Abstract
A method determines a change of a state of a track section of a railroad. The track section includes a first end electrically connected to a first track device, a second end electrically connected to a second track device, and rails connecting the first end with the second end. The track section is associated with at least one computing unit. At least one of the first and second track devices is in communication with the computing unit. Upon initialization of the method, the state of the track section is a first predetermined state. At least one of the first track device and the second track device is a receiving track device, which measures a received current intensity at a receiving end. The method includes a first monitoring of the received current intensity and a second monitoring of a transmitted current intensity.
