Proposal
This proposal defines a single key that supports all train protection systems, easing tagging and data processing.
Values will be of the form CC:NAME[:VERSION] and are separated by semicolons. VERSION specification is optional and depends on the train protection systems.
Example:
DE:PZB;DE:LZB;ETCS:2
This would be a "full featured" installation in Germany using both the PZB and LZB systems as well as the European system ETCS (Level 2).
Rationale
Currently every train protection system is tagged using it's own key inside the railway namespace. Existing tags:
This has the disadvantage that deciding if no train protection system is installed on a given line means checking _all_ of these tags for being absent or existing and having the value "no". The number of checks grows for every country specific train protection signal being added.
The names of the train protection systems are often abbreviated to 2-4 letters. It is highly plausible that there will be collisions between different countries using the same abbreviation for different systems. These tags could also cause future collisions with different things in the railway namespace that would use the same abbreviations.
Tagging
This table is taken from OpenRailwayMap/Tagging. That section would be removed from that page and would redirect to the new key page.
The table was a brute force mapping. Some vendor systems are not yet specified how they should be mapped, this will likely affect especially unconnected railway installations like airport monorails or things like that. See discussion page.
| Value | Existing Key | Existing Value | Property | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US:ACSES | railway:acses (may also be tagged as `railway:ptc`) | yes/no | Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System | Is the track equipped with the North American ACSES system ACSES? Also use this value for cab-signal-overlay positive train control systems considered interoperable with ACSES, such as the Automatic Speed Control system on the Long Island Rail Road. |

Is the track equipped with the regular version of the Spanish system ASFA (up to 160 km/h)?
Is the track equipped with the ASFA system that is used on several unconnected lines in Catalonia? Is the track equipped with the 200 km/h compatible version of ASFA? Note that ASFA Digital does not change track systems! |

Is the track equipped with any Dutch ATB system?
Is the track equipped with the 'first generation' Dutch signalling system ATB? Is the track equipped with the 'new generation' Dutch signalling system ATB? Is the ATB system equipped with extra beacons to ensure protection at low speeds? |
| UK:ATP | railway:atp | yes/no | Automatic
Train Protection |
Is the track equipped with the British system ATP?
The tags railway:gwatp and railway:gw_atp add a Great Western prefix, which is incorrect. |
| UK:ATC | railway:aws | yes/no | Automatic

Is the track equipped with the British system AWS? |
| IE:CAWS | railway:caws | yes/no | Continuous

Is the track equipped with the Irish system CAWS? |

Is the track equipped with the a CBTC-standard system? If so, the level of automation may also be specified. |
| CN:CTCS,

中国列车控制系统 | Is the track equipped with the Chinese system CTCS? If so, the CTCS level may also be specified. |
| ?? | railway:ebicab | 700/900/
yes/no |
EBICAB | Is the track equipped with the Bombardier system EBICAB? If so, the EBICAB version may also be specified. |
| US:E-ATC | ?? (likely tagged as `railway:ptc`) | ?? (the `railway:ptc` key used `yes` and `no` for values) | Enhanced Automatic Train Control | Is the track equipped with the North American Enhanced Automatic Train Control system? Note that while this is also a cab signal overlay type of positive train control (automatic train protection) system, it is distinct from and largely incompatible with the ACSES system mentioned above. It should also not be confused with legacy Automatic Train Control systems, which have been replaced by either E-ATC or I-ETMS. |
| ETCS,
ETCS:1, ETCS:2, ETCS:2.3, ETCS:3 |
railway:etcs | 1/2/3/
yes/no |
European Train
Control System |
Is the track equipped with the European system, ETCS? If so, the ETCS Level may also be specified.
This one is a bit special as it is _not_ prefixed with a country prefix. Sublevels may also be given as version. |

(the `railway:ptc` tag uses `yes` and `no` for its values) | Interoperable Electronic Train Management System | Is the track equipped with Wabtec's Interoperable Electronic Train Management System? (This is the standard Positive Train Control system used by the US Class 1 freight railroads as well as most commuter railroads and shortlines outside the Northeast Corridor that are required by law to fit Positive Train Control; there are a few commuter lines and shortlines that use E-ATC instead though.) |
| US:ITCS | railway:itcs (may also be tagged as `railway:ptc`) | yes/no | Incremental Train Control System (ITCS) | Is the track equipped with the North American system GE Transportation Systems' Incremental Train Control System (ITCS)?
