Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0814006A1] The direction recognition method uses a local area network (LAN) and energy sensors (11,12,21,22,31,32) on either side of an energy converter (14,24,34) within each waggon (1,2,3), supplying measured values to a master processor (MR) via the local area network. The master processor is mounted onboard the drive locomotive (L) and uses the amplitudes or differences for the measured values provided by the sensors for each waggon for determining the waggon direction.
