OPERATING METHOD FOR VEHICLES WITH THE FORMING OR CONFIGURING OF A COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTION AFTER THE COUPLING PROCESS

摘要

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.
