Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19701947A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling the speed of a rail vehicle (1). A permissible or recommended travel speed (v') is determined on the basis of the actual distance (d) between the rail vehicle (1) and a track signal (5) in addition to the earliest time (t) at which a signal clears the line, and preferably also on the basis of the actual speed (v) of the rail vehicle (1). The resulting anticipatory driving makes it possible to lower energy consumption.
