CDU used on Metro-North is integrated with the speedometer indicating the train speed, and the signals indicate the speed limit. The ETCS driver machine interface. The cab display unit (CDU), (also called a driver machine interface (DMI) in the ERTMS standard) is the interface between the train operator and the cab signalling system. Early CDU ...
A train running over the permanent magnet will deliver an AWS warning indication to the train driver. The optional electromagnet can be used to provide the train driver with an AWS clear indication. If the train AWS detects a second magnetic field of a certain polarity after the first permanent magnet, then the AWS displays a clear indication ...
Communications-based train control (CBTC) is a railway signaling system that uses telecommunications between the train and track equipment for traffic management and infrastructure control. CBTC allows a train's position to be known more accurately than with traditional signaling systems. This can make railway traffic management safer and more ...
A simple system used separable train staffs which fit together when intermediate block posts are closed, so that a driver receives the train staff for two or more consecutive sections from the first signalman. An alternative system employs special long-section token systems; when long section working is to be instituted, all the short section ...
Automatic train operation (ATO) is a method of operating trains automatically where the driver is not required or required for supervision at most. [1] Alternatively, ATO can be defined as a subsystem within the automatic train control, which performs any or all of functions like programmed stopping, speed adjusting, door operation, and similar otherwise assigned to the train operator.
Unlike ordinary signals, there may be a series of identical signals installed along the track so that at least one is always visible to the train driver at any time. All signals in the same group display the same indication simultaneously. A 'stop' indication means "stop immediately", even if the train is not at the signal. The signals can also ...
An event-driven process chain (EPC) is a type of flow chart for business process modeling. EPC can be used to configure enterprise resource planning execution, and for business process improvement. It can be used to control an autonomous workflow instance in work sharing.
This is a list of driverless train systems, which are capable of GoA3 and GoA4 (GoA3+) according to the Grade of Automation classifications specified by the standard IEC 62290‐1. These are explained diagrammatically by the UITP.
