Pl:OpenRailwayMap/Tagowanie

Ta strona zawiera opis tagowania OpenRailwayMap.

The tagging scheme below is kept highly generic in order to be applicable internationally. More information on specific details for certain countries (such as signals, operating procedures), including illustrated examples, are available at country-specific tagging.

Dla wielu tagów jest ustalona pewna domyślna wartość, która powinna być przyjęta przez aplikacje, gdy dany tag nie jest ustawiony — aplikacje powinny założyć, że domyślna wartość jest prawidłowa. Jeśli domyślna wartość tagu jest zgodna z rzeczywistą, nie musisz go dodawać, ale możesz to zrobić, żeby pokazać, że o nim nie zapomniałeś i żeby zapobiec konfliktom między aplikacjami.

Schemat tagowania

Infrastruktura

Tory

Każdy tor jest traktowany osobno. Dwutorowe linie muszą być oznaczone jako dwa osobne tory. Tagi takie jak tracks=* nie są uwzględniane przez OpenRailwayMap, ponieważ każda zmapowana droga jest traktowana jako pojedynczy tor.

Klucz	Wartość	Znaczenie	Opis	Domyślna wartość
railway	rail	Aktywny tor	Tor który jest używany w regularnym ruchu.
	proposed	Planowany tor	Planowany tor, ciągle w fazie projektowej (jeszcze nie budowany).
	construction	Tor w budowie	Można użyć construction=* do dokładniejszego opisu. Przyjmuje on wartość ustawianą dla railway=* np. railway=construction i construction=narrow_gauge.
	disused	Nieużywany tor	Tor ciągle istnieje, choć nie jest używany. Może być zarośnięty.
	abandoned	Rozebrany tor	Tor (bądź jego podtorze) jest wciąż widoczny, lecz nie może obsługiwać ruchu kolejowego. Pozostałości po nim stanowią nasypy, rowy, mosty i tunele.
	razed	Overbuilt track	A former track that has been built upon. While some remains might still be seen, the former route is subject to educated guesses for the most part.
	narrow_gauge	Wąskotorowy tor	Tor którego rozstaw jest mniejszy niż typowy dla tego kraju. Do zdefiniowania rozstawu użyj gauge=*. Dla torów z trzema szynami używamy tagu railway=rail a dwa rozstawy podajemy za pomocą gauge=*, odseparowane od siebie za pomocą średnika (np. 1435;1000).
	light_rail	Suburban train/City railway	City railway and tramlike underground or suburban trains. They mostly match a heavy train, but differ in power system, it's own signals and a special vehicle fleet (such as "S-Bahn" Hamburg and Berlin, Hamburger Hochbahn). It hardly crosses road traffic.
	subway	Metro	Podziemna kolej w większych miastach, zasilana głównie z trzeciej szyny. Posiada własne pojazdy i system sygnalizacji. Czasami także wychodzi na powierzchnię. Nie używaj tego tagu dla zwykłej kolei, która częściowo idzie pod ziemią!
	tram	Tram	Mostly overground on-street laid tracks. It's common that vehicles like motorcars can share traffic lanes with trams. Some special railways similar to trams might be also mapped using this tag. Larger parts of tram tracks can also go underground. Some tram routes also use ordinary railway tracks. These should me mapped as ordinary railway tracks.
	miniature	Miniaturowa kolej	Małe kolejki w parkach, na pokaz lub jako atrakcja turystyczna. Przeważnie wąskotorowe (do 600mm).
name	<nazwa linii>	Nazwa linii kolejowej	Nazwa linii kolejowej np. Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa. Używaj tego tagu tylko dla oficjalnych nazw. Nie powinieneś wprowadzać opisów takich jak Rzeszów - Stalowa Wola lub nazw torów wewnątrz stacji typu Tor 5. Zobacz Names#Name_is_the_name_only.
description	<opis linii>	Opis linii kolejowej	Nazwa linii kolejowej która jest bardziej opisowa niż name=* (zobacz Names#Name_is_the_name_only), np. Rzeszów - Stalowa Wola lub Tor 5.
ref	<numer linii>	Numer linii kolejowej	Numer referencyjny linii kolejowej która przebiega po torze.
railway:track_ref	<numer toru>	Numer toru	Numer toru wewnątrz stacji kolejowej.
historic	railway	Historyczny tor kolejowy	Powinien być używany razem z railway=disused, railway=abandoned, i railway=razed.	no
railway:preserved	yes/no	Preserved Railway Track	Heritage railways or railways which are operated with the aim to preserve the historical state (vehicles, buildings, signalling). Usually (but not necessarily) such tracks are operated by railroad museums for the purpose of tourism, although there are also lines with regular public transport with historic trains (e.g. Harz narrow gauge railways) or trolley routes. This Tag replaces railway=preserved.	no
usage	Uwaga: wewnątrz obszaru stacji kolejowej, używaj usage=* tylko dla głównych torów (nie dla siding, yard itd.). Dotyczy to także skrzyżowań i mijanek poza stacją kolejową. Zawsze używaj tych tagów tylko dla głównych torów. As an exemption, you may use usage=industrial on siding and yard tracks, and crossovers in industrial areas such as harbours and mines.
	main	Główna linia	Główna linia, przeważnie dwutorowa i zelektryfikowana. Używaj tego tagu tylko dla linii z wysoką maksymalną prędkością i dużym ruchem. Przejazdy kolejowe są zwykle na różnych poziomach.
	branch	Odgałęzienie	Odgałęzione linie. W większości są jednotorowe, niezelektryfikowane i z małą maksymalną prędkością. Przejazdy kolejowe często są na tym samym poziomie co tory.
	industrial	Linie przemysłowe	Linie te obsługują transport. W większości znajdują się w dużych portach lub obszarach przemysłowych. Często należą do tych firm. As an exemption, you may use usage=industrial on siding and yard tracks, and crossovers in industrial areas such as harbours and mines.
	military	Tory używane przez wojsko	Najczęściej znajdują się pomiędzy stacjami kolejowymi a składami amunicji.

Operator abbrevations are derived from the common abbrevations (DB, ÖBB, CFL, NS, SNCF, FS, PKP, …) as defined in Vehicle Keeper Marking Register. All these abbrevations are written uppercase!

System border at country border

The point where the operator of a track changes due to a country border. This is usually a more significant change than owner changes inside a country because the law changes, too.

If the system and owner change is exactly the same point as the country border, the owner change node is connected both to the railway track and the border.

Sygnały

Kilometer Signs/Mileposts

Signs designed to measure the length of a railway line. They should be entered as nodes on the tracks themselves. If the railway line has more than one track, it should be entered on each track. Only through tracks should be tagged, as that is what the signs measure (e.g.: do not tag sidings).

railway:milestone:catenary_mast	yes/no	Catenary Pole	Is the milepost attached to a catenary Pole	no

Signals

Signals are tagged as a point on the the track. So it is clear which track they belong to. It is reccomended to see country-specific tagging to use the specific tagging scheme for your country.

Important Hint: If a signal is tagged between two OSM-ways, both ways have to have the same direction. So it is possible for applications to detect the correct position.

Lokalizacje operacyjne

For English speakers, there is no real equivilent for the German term "Betriebsstelle", or Operating Sites. Since this scheme is made by Germans, it is important for mappers to understand what it means. "Betriebsstelle" in German is a railway engineering term that refers to locations on the railroad where special infrastructure is installed; this means Junctions, both Freight and Passenger Stations, among other things described in the section below. From herein, the word Betriebsstelle will not be used.

Operating Sites are to be mapped as a node in the center of the site. Optionally (though reccomended for information's sake), a relation can be used to encompass the entire site, which is described in the section below.

An overview for the way Operating Sites should me mapped is included below:

• The purpose of including Operating Sites is that they are needed in positioning a label on the map, to be used as a destination for routing applications, or to be used as a search result.
  • Normally, it is mapped as a node at the geographical center of the Operating Site.
  • Since the point of the node is for routing purposes, it can be acceptable to map the node somewhere else if placing it at the geographical center of the Operating Site will have adverse affects. Example: The geographical center is in the middle of water or a forest, or other such area.

• When mapping the area of the Operating Point through the appropriate relation, use the following standards:
  • Track towards an Operating Point (in the case of a Station) should start at the entry signals, signs on the track announcing the station, or the switch it originates from. For non-stations, use analogous landmarks to determine this.
    • In North America, knowing where to differentiate this could be a bit nebulous. Still, try and keep with the logic structure.
  • For the area perpindicular to the track(s), the outer limits should the the boundary of the railway property.
  • At least tracks, platforms, engine sheds, station buildings, signal facilities, and loading facilities should be included. Other facilities such as parking can be added at discretion of the mapper.

Additionally, you should map Stop Positions. These are then included in the aforementioned Operating Site relation. Interlockings are not Operating Sites.

Milepost information is not to be included in the Operating Site relation.

Rodzaje lokalizacji operacyjnej

Stacje / przystanki

Taguj używając węzła w środku stacji/przystanku (NIE dodawaj go do linii reprezentującej tor).

If a station is composed of two or more operational independent stations (e.g. two companies' station side-by-side, strictly separated, they should be mapped as two stations, each one should have its own node. For example, see Berlin Zoologischer Garten (S-Bahn/light rail in the north-west and heavy rail in the south-east). Stations which are operational part of another (mostly large) station are mapped as independent station and connected to their parent station using operation site relations. For example, see Köln Hansaring, which belongs to Köln Hbf (Cologne Central Station).

Stop positions

This is not neccisarily required, but can help routing significantly in the absence of other information. If you know where they are, map them. Tagging is based off of the Public Transport Schema, but was expanded to cover non-public transit as well. This should be mapped as a node ON the way of the track.

On stations and halts (wether with or without passenger trains stopping there) every track which may be tagged with usage=* should get a node with railway=stop. In addition, every track with a platform should get a node with railway=stop. If there is a node with public_transport=stop_position already, add railway=stop to this node.

On sidings one node per track before and after the siding should be tagged with railway=stop. The same applies for crossovers.

You can use following tags for stop positions:

Railway lines

Railway Lines are mapped with relations, and split between three categories that should not be mixed up: infrastructure, railway route, and train route. Infrastructure is based around the physical tracks. These are often expressed as branches for smaller lines, and in North America for larger lines, are often called Subdivisions. Another type is the railway route, which is the route of operation of trains (plural) over the infrastructure. The last relation is the train route, which is the route a specific train will take over the aforementioned railway route, showing in order the standard tracks it will take and where it will stop.

Railway Line

The physical railroad on which trains operate on. Way direction is not required (key:oneway should not be on the ways), and ways do not have to be added as members in any specific order. Only tracks are to be included in this relation. Only the mainline should be included, with sidings and spurs being excluded.

operator	<operator>	Operator	The operator of the platform.

If a track along one platform edge has multiple numbers (e.g. 4a and 4b because it is used by two trains at the same time), the platform can be mapped as multipolygon. Tags which were tagged at the area should be transferred to the multipolygon relation. The platform edges parallel to the tracks are tagged with railway=platform_edge and ref=<track number>.

If the platform is divided into sections (A, B, C, …) to describe which carriage stops at which section, you can map a nodes at the section signs onto the platform edge and tag it with railway:platform:section=C.

Firmy z podłączeniem do szyn

Factories, industrial plants, or other companies that have railway access. Please tag all buildings at the factory as having rail connections If the building exists previously, please just add the below tags, if they aren't already present. The tracks themselves should be tagged with usage=industrial. The purpose of all of this is to specifically highlight these buildings in ORM.

The following tags are important to OpenRailwayMap rendering industrial sites specifically:

Słupy trakcyjne można mapować za pomocą tagu power=catenary_mast.

Izolator sekcyjny

Izolatory to punkty na trakcji lub szynie elektrycznej, które rozłączają dwa obwody elektryczne.

Klucz	Wartość	Znaczenie	Opis	Domyślna wartość
railway:electricity	joint	Izolator sekcyjny	Ten punkt na trakcji lub szynie elektrycznej rozłącza dwa obwody elektryczne.
railway:electricity:jumpering	jumpered/possible/no	status mostkowania	Opisuje domyślny stan tego izolatora. Użyj jumpered, jeśli ten izolator przeważnie nie rozłącza dwóch sekcji. Użyj possible, jeśli ten izolator przeważnie rozłącza dwa obwody elektryczne, ale mogą być zmostkowane, jeśli jedno ze źródeł zasilania ulegnie awarii, lub pociąg elektryczny ulegnie awarii w izolowanej sekcji. Użyj no, jeśli ten izolator nigdy nie może zostać zmostkowany.

Sekcje neutralne

Sekcje torowiska, gdzie trakcja jest uziemiona (najczęściej przy izolatorach) i gdzie wyłącznik główny musi zostać wyłączony, powinny zostać otagowana jako railway:main_switch_off=yes.

Sekcje torowiska, gdzie pantograf musi zostać opuszczony

Sekcje torowiska, gdzie pantograf musi zostać opuszczony (np. ruchome mosty) powinny zostać otagowane jako railway:lower_pantograph_section=yes.
