Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1561663A1] The method involves transmitting a first signal (WS) representing the front of the train (2) as it passes a track point (16), recording the input and/or type of the first signal at the track point and/or an associated control unit, transmitting a second signal (ZS) representing the end of the train as it passes over the track point, recording the input and/or type of the second signal at the track point and/or the associated control unit and using theses signals and/or a comparison of their types to decide whether a complete train has passed the track point.. An independent claim is also included for a device for monitoring the completeness of a railway train.
