STOPPING TIME CALCULATION MODULE

A stopping-time calculation module for a vehicle contains a communication device, which enables communication with one or more other vehicles in order to transmit the vehicle's own travel-related data and/or to receive travel-related data of another vehicle or vehicles. An evaluation device is connected to the communication device and is suitable for calculating an extended stopping time that exceeds the stopping time specified by the schedule in the event of a delay for the current stop or a following stop, in particular the next stop, indicated by the travel-related data of a vehicle driving ahead or behind on a common route equipped with stops, and for producing a control signal that indicates the calculated stopping time.
