Abstract
A method carries out a requested emergency stop for a train in order to bring the train to a stop at a suitable point on the route travelled by the train. On the train side, a list is provided in which, for the route to be travelled by the train, zones are defined where the train is allowed to stop and/or is not allowed to stop in the event of a requested emergency stop. When the train is travelling, a request for an emergency stop is automatically recorded and analyzed by the train without the involvement of the driver. The train carries out an automated determination of the position of the train in relation to the route being travelled, which is carried out independently of route-side apparatuses. Depending on the position of the train, a suitable zone where the train can be brought to a standstill for the emergency stop to be carried out is automatically selected from the list.
