Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014048736A2] An infill balise is proposed which is arranged upstream of a route component in the direction of travel. The infill balise receives information relating to the state of the route component, and the control of a rail vehicle can be carried out by taking into account the state of the route component. Since the infill balise is positioned ahead of the route component, the rail vehicle can still react in good time to the state of the route component and, for example, initiate a braking process or an acceleration process. This reduces the delay and increases the safety as well as the efficiency in the railway mode, in particular if the route component lying ahead is located at the start of an area which is controlled by another interlock box. The proposed infill balise can be used instead of a block interface. This is particularly advantageous because the implementation of block interfaces is challenging, complicated and costly.
