Shunting Yard Scenario

•Open areas, smaller than 1 km2 .•Grouping parallel rails and usually close to train stations and delimited by cuttings. Most of the structures in the shunting yards are metallic and under the train antenna level. Thus, line of sight is possible. •The maximum speed is typically between 25 km/h and 40 km/h.

Regional Network Scenario

•Covers areas larger than 1 km2 . •Narrow clean area ≥ 11,6 m with curve radius down to 160 m that do not always allow line of sight. It might be surrounded by structures in both sides like tunnels, cuttings, and forest which may have a guiding effect. Bridges are not a source of shadowing since they are above the antenna level. Mountains may cause severe shadowing. •Speeds up to 200 km/h are possible.
