Abstract (en)

A method for securing a train travelling along a railway track provided with railway signs, comprises the steps of establishing a radio contact between the train and a specific railway signal which the train is approaching; transmitting a mode of the railway signal to the train by means of said radio contact; when the mode of the railway signal requires a braking of the train, determining whether such a braking is initiated by the driver of the train; and when, in such a case, no braking is initiated by the train driver, initiating an automated braking of the train. Also an assembly for carrying out said method is provided.
