Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1591335A1] The method involves determining the distance (d) of a distant signal beacon (8) or group of beacons in front of a distant signal (7) of a railway system, whereby the beacon or group of beacons transmits information relating to the distant signal to a passing train (6). It involves selecting a time constant and determining the distance as a product of the time constant and a speed value. An independent claim is also included for a railway system for with at least one distant signal and at least one associated main signal and with beacon groups that communicate with a train.
