Abstract

The trains (SFZ1, SFZ2) are fitted with devices for determining their positions and have different identifiers. The method involves feeding train position information to the center (ZSZ); the center determining which trains are immediately behind each other; the center passing the identifier of at least one of two immediately following trains to the other; the train setting up a direct wireless communications link to the other; the leading train passes its position to the other train; the following train regulating its speed to maintain the relevant braking distance between it and the leading train. Independent claims are also included for an arrangement for a train control center for implementing the method and a train assembly.
