Executive summary
The present document is part of the official deliverables of the IFC Rail Project (Phase I), as
shown in the picture below. Please refer to the IFC Rail – Context & Approach document for
further details.

Figure 1 - IFC Rail documents' structure

This document describes the content of the (UML) Conceptual Model produced by the IFC
Rail Project (Phase I). The Conceptual Model is a conceptualization of the data requirements
contained in the Requirement Analysis Report. The Conceptual Model is decoupled from the
later IFC specification, but it serves as a reference for the extension proposal of IFC. The
Conceptual Model is part of the greater Railway UML model, which also contains the IFC
extension proposal and the IFC mapping.

The Conceptual Model is organized in packages dedicated to each project domain: track,
signaling, energy, telecom, and common-shared. The track, signaling, energy and telecom
packages are further decomposed into the following sub-packages: structural (or physical),
spatial, and functional (this last one not being part of the project scope, and thus not
delivered). The structural sub-package contains only physical objects and it describes how
these objects are physically decomposed. The spatial sub-package contains spatial
concepts, and it describes how objects occupy space (places / volumes / zones). The
Conceptual Model includes only the objects that have the highest priority for the project, i.e.,
trackside and lineside objects.

In addition to the packages of the four domains, a specific package is dedicated to the
Common – Shared topics. This package contains:

 The identified shared and common concepts;

 Alignment proposal: which includes the conceptual representation of the alignment
geometry for Railway;
 LRS & Alignment: which includes a diagram to clarify the distinction between
Alignment as geometry curves and the Linear Reference Systems (LRS) that might
use those curves;
 Positioning: which includes the Data Types used to indicate explicitly the positioning
of certain Railway objects.

The modeling process followed rigid guidelines and conventions, that are also part of this
document.

The Conceptual model documentation is automatically generated from the UML model.

1 Introduction
The present chapter describes the structure of the Conceptual Model Report and its role
inside the overall process of the IFC Rail Project. In the next chapters are presented:

1. The context in which the present document fits, in order to understand its role in the
overall process of the IFC Rail Project;
2. The objectives of the Conceptual Model for the IFC Rail Project;
3. The framework upon which the Conceptual Model is built (set of rules used to create
the Model).

1.1 Context of the document

To capture the Rail Data Requirements of the Phase I, the IFC Rail Project adopted a model-
based approach. In particular, the object-modelling notation of UML (Unified Modelling
Language) is used.

The present document describes the content of the (UML) Conceptual Model produced by
the IFC Rail Project (Phase I). It is one of many documents produced during the Project, to
understand its hierarchy inside the overall process documentation see the following diagram
(highlighted in red).

Figure 2 - Overall process and relative documentation of the IFC Rail Project (Phase I)

The Conceptual Model Report (CMR) is made of two major parts, plus one annex:

1. The present introduction, which aims at providing background to the reader;

2. The content of the Conceptual Model itself, from the point of view of the Domains. It
includes the business Concepts expressed by the railway expert. This part is
automatically generated from the Model and it is organized in as follow:
 Five chapters, one per each railway domain;
o Inside each chapter, objects are grouped according to business
criteria. Such groups are reflected in the report as paragraphs;
- Inside each paragraph, a class diagram shows the Concepts
and the relationships among them;
- Also, a sub-paragraph for each Class illustrates the functional
description and, if applicable, a table showing the relationships
of Class itself;

Additionally, the CMR refers to the Data Requirements Report for a full understanding of the
business needs. The Data Requirements are also automatically generated. Please refer to
the Tool-chain paragraph of the IFC Rail – Context & Approach for further details.

1.2 Objectives of the document

The Conceptual Model serves as:

 Formalization of the Concepts that define a business domain (i.e. Track, Signalling,
etc.);
 Representation of the business requirements expressed by rail experts;
 Reference for the extension proposal of the IFC schema;
 Reference for mapping between rail Concepts and IFC Concepts;
 Reference for BIMQ mapping;
 Additional documentation to the IFC specification.

Also, it is important to note that:

1. The Conceptual Model IS NOT the simple replica of the Data Requirements
expressed by domain groups, but a conceptualization of them;
2. A conceptual model IS NOT a Product Breakdown Structure (PBS).

Since it is not possible to deliver the UML Model itself, the objective of the present document
is to reflect part of the content of the Model, allowing the reader to evaluate the quality of the
proposal.

1.3 Framework and Methodology
The aim of this paragraph is to explain the methodology adopted by the IFC Rail Project for
the Railway UML model. This is essential to understand the structure of the Model, and the
rules used to create and maintain it.

The Railway UML model is composed of two entities:

1. Conceptual Model, represents the business model of railway domains,

independently from IFC;
2. IFC Rail model, represents the IFC extension of the business model. It is realized by
two activities:
a. IFC extension proposal, in which extensions to the existing IFC schema are
proposed, based on business need;
b. IFC mapping, in which the business objects and relations are mapped toward
the IFC schema, both the existing and the proposed extension;

Note: evidence of this mapping activities can be found inside the IFC Candidate Standard
package. This package includes only the diagrams used to map railway concepts to IFC
concepts for the purpose of the IFC specification.

Figure 3 - Structure overview of the Railway UML model

Note: The Conceptual Model and the IFC Rail model are always referred to as two different
entities, although they are contained in one unique EA file.

© buildingSMART Railway Room page 12

IMPORTANT: the present document describes only a part of the Conceptual Model. As
planned, it includes objects in priority #1 (Trackside and Lineside objects).
For the following details:

- File extension and backward compatibility;

- Architecture or the Cloud model;
- Backup strategy;

please refer to the IFC Rail Modelling Guidelines (Internal document).

1.3.1 Model content

At the end of the IFC Rail Project (Phase I), the Conceptual Model will contain solely:

 Rail objects;
 Objects’ description;
 Objects’ attributes;
 Attributes’ description;
 Business relationship between objects;

It will not contain:

 Pictures;
 Multiple language translations;

At the end of the IFC Rail Project (Phase I), the IFC Rail model will contain solely:

 IFC Rail Spatial Structure entities;

 Mapping of Spatial Structure entities toward relative IFC entities;
 All IFC 4.1 entities;

All IFC 4.2 entities;

 All proposed IFC entities;

 Mapping of rail objects toward relative IFC entities (both 4.1 and proposed);

It will not contain:

 Mapping of rail properties toward IFC Pset & Qto.

NOTE: the content of the IFC Rail model is not described in the present document.

1.3.2 Package structure
The picture below represents the structure of the packages contained inside the Railway UML
model.

Figure 4 - Package structure of the Railway UML model, first level

On the first level there are 3 main packages:

 Domains: which includes one sub-package for each railway domain (Track, Energy,
Signalling, Telecom, and Common-Shared);
 IFC: which includes all IFC concepts (existing 4.2 schema, new IFC concepts
proposed by IFC Rail Project, Data Types);
 IFC Candidate Standard: which includes all diagrams used to depict the concepts
proposed as Candidate Standard for the Phase I.

Figure 5 - Package structure of the Railway UML model, with naming convention

© buildingSMART Railway Room page 14

For the following reasons:

 To help reading the UML model;

 To help identify the concepts that need to be mapped toward IFC.

Inside each domain’s package, the following sub-package organization is enforced:

1. domain name Structural (physical);

2. *domain name* Spatial;
3. *domain name* Functional;
4. _Workbench (WIP).

Figure 6 - Package structure of the Railway UML model, detail of domains' sub-packages

The purpose and content of such packages is the following. Each railway object is a unique
Concept inside the Conceptual Model, meaning it is described one time and for all inside the
Model. However, the same object can be seen under multiple points of view. To facilitate the
readings and comprehension of the Conceptual Model, three major modelling views are
adopted and encapsulated into the mentioned sub-packages.

The organization of the content of these sub-packages is subject to domains’ need and
peculiarities. The purpose and minimum requirement of the four packages are described in
the following table.

Common – Shared topics. This package contains:

 The identified shared and common concepts;

 *Alignment proposal: which includes the conceptual representation of the alignment
geometry for Railway;
 *LRS & Alignment: which includes a diagram to clarify the distinction between
Alignment as geometry curves and the Linear Reference Systems (LRS) that might
use those curves;
 *Positioning: which includes the Data Types used to indicate explicitly the positioning
of certain Railway objects.

* See the document RWR-Railway-WP2_RequirementAnalysisReport for details

Figure 7 - Package structure of the Railway UML model, detail of Common - Shared package

The second major package is the IFC one. It includes:

● IFC4x1exp: containing all IFC existing concepts (4.1 and 4.2 schema);
● IFC4xRailAddons: containing all new concepts proposed by IFC Rail Project;
● IFC-DataTypes: containing all existing IFC data types.

1.3.3 Naming convention

 All names, descriptions, notes of any element of the model are in English;
 Ifc prefix is forbidden in Conceptual Model;
 Regular case is used (no camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, nor else).

1.3.4 Colour-code
 In the Conceptual Model, elements are differentiated as follows:
o Spaces / Zones / Volumes (all non-product concepts)  WHITE background;
o Functional Spaces  Brown background;
o Functional Groups  Grey background;
o Alignment  Blue;
o Physical elements  Any background colour EXCEPT WHITE, BROWN,
GREY.
 Furthermore, notes in diagrams are represented according to this convention:
o Open notes or questions  Yellow
o Solved notes or general info  Green

© buildingSMART Railway Room page 17

1.3.5 Objects
 Rail objects are modelled as UML Classes;
 Element’s Name is the English name of the object (according to Data Requirements);
 Element’s Alias is left to domain usage. Sometimes is used for the Chinese name of
the object (according to Data Requirements);
 No Element Stereotype is allowed for the Conceptual Model;

1.3.6 Attributes
 Attributes which are related to geometrical representation are included in the
Conceptual Model. These are expressed as attribute of the UML Class
 These attributes are intended to be defined in the IFC schema;

1.3.7 Business properties

 Business properties of the objects are not included in the Conceptual Model. They are
reported in the Data Requirement Report document;

1.3.8 Enumerations
 Subtyping using enumerations is strictly prohibited inside the Conceptual Model;
 Enumerations are sometimes used to represent a list of predefined values of attributes;

1.3.9 Relationships
 UML Associations must be used to express business relationships between objects.
No IFC implementation consideration is used for the Conceptual Model;
 The allowed UML associations for Conceptual Model are described in the table below.

Table 2 - Relationships used inside the Conceptual Model

RELATIONSHIP DESCRIPTION
Aggregation  It is used to depict elements which are made up of smaller
[Sharing] components
Generalization  It is used to indicate inheritance. The source inherits the
[Typing] target's characteristics
 It is drawn from the specific classifier (source) to a general
classifier (target)
Association  It is the general relationship type between elements
[general use]  Use this when not sure of none of the above relationships
 To provide further understanding, add a description to this
association

 For all the above association there are two possible uses:
o Plain (no text), means that the two concepts are somehow related;
o Described (with text), to express constraints or any other relationship (e.g.
supports; connects; etc.);
 Stereotyped relationships are forbidden in the Conceptual Model;
 Only for the Conceptual Model, multiple inheritance is accepted;
 Multiplicity (a.k.a. Cardinality) is considered as “optional”.

© buildingSMART Railway Room page 18

1.3.10 Descriptions
 English description of objects and attributes is included as Element’s note.

1.3.11 Tag values

 Only one tag value is admitted and used inside the Conceptual Model: IFC_RAIL_ID.
This is compiled with values from Domains’ Data Requirements and it is used for
BIMQ synchronization (tooling purpose only).

1.3.12 Data types

 A set of Data Type is defined by TS. This is included in the Conceptual Model as a
separate package;
 The structure in EA is as follows:

 For each data type the following info are included:

o Name of the element = BIMQ Data Type
o Alias of the element = IFC4X2 Data Type
o Constraints of the element = Constraints
o Notes of the element = description
o Link of the element = Related file
 Each Element’s attribute is classified using such Data Types.

2.1.1.4 Track panel

The track panel is a functional view made up of the running rail, rail fastening and sleeper.
One property of the track panel is that the components are permanently assembled and
cannot be moved independently.

The track panel as a whole absorbs and transfers the forces into the superstructure. This
may consist of a ballast bed or a slab track. In extreme cases (on simple railways), the track
panel may lie on bare soil.

The track panel follows the routing in 3D space. It is uniquely identified by the track centre
(routing/alignment) and the track centre’s characteristics. It runs in the centre between the
upper edges of the running rail. The track panel therefore has parameters regarding the
horizontal and vertical routing and also carries information regarding cant.

In processes, the track panel is often considered as one unit, not just when planning for
projects but also as part of numerous superstructure maintenance measures.

A track panel may consist of the following object types but does not necessarily have to have
all of them according to the conceptual model:

- Running rail

- Rail fastening

- Sleepers

- Rail joints

- Other objects

2.1.1.5 Turnout panel

Like the track panel, the turnout panel is a functional view made up of the running rail, rail
fastening and sleeper. Turnout panels also include specific turnout objects such as frogs,
check rail, half set of blades, etc.

One property of the turnout panel is that the components are permanently assembled and
cannot be moved independently. Often, “turnout panels” are even supplied and installed as a
single unit.

The turnout panel as a whole absorbs and transfers the forces into the superstructure. This
may consist of ballast or a slab track. In extreme cases (on simple railways), the turnout
panel may lie on bare soil. The internal geometric restrictions on turnout between the tip of
the turnout and the last continuous sleeper (no bends, curvatures, etc.) must be taken into
account for the Placement of the objects.

The turnout panel follows the routing in 3D space. It is uniquely identified by the track centre
and the track centre’s characteristics. It runs in the centre between the upper edges of the
running rail (SiOK). The turnout panel therefore has parameters regarding the horizontal and
vertical routing and also carries information regarding cant.

In processes, the turnout panel is often considered one unit, not just when planning for
projects from a topological point of view but also as part of numerous superstructure upgrade
measures.

The turnout panel has an internal reference system which is recorded in the “Installation plan”.

The entire rail system is defined as a seamless sequence of track and turnout panels which
follows the topology and routing.

6 Common - Shared
This Package contents all the classes which are candidate for common schema and shared
elements. Currently it contents:

 The proposal for alignment

 The overview of possible instances of alignments and dependent linear reference
systems for rail
 The possible positionings for objects which can be used as data types
 The definition of domain specific spatial structures

6.1 Alignment Proposal

This class model describes the requirements for alignment for the rail domain. The model is
structured in such a way that several classes are also valid for other domains (i.e. road) if not
specified as railway.

6.1.1 Principles
In the field of railway the term alignment is usually used for the description of several
geometries i.e. track centreline, catenary line, ...and for associated linear reference systems.

The requirements for the geometries are specifically defined in the alignment proposal as
where the requirements for the linear referencing are defined in the chapters "LRS &
Alignment" and "Positioning".

6.1.3 Parameterized description

Package for the parameterized description of the alignment.

6.1.3.1 Alignment Curve

The alignment curve is a parameterized space curve which represents the geometry of any
track section. It is defined by three alignments (= layouts), which are to be regarded as
independent from each other:

© buildingSMART Railway pa 23
1. an horizontal alignment (2D)
2. a vertical alignment (1D)
3. a cant alignment (1D) (synonym = superelevation)

Each of these three alignments is defined by a sequence of ordered geometric segments

composed of various geometry types that are linked together in a chain.

Properties

6.1.3.2 Alignment Horizontal

The horizontal alignment is composed of geometric segments with the following three
geometry types:

1. straight line
2. arc of a circle
3. transition curve

The horizontal alignment delivers the metric for the linear reference system used to position
the vertical alignment segments and the cant segments.

The tolerance limits for lengthwise, crosswise and angle errors must be kept. Otherwise the
chain will not be deemed to be linked together. If no absolute coordinates are known, the
initial coordinates of the geometric elements are entered as (0,0) or using less precise
coordinates (graphical coordinates) in the geodetic reference system. The type of geodetic
reference system and/or the map projection must be given. The measurement respectively
the calculation date must be stated.

2. the starting direction in form of an azimuth [gon] or alternatively [rad](radiant).
3. the segment length in [m]
4. the information on how the segment is connected to the following segment. This
information is used to describe possible discontinuities (e.g. if there is a horizontal
bend).

Additionally:

1. a radius, for arc segments

2. an initial and final radius for transition segments as well as the type of transition
curve. Some transition curves require additional parameters.
