Abstract
A method for detecting a malfunction of a monitoring system which is used for monitoring the running stability of a rail vehicle during operation of the rail vehicle in a monitoring operating range, includes using an acceleration sensor of the monitoring system to generate a signal during operation of the rail vehicle. In a test using a variable that depends on the signal, it is tested whether the monitoring system has the malfunction. In order to improve the running stability monitoring, the test is carried out during operation of the rail vehicle in an operating range in which the monitoring system does not carry out any running stability monitoring. A device for carrying out the method, a rail vehicle, a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium, are also provided.
