Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0545026A1] In order to be able to automatically and safely control the distance between successive vehicles on the same railway track, means are provided which form a distance variable (Ud) corresponding to the distance between the vehicles. On the vehicles in each case a control device (18) is present which controls the speed as a function of this distance variable (Ud) in such a way that the speed is always lower, by a specific amount, than the acceptable speed determined by the distance variable (Ud). The speed of the vehicle is measured with two independent speed measuring devices (50, 52') and two mutually independent control units (48, 48') trigger emergency braking if the measured speed exceeds the distance variable (Ud). <IMAGE>
