The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for determining a real-time
steering angle (58) of a railway
bogie (1), and a control device (40) configured to perform the method, the method including determining, by a sensor
assembly, at least one lateral real-time sensor
signal (38) indicative of a
lateral position characteristic of at least one wheel
tread of the railway
bogie (1) relative to the railway track, determining, by a positioning
algorithm (47), a real-time position and / or orientation of the railway
bogie (1) relative to the railway track (31) using the received at least one lateral real-time sensor
signal (38), and determining a real-time
steering angle (58) for steering the railway bogie (1) using the determined real-time position and / or orientation of the railway bogie (1).
