This thesis deals with the problem of non-automated train constellation checking and the prediction of wagon breakdowns. First, models were created which theoretically addressed the current problems. For the train constellation, a model was created for the settlement, the target/actual quality assurance and the deduction calculation. In addition, a model for the error prediction of wagons was made. The respective models were successfully implemented, for the automated train formation by means of prototypes and for the error prediction by means of the statistics program R. The result of the thesis is a working prototype of the automated train formation measurement and a prediction for wagon failures, for which the zero hypothesis was not rejected.
