Control device for a gravity shunting yard for rail traffic and method for operating such a yard

摘要

The control device has a sensor unit for collecting measuring data relative to rail-bound vehicles (1,2,3). The sensor unit is an ultrasonic unit, which comprises an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic unit comprises multiple ultrasonic sensors in different heights. The control device is formed for signaling a recognized interface to a central control unit. An independent claim is included for a method for operating a gravity hump yard of a rail-bound transportation.
