    摘要: A display device for displaying a graphical representation of information. The display device includes a first interface for receiving the information via a first transfer path, a second interface for receiving the information via a second transfer path. A first sub-display is designed to display a first sub-region of the graphical representation using the information received by the first interface, and a second sub-display is designed to display a second sub-region of the graphical representation using the information received by the second interface. The first and second sub-display form a complete display which is configured to display the graphical representation. The first sub-display and the second sub-display are arranged one behind the other in a viewing direction.

    摘要: Provided is a computer-implemented method for verifying electronic work zone instructions with an on-board system of a train. The method includes receiving at least one electronic work zone instruction message from an employee-in-charge device, generating at least one visual instruction diagram based at least partially on the electronic work zone instruction message, transmitting the at least one visual instruction diagram from the on-board system of the train to the employee-in-charge device, receiving a verification of the at least one visual instruction diagram from the employee-in-charge device, and enforcing at least one work zone instruction parameter of the electronic work zone instruction message by the on-board system of the train in response to receiving the verification. A system and computer program product are also provided.
