Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015150313A1] The invention relates to a railway vehicle (2; 3) having an ETCS (European Train Control System) on-board unit (4; 5) that is provided with an interface (6; 7) for control data from route devices of national train protection systems. In order to be able to operate a railway vehicle of this type in a new (ancillary) ETCS mode, the ETCS on-board unit (4; 5) is associated with an additional device (8; 9) that is connected to an antenna (10; 11) on the input side, and is connected on the output side, via its own interface (12; 13) for control data from route devices of national train protection systems, to the interface (6; 7) for control data from route devices of national train protection systems of the ETCS on-board unit (4; 5), wherein the one additional device (8; 9) is suitable for acting as a national train protection system by taking over control data of the ETCS on-board unit (5), in response to information signalling a virtual coupling of the railway vehicle (2) to a further railway vehicle (3), and received via the antenna (11). A further additional device (15; 16) having a further antenna (17; 18) is arranged downstream of the ETCS on-board unit (4; 5), wherein the further additional device (15; 16) is suitable for sending a signal, via the antenna (17; 18), for virtually coupling a railway vehicle. The invention also relates to a railway vehicle assembly with at least two railway vehicles having an ETCS on-board unit, and to a method for controlling a railway vehicle assembly of this type.
