Abstract
A method is provided for communicating at least one item of information between a first control unit on-board a first vehicle and a public transport network. The information is sent as a command from the first control unit to a first communication unit on board the first vehicle. The first communication unit establishes a transmission link outside the vehicle with a second communication unit connected to a module for executing the command. The second communication unit and the execution module are located on the ground. The first control unit controls the execution module on the ground in a governed slave mode for the command by a master mode of the first control unit.

A method for communicating at least one item of information between a first control unit on-board a first vehicle and a public transport network, the method comprising:
- sending the information as a command from the first control unit to a first communication unit on board the first vehicle;
- establishing with the first communication unit, a transmission link outside the vehicle with a second communication unit connected to an execution module for executing the command, wherein the second communication unit and the execution module are located on the ground;
- and
- with the first control unit, controlling the execution module on the ground in a directly governed slave mode for the command by a master mode of the first control unit.
A method of installing, updating or commissioning a physical public transport network and a related communications network, the method which comprises:
- sending information as a command from a first control unit on-board a first vehicle to a first communication unit on board the first vehicle in order to install, update, or commission the physical public transport network and the related communications network;
- establishing with the first communication unit, a transmission link outside the vehicle with a second communication unit connected to an execution module for executing the command, wherein the second communication unit and the module for executing the command are located on the ground;
- and
- with the first control unit, controlling the execution module for executing the command on the ground in a directly governed slave mode for the command by a master mode of the first control unit.
