Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4432329A1] The invention concerns a method of monitoring railway traffic and railway tracks. The track is provided over its entire length with a dense network of sensors which monitor the track continuously. The network continuously detects the location and speed of all the vehicles on the track and the state of said track, before transferring this information, without the need for communication between the vehicle and the monitoring system or for an active position message from the vehicle.
