RouteLinkType

A link is a path segment in the routing network, such as a road. This type is an abstract base class for PublicTransportLinkType and PrivateTransportLinkType . It includes the common attributes that every that every link type provides.

In this type, FirstPoint and LastPoint be used as alternative representation to avoid repeating shapes already provided at the route level.

This image shows a graphical representation of the Route Link Type.

RouteLinkType defines the following attributes:

Element	Description
`LinkId`	`LinkIdType` Permanent ID which references a network link. When presented with a minus sign as the first character, this ID indicates that the link should be traversed in the opposite direction of its default coding (for example, walking SW on a link that is coded as one-way traveling NE).
`Shape`	`GeoPolylineType` A polyline representation of the parent element (for example, route, route leg, link, etc.).
`FirstPoint`	`xs:int` Index into the global geometry array, pointing to the first point of the shape subsegment for the associated element (for example, maneuver, link). Must be followed by `LastPoint`.
`LastPoint`	`xs:int` Index into the global geometry array, pointing to the last point of the shape subsegment for the associated element (for example, maneuver, link). Must be preceded by `FirstPoint`.
`Length`	`DistanceType` Length of the parent element, always provided in meters.
`RemainDistance`	`DistanceType` Distance from the start of this element to the destination of the route.
`RemainTime`	common:DurationType Time needed from the start of this element to the destination of the route. Considers any available traffic information, if enabled and the authorized for the user.
`NextLink`	`LinkIdType` Reference to the next link on the recommended route.
`Maneuver`	`ElementReferenceType` Reference to the maneuver that needs to take place to go from the current link to the next link in the route. Last maneuver has zero length, as it is an "arrive" maneuver. It is not referenced by any link.
`TimeDependentRestrictionRef`	`xs:int` List of time dependent restrictions which apply on this link. The restrictions are provided as indices of time dependent restrictions on the route (see `TimeDependentRestriction` element of RouteType).
