Arrangement for monitoring exterior regions of a rail vehicle by a traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) of the rail vehicle, - in which the rail vehicle exhibits a front side (FRONT), a rear side (HECK) and two side regions (SB1, SB2), - in which the front side (FRONT) and rear side (HECK) are arranged opposite one another and oriented substantially at right angles to a first direction of travel (FAHRT) of the rail vehicle, - in which the front side (FRONT) and rear side (HECK) are connected to one another by the two side regions (SB1, SB2), - in which the two side regions (SB1, SB2) are arranged opposite one another and oriented substantially lengthwise relative to the first direction of travel (FAHRT) of the rail vehicle, - in which an engineer's cab (FRST) is arranged in the rail vehicle in the region of the front side (FRONT) of the rail vehicle, - in which in the first direction of travel (FAHRT) of the rail vehicle the engineer's cab (FRST) has an engineer's cab field of vision (FSICHT) that can be surveyed and can be utilized by the traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) in the course of trips in the first direction of travel (FAHRT), in order to move the rail vehicle by sight, characterized - in that a first side region exhibits a first camera system oriented in the first direction of travel (FAHRT), which optically captures an angular range with a branch along the first side region as a first lateral field of vision (SICHT1), - in that a second side region exhibits a second camera system oriented in the first direction of travel (FAHRT), which optically captures an angular range with a branch along the second side region as a second lateral field of vision (SICHT2), and - in that the first camera system and the second camera system are connected to a display device in the engineer's cab (FRST), so that series of images of the lateral fields of vision (SICHT1 SICHT2), created in the first direction of travel (FAHRT) by the first and by the second camera system (KS1, KS2), are represented on the display device for the traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) and can be additionally utilized by the traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) in order to move the rail vehicle by sight. - in which the rail vehicle exhibits a front side (FRONT), a rear side (HECK) and two side regions (SB1, SB2), - in which the front side (FRONT) and rear side (HECK) are arranged opposite one another and oriented substantially at right angles to a first direction of travel (FAHRT) of the rail vehicle, - in which the front side (FRONT) and rear side (HECK) are connected to one another by the two side regions (SB1, SB2), - in which the two side regions (SB1, SB2) are arranged opposite one another and oriented substantially lengthwise relative to the first direction of travel (FAHRT) of the rail vehicle, - in which an engineer's cab (FRST) is arranged in the rail vehicle in the region of the front side (FRONT) of the rail vehicle, - in which in the first direction of travel (FAHRT) of the rail vehicle the engineer's cab (FRST) has an engineer's cab field of vision (FSICHT) that can be surveyed and can be utilized by the traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) in the course of trips in the first direction of travel (FAHRT), in order to move the rail vehicle by sight, characterized - in that a first side region exhibits a first camera system oriented in the first direction of travel (FAHRT), which optically captures an angular range with a branch along the first side region as a first lateral field of vision (SICHT1), - in that a second side region exhibits a second camera system oriented in the first direction of travel (FAHRT), which optically captures an angular range with a branch along the second side region as a second lateral field of vision (SICHT2), and - in that the first camera system and the second camera system are connected to a display device in the engineer's cab (FRST), so that series of images of the lateral fields of vision (SICHT1 SICHT2), created in the first direction of travel (FAHRT) by the first and by the second camera system (KS1, KS2), are represented on the display device for the traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) and can be additionally utilized by the traction-vehicle engineer (TRFF) in order to move the rail vehicle by sight.
