Method for performing a driving operation of track-bound vehicles in a route network structured into route regions (SB1, SB2, SB3), wherein each of the route regions (SB1, SB2, SB3) is assigned a first route control centre (RBC11, RBC21, RBC31) in each case, wherein at least one additional route control centre is provided, wherein the additional route control centre is assigned to one of the route regions as a second route control centre, wherein the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) assigned to the one route region, in particular with regard to their data-related connections to further route components (OCS, MSC, KMC, EI) that are suitably embodied to perform the driving operation in said one route region, are provided in a redundantly preconfigured manner and wherein, with preconfiguring of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22), on the one hand a data transfer path is preconfigured between at least one of the further route components (OCS, MSC, KMC, EI), which provides at least some of the driving operation information, and a respective one of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) in each case, and on the other hand at least one other data transfer path is preconfigured, which connects the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) in terms of data, characterised in that, with preconfiguring of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22), each of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) is on the one hand allocated one address, in particular an Internet Protocol address, regarding the respective at least one data transfer path, wherein the two addresses are the same, and on the other hand is in each case allocated another address, in particular another Internet Protocol address, regarding the other data transfer path, wherein the two other addresses are different. wherein each of the route regions (SB1, SB2, SB3) is assigned a first route control centre (RBC11, RBC21, RBC31) in each case, wherein at least one additional route control centre is provided, wherein the additional route control centre is assigned to one of the route regions as a second route control centre, wherein the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) assigned to the one route region, in particular with regard to their data-related connections to further route components (OCS, MSC, KMC, EI) that are suitably embodied to perform the driving operation in said one route region, are provided in a redundantly preconfigured manner and wherein, with preconfiguring of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22), on the one hand a data transfer path is preconfigured between at least one of the further route components (OCS, MSC, KMC, EI), which provides at least some of the driving operation information, and a respective one of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) in each case, and on the other hand at least one other data transfer path is preconfigured, which connects the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) in terms of data, characterised in that, with preconfiguring of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22), each of the two route control centres (RBC21, RBC22) is on the one hand allocated one address, in particular an Internet Protocol address, regarding the respective at least one data transfer path, wherein the two addresses are the same, and on the other hand is in each case allocated another address, in particular another Internet Protocol address, regarding the other data transfer path, wherein the two other addresses are different.
