Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019110293A1] The invention relates to a method for operating rail vehicles (1, 2), wherein an absolute braking distance (Ab) is ascertained for a rail vehicle (2) following a leading rail vehicle (1), wherein the braking distance prevents or at least should prevent the leading rail vehicle (1) from being driven against. The following rail vehicle (2) is operated so as to at least maintain the absolute braking distance (Ab) to the leading rail vehicle (1). According to the invention, the following rail vehicle (2) is operated so as to maintain an additional distance (Az), which depends on the speed (V1(t)) of the leading rail vehicle (1), in addition to the absolute braking distance (Ab).
