Abstract:
A device for determining at least one measurement value related to a location and/or one or more movement variables of a track-bound vehicle. The device is configured such that a safety integrity level can be specified for the device. The device additionally ascertains a confidence interval which depends on the respective specified safety integrity level in response to the measurement value or at least one of the measurement values. The device can be used in a flexible manner and at the same time reduces operational constraints due to imprecise measurement values and large confidence intervals connected thereto. There is also described a method for operating such a device.
