Abstract

A method and a control device determine a position-related braking ability of a vehicle. A first vehicle determines at least one piece of position-related information of a route section, the at least one piece of position-related information of the route section being information relating to the braking ability on the route section. The first vehicle transmits the at least one piece of position-related information to a receiver, the receiver being at least one second vehicle, whereby the braking curves of at least one rail vehicle are adapted according to the situation, thus allowing safety on the route section and the utilization of the section to be improved.
