The main reason for the creation of this standard is to allow for better compatibilety between road and vehicle sets. It's also made with the intent of limeting the amount of neccesary hidden roadtypes this is mostly accompliced by moving the roadtypes for compatibilety away from the vehicle sets to the roadset.

What the standard does not do!

The standard is not made to make different roadsets work thogeter

The Label Scheme

A roadtype label consists of four characters. In this scheme, each position has a different purpose:

  1. Surphase and type class (e.g. Road, water, ice)
  2. Speed and id Class
  3. Tier class (e.g. Offroad, Road, Highway/Motorway)
  4. Energy source type class

In the next sections, each of the four positions will be explained.

Surphase and type class [X***]

The first position in the railtype label defines surphase and/or road type class. The following classes are currently defined:

Track type/gauge
R Road
B Bike
I Ice
S Snow
W Water
X Water and ice (propably hidden)
X Ice and road (probably hidden)
X Water and road (probably hidden)

X is undecided
