1. An arrangement for train protection, comprising:
a rail vehicle to be supported on rails of a track, said rail vehicle having a driver's cab and a train protection system forming a first train protection system;
said train protection system being connected, by way of a first gateway, to components of an actuator system and to components of a sensor system;
said actuator system and said sensor system being arranged on said rail vehicle in a vicinity of the rails;
said actuator system and said sensor system having, as respective elements, antennas configured to enable said actuator system and said sensor system to communicate with track-side components of the train protection system;
said first gateway having a mediator functionality for realizing a line-length-independent connection of said actuator system and said sensor system with said train protection system;
wherein said first gateway is configured to simulate an input interface of the train protection system of the rail vehicle for said actuator system and said sensor system;
wherein said first gateway is configured to simulate an input interface of said actuator system and said sensor system for the train protection system; and
said first gateway being used to provide required antenna signals of said actuator system and said sensor system for the train protection system.
