Abstract: An apparatus for sensing and optimizing the stopping-point accuracy of a vehicle. The apparatus includes at least one sensor unit, which can be arranged on the vehicle, and at least one evaluation unit connected to the sensor unit. The at least one sensor unit is configured to measure a distance relative to a gap profile arranged at a stopping point to which the vehicle travels and to transmit the measurement result to the evaluation unit connected to the sensor unit. There is also described a corresponding system including the apparatus and the distance profile, and also a vehicle with such an apparatus.

Abstract: A fanless cooling system for particularly fail-safe and efficient cooling of electronic modular systems in vehicles, more particularly in rail vehicles, includes a preferably frame-shaped rack or assembly carrier for holding at least one module or assembly, more particularly a processor module having high-performance multi-core processors. A heat transport body can be mounted in a heat-transferring manner on a part or component of the module. The rack has at least one heat distribution body, to which the heat transport body can be fastened in a heat-transferring manner, preferably detachably, when the module having the part coupled to the heat transfer body is held in the rack. At least one heat tube is connected to the heat distribution body in a heat-transferring manner. An electronic modular system with a fanless cooling system is also provided.

Abstract: A method operates a first and a second vehicle. Accordingly, on the vehicle side, it is checked whether a new coupling with another vehicle has occurred, and after establishing a new coupling, a respective configuration signal signaling the coupling status is transmitted to a track-side switching unit. If there is a configuration signal of the first vehicle and a configuration signal of the second vehicle, a communications connection is established between the two vehicles via the track- side switching unit or an already existing communications connection between the two vehicles is reconfigured.

Abstract: An energy supply device for a switch machine is configured to be fed a direct voltage and to provide an alternating voltage suitable for the switch machine. Accordingly, in order to be able to produce a railway switch more economically, the energy supply device is configured to control the switch machine.

Abstract: A control method operates a rail vehicle. The method is carried out in a computer-assisted manner on the basis of a vehicle control program. Accordingly, it is provided that the vehicle control program operates with the use of detected driving and/or surroundings data being detected by on-board or train-board sensors.
