摘要

The method of determining the degree of occupation and number of carriages (7) of a train (2) involves determining the position of the train using digital radio (5). The front and end of the train have additional digital radios connected to a separate radio center. A fixed receiver receives the vehicle positions compared to a map. The length of the train is determined using initial and end radio emitters.
