Facilities vs Equipment ​

Some properties can be assigned via facilities (ServiceFacilitySet) and via equipment.

Examples are

  • PassengerInformationFacilityList is also included in PassengerInformationEquipment
  • SanitaryFacilityList is also included in SanitaryEquipment

A decision was made to prefer using equipment over facilities in such scenarios because:

  • equipment is already required in other parts
  • equipment allows additional details
  • equipment is used to describe e.g. stair or toilets in a DeckPlan so the defined equipment can be located in a DeckPlan if needed

For DELFI the following modelling approach could have been used instead of the equipment:
