_limit_distant=SE:lägre_hastighet
- railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:form=sign
- railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:speed=*
Distant speed limit with ATC-överskridande
- railway:signal:speed_limit_distant=SE:atc_överskridande
- railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:form=sign
- railway:signal:speed_limit_distant:speed=*
