A method for determining the position of a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes readjusting a distance measuring device on the vehicle for obtaining position-determining distance measurement values based on position marker information available at position markers on the track, wherein the position marker information is captured by a position marker information recorder connected to the distance measuring device. In order to be able to carry out an exact determination of the position of a track-guided vehicle in a comparatively simple way, the position marker information of the same position marker is detected again by a further position marker information recorder being offset relative to the first position marker information recorder in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and a generation of further position-determining distance measurement values is initiated. A positioning device for determining the position of a track-guided vehicle is also provided.

Method and positioning device for determining the position of a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle

A device for infrastructure-side monitoring of a position of a stabled rail-based vehicle includes a detector for infrastructure-side detection of a change of location of the stabled vehicle and a communications entity or device configured to communicate the detected change in location over a communications network to a user of the communications network. A corresponding method, a corresponding system, a method for operating the system and a computer program product are also provided.

Device and method for rail-side monitoring of the position of stabled rail-based vehicle

A particularly powerful method is used for operating a vehicle-side receiver device of a train control system. In this context, the method proceeds in a way that at least one signal which is encoded by modulation is received by the receiver device via at least one track circuit. At least one carrier frequency of the at least one received signal is determined. The transmission method used by the respective train control system is identified taking into account the determined carrier frequency, and the receiver device is set specifically for the identified transmission method. A vehicle-side receiver device of a train control system is provided for performing the method.
