An emergency switch in Japan. On railways, [1] an emergency stop is a full application of the brakes in order to bring a train to a stop as quickly as possible. [2] This occurs either by a manual emergency stop activation, such as a button being pushed on the train to start the emergency stop, or on some trains automatically, when the train has passed a red signal or the driver has failed to ...
Interest in dead man's controls increased with the introduction of electric trams (streetcars in North America) and especially electrified rapid transit trains. The first widespread use came with the introduction of the mass-produced Birney One-Man Safety (tram) Car, though dead-man equipment was fairly rare on US streetcars until the successful PCC streetcar, which had a left-foot-operated ...

[10] EU vehicles might have the emergency stop signal (ESS) and/or rear-end collision alert signal (RECAS) both defined by unece regulation #48 [13] but this signal is optional. [11]
(Most machines will have a red stop button and an emergency stop - the emergency stop stays down when you hit it, and should not be used for normal stopping because the integrity of the latching system is safety critical.) Presumably everyone understands "Stop" so why we introduce the "binary on-off glyph" is a mystery.
The alarm can be used to request emergency assistance from local security, police or emergency services. Some systems can also activate closed-circuit television to record or assess the event. [2] Many panic alarm buttons lock on when pressed, and require a key to reset them.

The FCC set up a phased program: Phase I involved sending the location of the receiving antenna for 911 calls, while Phase II sends the location of the calling telephone. Carriers were allowed to choose to implement 'handset based' location by Global Positioning System ( GPS ) or similar technology in each phone, or 'network based' location by ...
