Abstract

An ad hoc communication network includes at least one vehicle-side radio device connected to a vehicle, a plurality of track-side radio devices installed on a track of the vehicle, and a monitoring and control unit, which is connected to at least one track-side radio device for communication. The track-side radio devices communicate, without logical connection with other track-side radio devices located within the radio range and with the vehicle-side radio device and forward received data to other track-side radio devices located within the radio range. At least two other track-side radio devices are located in each direction along the track within the radio range of each track-side radio device. The track-side radio devices transfer received data to the closest and to the second closest track-side radio device in at least one direction along the track.
