Jvgdata Loading location

A loading point is a demarcated area connected to the network and intended for loading and unloading goods and cargo carriers or transhipment from rail to other modes of transport. Loading places usually have a track and an associated load area. The load area usually consists of hardened ground surface, but it can also be a loading dock. At a number of loading points in the country, the Swedish Transport Administration offers the service “Capacities at loading point” where the railway undertaking applies for time on both the loading track and the ground surface. In connection with certain loading places, there is also a storage area that can be leased. The data product contains loading points located in the Swedish railway network. The following key attributes shall be provided: •Location type indicates whether the loading place is a loading dock or a ground surface. Note: In cases where loading docks and ground surfaces are located adjacent to each other, there are several loading points, one for each of them. •Category describes whether the loading position can be used directly (category A) or if minor (category B) or larger (category C) operations are required before use. Measures can be e.g. vegetation removal or track renovation The geometry of the loading position for loading berths is described using the attributes: • height (m), width (m), length (m) The attribute of loadability is described if loading from a loading dock can be done from the end of the wagon, from the side or through both of these options. For load positions of the Groundspace type, it is the attributes width (m) and length (m) that describe the geometry. The data product has stretch distribution and connects to the network with reference to the nearest previous node and nearest previous kilometre board with distance in meters to both the starting and end positions of the route in the direction of the track link. There are also objects with point propagation, namely objects where the attribute load capability has end-loading as value.
