Abstract

A method and a computer program product monitor infrastructure facilities of a route network for vehicles. The vehicles generate messages about a respective operating state, which messages are transmitted with a time and a specification of location which represent the occurrence of a signaled operating state, to a land-based evaluation device. The messages received are stored in a database and evaluated. The messages of a predefined time period relating to a predefined operating state are read out from the database. Limited areas with frequent occurrence of the predefined operating state are determined by means of a predefined algorithm. The infrastructure facilities in the areas with the frequent occurrence of the predefined operating state as a possible cause of the predefined operating state of the vehicles are identified, and information about the infrastructure facilities which are detected as a possible cause of the predefined operating state of the vehicles are output.
