1. A method for operating a railway safety system having at least one trackside device while taking into account a measured velocity value recorded when a rail vehicle drives into a switch-on section of the railway safety system, which comprises the steps of:

  • predefining, by the at least one trackside device, a fixed period for forwarding a signal from the trackside device to an associated railway safety system;

    using the measured velocity value measured when the rail vehicle drives into the switch-on section as a basis for checking whether a correction time to the fixed period is to be set according to the measured velocity value; and

    , when the correction time is to be set, adjusting the fixed period according to the correction time to obtain a corrected fixed period;

    subsequently, checking the corrected fixed period to determine whether the set correction time should remain effective as a function of at least one further influencing variable of the rail vehicle that determines a travel time; and

    activating a safeguarding device for a level crossing.
