Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021121854A1] The invention relates to a method for determining a position of a rail vehicle (1), which is moving along a track (8), by means of an optical measuring system (5) that comprises a stereo camera system (11) and an evaluation device (12), wherein an image pair is recorded from a reference point (13) in lateral surroundings of the track (8) by means of the stereo camera system (11) and wherein the position of the rail vehicle (1) in relation to the reference point (13) is determined by means of photogrammetry. The position of the rail vehicle (1) is also detected by means of a radio-based measuring system (6) for real-time localisation by means of an anchor module (15) attached to the rail vehicle (1) and by means of transponders (15) attached to a plurality of reference points (13), wherein position data of the two measureing systems (5, 6) are compared by means of a system control centre (17). Two independent measuring systems (5, 6) are used in this way to generate position data.
