Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019057823A1] The invention relates to a method for ensuring that a section block (11, 13) of a railway section is free of the last unit (19) of a train (17), wherein each train travelling into the section block (11) is equipped with at least one train terminal (OTU – On Train Unit) (21) at the end of the train (19), defined by the direction of travel of the train (17), which OTU (21) is used for the periodic position detection of the train. The method comprises the following method steps: a) at least one polygon (23, 25), which is defined by a plurality of geo-data, for each section block (11, 13) is stored in the OTU (21). b) The respectively travelled polygon (23, 25) is registered at least once by the OTU (21) by means of GNSS. c) The OTU (21) sends the identification of the respectively travelled polygon (23, 25) at least once to an electronic data processing system for evaluation.
