The invention relates to a system for regulating vehicles in a vehicle train which comprises a leader vehicle and at least one further vehicle adapted to communicating via wireless communication. The system comprises a processor unit adapted to receiving data related to one or more vehicle parameters for a vehicle in the train or within an area around the train, to analysing said data according to predetermined criteria, to placing said vehicle in one of a predetermined number of categories based on the result of said analysis, each of which categories has rules for how at least one vehicle in the train is to be regulated on the basis of the categorisation, to generating at least one control signal which indicates how one or more vehicles in the train are to be regulated on the basis of said categorisation and to sending the control signal to one or more control units on board one or more of the train's vehicles, which are then regulated accordingly. The invention relates also to a method for regulating vehicles in a vehicle train.
