Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015043967A1] The solution according to the invention allows continued driving - depending on the proper state of the track and the proper state of the vehicle - even if a communication link between a rail vehicle and a track monitoring system is interrupted. Such continued driving preferably takes place at least partially at a reduced speed. If an undesirable state is established by the track monitoring system, the power supply to the rail vehicle is interrupted, the rail vehicle establishes this and brakes to a stop. If an undesirable state is established by the rail vehicle, the rail vehicle brakes automatically (preferably to a stop). It is advantageous that operation of the rail vehicle can be continued, at least until entering the next station, even if the communication link is interrupted. The passengers can be evacuated safely in said station. The invention can be used for example for underground urban railways, in particular for driverless systems.
