The invention relates to a method for refuelling a vehicle ( 60 ) or an autonomous vehicle ( 60 ). At least one hydrogen tank ( 10 ) accommodating gaseous hydrogen is fitted in the vehicle ( 60 ). The method comprises the following method steps: The vehicle ( 60 ) drives into a refuelling area ( 24 ). A refuelling operation ( 28; 78, 80, 82 ) is performed on the vehicle ( 60 ). Then, the temperature of the contents of the at least hydrogen tank ( 10 ) is checked ( 30 ). If a temperature ( 74 ) of the tank contents of the at least one hydrogen tank ( 10 ) exceeds a temperature limit value ( 32 ), the vehicle ( 60 ) is transferred to a cooling down area ( 36 ). There, the tank temperature ( 44 ) is checked a second time following a cooling down phase. The tank pressure is checked ( 48 ) if the tank temperature ( 74 ) lies below a temperature limit value. If the tank pressure ( 76 ) in the at least one hydrogen tank ( 10 ) is below a tank pressure limit value, the vehicle ( 60 ) is transferred to the refuelling area ( 24 ) to continue refuelling; if the tank pressure ( 76 ) is in the tank pressure limit range, refuelling is halted ( 52 ). |
