Abstract

A method for determining an orientation of a rail vehicle in a train assembly - the train assembly (10) comprising a plurality of rail vehicles (1, 11, 12), - wherein said plurality of rail verhicles are linked by a pressurized air line (17), - wherein at least one of the rail vehicles (1, 11, 12) comprises, at a first position, in longitudinal direction (L), a first sensor (2, 13, 15), for detecting a pneumatic signal in the air line (17), and - wherein the at least one rail vehicle (1, 11, 12) comprises, at a second position, in longitudinal direction (L), a second sensor (3, 14, 16), for measuring a pneumatic signal in the air line (17), the method comprising - Sending a pneumatic signal through said air line (17), - Detecting the pneumatic signal at the first sensor (2, 13, 15) and at the second sensor (3, 14, 16), - Determining a signal-time shift between the pneumatic signal at the first sensor (2, 13, 15) and the pneumatic signal at the second sensor (3, 14, 16), - Determining the orientation of the rail vehicle (1, 11, 12) from said signal-time shift.
