Automatic train stop or ATS is a system on a train that automatically stops a train if certain situations occur (unresponsive train operator, earthquake, disconnected rail, train running over a stop signal, etc.) to prevent accidents.
Japanese-style ATC cab signalling indicator. Automatic train control (ATC) is a general class of train protection systems for railways that involves a speed control mechanism in response to external inputs. For example, a system could effect an emergency brake application if the driver does not react to a signal at danger.
From the June 2009 collision until 2015, Metrorail operators operated the trains exclusively in manual mode; the ATC system was restored to the Red Line in 2015. [3] The automatic train protection system still limits the maximum speed of every train that is in revenue service. ATO has been restored on the Red Line on December 15, 2024 after 15 ...
ATACS monitor in a JR East 205-3100 series cab. Advanced Train Administration and Communications System (ATACS) is an automatic train control (ATC) system developed by RTRI starting from 1995 [citation needed] and first introduced by JR East on the Senseki Line in 2011.
The 1963 Skopje earthquake (Macedonian: Скопски земјотрес од 1963 година) was a 6.1 moment magnitude earthquake which occurred in Skopje, SR Macedonia (present-day North Macedonia), then part of the SFR Yugoslavia, on July 26, 1963, which killed over 1,070 people, injured between 3,000 [5] and 4,000 [6] and left more than 200,000 people homeless.

Safetran VIU-ACSES Field Encoder monitors wayside status information and sends track signal states through the ground network to locomotives.. The on-board equipment consists of a computer that also stores the route characteristics database, a distance measurement subsystem to track train position, an antenna subsystem for the track mounted balises, and a data radio subsystem for communication ...
Positive train control (PTC) is a family of automatic train protection systems deployed in the United States. [1] Most of the United States' national rail network mileage has a form of PTC. These systems are generally designed to check that trains are moving safely and to stop them when they are not.
The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) was established in 1977 by the United States Congress as part of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977.The original stated purpose for NEHRP was "to reduce the risks of life and property from future Earthquakes in the United States through the establishment and maintenance of an effective earthquake hazards reduction program."
