Abstract
A method for operating railbound vehicles includes transmitting driving information, between a first railbound vehicle and a second railbound vehicle, relating to the future driving operation of at least one of the two railbound vehicles, and coordinating the future driving operation of the two railbound vehicles on the basis of that driving information transmitted therebetween, in such a manner that braking energy fed back by the first railbound vehicle during a braking operation can be used at least partially by the second railbound vehicle.
Claims9
A method for operating railbound vehicles, the method comprising the following steps:
- transmitting driving information between a first railbound vehicle and a second railbound vehicle not connected to the first railbound vehicle, the driving information relating to future driving operation of at least one of the first and second railbound vehicles;
- and
- coordinating the future driving operation of the first and second railbound vehicles based on the driving information transmitted between the first and second railbound vehicles, to permit braking energy fed back by the first railbound vehicle during a braking operation to be used at least partially by the second railbound vehicle.
