1. An automated on-vehicle rail vehicle control system, comprising:
an on-vehicle setpoint value specification determination unit;
an automated train operating system;
a driving and braking unit; and
a plurality of sensors for acquiring environmental information;
said on-vehicle setpoint value specification determination unit being configured, based on a high-precision on-vehicle position determination and high-precision map data, and based on dynamic influences identified from environmental information acquired via sensor data from said sensors, to determine operative setpoint value specifications for a regulation mode and a current driving mission of the rail vehicle, in order to move the rail vehicle according to the driving mission and an external environmental situation;
said automated train operating system being configured to generate driving and braking commands based on the setpoint value specifications determined by said on-vehicle setpoint value specification determination unit; and
said driving and braking unit being configured to carry out traction and braking operations based on the driving and braking commands generated by said automated train operating system.
