Abstract (en)

A method for monitoring a railway system (21) is provided, the method comprising arranging a sensor (24) below a movable railway element (25) of the railway system (21), and measuring a spatial position of at least a segment (34) of the movable railway element (25) by a contactless measurement by the sensor (24), wherein the sensor (24) is configured to differentiate between at least two different spatial positions of the segment (34) of the movable railway element (25), and the respective spatial position relates to the distance between the segment (34) of the movable railway element (25) and a rail (23) of the railway system (21). Furthermore, a sensor arrangement (20) for a railway system (21) is provided.
