Method for detecting the position of a predetermined axle of a railway vehicle on a rail section

摘要

A method for ascertaining the position (POS) of an assigned axle (A4) of rail-borne vehicle (F) on a railway section (GA) involves obtaining a position signal for the axle on the railway section (GA) in order to derive a position result from the position signal by assigning reference values. In order to provide an exact location of the axle and rail-borne vehicle on a limited section of railway, an annunciation signal (Ut) is generated when the axle (A4) passes a defined fixed point on the railway section (GA), followed by checking for any deviation of the obtained position signal (fs) for this point.
