Abstract: A method for warning a motor vehicle of a collision with a rail vehicle, in which, using an electronic computing device arranged externally of the vehicle, first movement data of the rail vehicle, which characterize a position and/or a speed of the rail vehicle, are received from a sensor device permanently installed in a rail network and/or are determined as a function of an electronic timetable. A hazardous situation is determined as a function of the first movement data and position data of at least one level crossing, which position data characterize a position of the level crossing. A hazard information signal, which can be called up by the motor vehicle and characterizes the hazardous situation, is provided for the motor vehicle as a function of the hazardous situation.
