Abstract: A testing device for monitoring a defined profile of a train of vehicles, in particular rail vehicles, including at least one sensor device which is configured to detect compliance or non-compliance with the profile. The sensor device is configured to detect the train in order to improve monitoring of the clearance profile of the train. A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, in the form of a train including the testing device and a method for checking a defined profile of a train of vehicles, in particular rail vehicles, are also provided.

Abstract: A method is provided for the automated driving of a rail vehicle on tracks equipped with different track-side vehicle protection devices. Information items necessary for the automated driving are transferred at least partially from different on-board or vehicle-side vehicle protection devices to an ATO device, and the rail vehicle is controlled by the ATO device according to the transferred information items. An ATO device, a rail vehicle and a railway-technical installation are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relate to, among other things, a device (5) for a rail vehicle that comprises a control unit (10), which calculates a switch off time using given data and measured values after which the coasting rail vehicle arrives on time at the next stop stipulated by the time-table while adhering to the same. The aim of the invention is to make it possible to reliably detect deviations of the actual travelling characteristics from travelling characteristics recommended by the device. To this end, the invention provides that the device (5) comprises a data input (E5) at which an actual value signal (Si) stating the actual drive switch off time can be input into the device (5), whereby the actual drive switch off time indicates the time at which the drive was actually switched off after the generation of the switch off signal.
