Abstract
A method and device for monitoring train integrity wherein train integrity modules—TIM—arranged in at least some of the cars of the train recognize shunting regions in accordance with a digital map. The TIMs exchange data upon exiting a first shunting region in a calibration phase and, based on predefined data stability criteria, recognize the affiliation thereof to the exiting train and the TIMs cyclically exchange sensor data, in particular in respect of velocity, position and travel direction, until entry into a second shunting region. The TIMs recognize a train separation on the basis of predefined logic criteria and optionally transmit the sensor data to an operating control center as applicable.
