Abstract
A train preparation method includes bringing a stabled, not-yet-operational rail vehicle into an operational state. The train preparation takes place in an active position of at least one current collector of the rail vehicle and the rail vehicle is supplied with electrical energy by an electrical current flowing via the at least one current collector. A gateway monitors at least one status of at least one component of the rail vehicle and generates an error signal if the status deviates from a target status specified for a train preparation and, in the event of the error signal, transmits a message with the gateway-specific mobile-radio-compatible communications interface. A gateway and a rail vehicle are also provided.
