A method that can be implemented relatively easily and inexpensively for monitoring a hazard zone of a level crossing, divides a roadway into a first roadway section and a second roadway section. For this purpose, the method is carried out such that by use of a first radio module, first radio signals are emitted in a first detection region containing at least one part of the first roadway section. By use of a second radio module, second radio signals are emitted in a second detection region containing at least one part of the second roadway section. The hazard zone is monitored indirectly using an analysis which is based both on the first emitted radio signals as well as the second emitted radio signals and which relates to the detection regions.

A vehicle control system includes a controller configured to be operably deployed onboard a first propulsion-generating vehicle of a multi-vehicle system, and a wireless communication unit configured to be electrically coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to control the wireless communication unit to wirelessly communicate first vehicle control signals to a second propulsion-generating vehicle of the multi-vehicle system that is immediately adjacent and mechanically coupled to the first propulsion-generating vehicle, while the first propulsion-generating vehicle and the second propulsion-generating vehicle are in a non-cable-connected state. The controller also is configured to control the wireless communication unit to wirelessly communicate different, second vehicle control signals to a third propulsion-generating vehicle of the multi-vehicle system that is separated from the first and second propulsion-generating vehicles by at least one non-propulsion-generating vehicle in the multi-vehicle system.

The invention relates to a multi-station integrated code sending control method, an electronic device and a medium. The method comprises the following steps: 1. supervising, by a train control and interlock integration device, a plurality of adjacent stations; 2. connecting the train control and interlock integration device to a train control center device or a train control and interlock integration device of other adjacent non-integrated stations through a communication interface; 3. dividing all integrated stations into stops, relay stations, lines and non-wiring stations according to station types; and 4. determining low-frequency codes of all stations through cyclic traversal to realize the code sending function. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantage of being high in efficiency.
