Method and device for controlling a rail vehicle

A device for controlling a rail vehicle, comprising:

• an acoustic recording device for obtaining a recorded voice message by recording a voice message of a user of the rail vehicle, the recorded voice message containing a control parameter for controlling the rail vehicle;
• a processor for obtaining an extracted control parameter by extracting the control parameter from the recorded voice message;
• a display device for displaying the extracted control parameter;
• a detection device for detecting a release command from the user so that the extracted control parameter may be used for controlling the railway vehicle;
• and
• a control system for controlling the rail vehicle on a basis of the extracted control parameter only upon detection of the release command from the user, so that the extracted control parameter may be used for controlling the rail vehicle;
• said control system including a first memory area and a second memory area, said first memory area and said second memory area being logically and/or physically separated from each other, wherein the extracted control parameter is stored in said first memory area before the rail vehicle is controlled, wherein the extracted control parameter stored in said first memory area is copied from said first memory area into said second memory area after a detection of the release command, so that the rail vehicle is controlled based on the extracted control parameter copied into said second memory area.

A non-transitory computer medium containing computer-executable instructions, said computer-executable instructions when executed on a computer performing a method for controlling a rail vehicle, which comprises the following steps of:

• obtaining a recorded voice message by recording a voice message of a user of the rail vehicle, the recorded voice message containing a control parameter for controlling the rail vehicle;
• obtaining an extracted control parameter by extracting the control parameter from a recorded voice message;
• displaying the extracted control parameter;
• controlling, with a control system, the rail vehicle on a basis of the extracted control parameter only upon detection of a release command from the user so that the extracted control parameter may be used for controlling the rail vehicle;
• providing the control system with a first memory area and a second memory area, the first memory area and the second memory area being logically and/or physically separated from each other, wherein the extracted control parameter is stored in the first memory area before the rail vehicle is controlled, wherein the extracted control parameter stored in the first memory area is copied from the first memory area into the second memory area after a detection of the release command, so that the rail vehicle is controlled based on the extracted control parameter copied into the second memory area.
