A method operates a rail vehicle along a railway line. Accordingly, a trip of the rail vehicle has a travel section along the railway line, which travel section ends before or at a hazard point of the railway line. The rail vehicle, in a protection mode, is braked starting from a first speed during a braking phase at the start of the travel section. During the braking phase, a kinetic quantity of the kinetic energy amount of the rail vehicle is absorbed by an energy absorption unit. The braking phase is followed by an energy dissipation phase, in which part of the absorbed energy is discharged. The travel section is defined such that an energy state parameter representative of a vehicle energy amount, which energy state parameter takes into account the energy amount present in the energy absorption unit, satisfies a condition at the hazard point.
