ATOC CIF Timetable Parser to XML 25/01/2015 at 18:48 #68373

16 posts 		Hi there,

I'm in the process of writing a parser for the ATOC CIF timetable file they release weekly and create an importable XML timetable.
I have a couple of questions about the XML timetable though. I've tried to follow the schema on the wiki but I haven't been able to import a simple 1 train time table yet.

I'm working on Westbury for the moment (as it's my 'home' simulation living in Theale). Could someone tell me what is wrong with this example timetable:


<SimSigTimetable ID=“Westbury” Version=“4.1.2”>
<Name>Test</Name>
<StartDate>2015-01-09</StartDate>
<EndDate>2015-01-10</EndDate>
<TrainCategory ID=“HST125”>
<description>HST - 8 cars</description>
<maxSpeed>125</maxSpeed>
<accelerationBrakingProfile>2</accelerationBrakingProfile>
<power>diesel</power>
<freight>false</freight>
<length>220</length>
<speedClass>HST</speedClass>
</TrainCategory>
<Schedule scheduleID=“test1” trainID=“1A83”>
<TrainCategory>HST125</TrainCategory>
<bonusScoring>false</bonusScoring>
<StartDate>2015-01-09</StartDate>

Everything!

The information on the wiki seems obsolete - the XML schema is totally different.

Eg. TrainCategory should be under TrainCategories, Schedule should in fact be Timetable under Timetables, etc. Only the DepartureTime element seems right.

16 posts 		Hmm.

I had no idea that the wiki data was out of date. I'll generate a schema from an unzipped version of the WTT I have and go from there.

Thanks for you input.

Am I right in saying the .WTT XML schema is different to the XML schema for the import?

That is the XML schema for the .WTT files though isn' it ?

What the original OP is after is the details on the XML import feature, which as far as I'm aware using a different schema?
