Abstract

A method predicts a switch state and/or a switch time point of a signaling system. The method includes collecting first and second state data, the first and second state data influencing the switch state and/or switch time point. The collection of the first state data includes reading of state data from a signaling system control device of the signaling system by a signaling system interface. The collection of the second state data includes reading in of the state data. A prediction model is provided and configured to make a prediction of the switch time point and/or the switch state of the signaling system based on first and second state data. The switch state and/or the switch time point of the signaling system is predicted via the prediction model using the first and second state data. The predicted switch state and/or switch time point of the signaling system is outputted.
