Large-capacity profiles BLS car trains

Brief Description

All car tunnel trains have profiles that describe how large, long or heavy a vehicle may be. In the case of BLS, two different profiles are used. One large-capacity profile and one standard profile. All other car tunnel trains in Switzerland only have one profile.

Functional Description

Car tunnel trains include the ATZ offer category. The timetables for these can be found in separate HRDF files (e.g. 2024). The large-capacity profile GF cannot currently be output there. The corresponding train numbers are therefore specified in the corresponding data record. The profile is set before being imported into OJP. If BLS supplies other train numbers, they are imported.

Technical Description

All processing is carried out only for BLS (GO No. 33).

The file contains the following fields

FieldDescription
_idPure ID is not evaluated.
TrainNumberTrain number of trains with large-capacity gauge (offer notice GF)
DayType17 stands for each day. The value in this field is ignored when used in OJP. I.e. all trains of this train number are labelled with GF in all variants.
TypeThe offer category. Always ATZ here
LineThe route in question. Mostly Kandersteg–Goppenstein.

In FPLAN, operator 33 is added for all these trains with the corresponding TrainNumber and operator 33 and then loaded into the OJP:

*A GF

This will be done directly by INFO+ during the final expansion. However, this is expected to take until 2026.
