Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012152752A1] The invention relates to a particularly efficient method for operating a marshaling yard, wherein the position (p1) of a locomotive (10) on an inbound track (100) of the marshaling yard is determined, the position (p2) of the front end of the unit to be divided (60) facing the hump is determined relative to a unit to be divided (60) that is to be pushed by the locomotive (10) from the inbound track (100) to a hump of the marshaling yard, the distance (d) between the locomotive (10) and the front end of the unit to be divided (60) is determined on the basis of the determined positions (p1, p2), and the determined distance (d) is compared to a reference value for the length of the unit to be divided (60). The invention further relates to a control device for a marshaling yard.
