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 ...
Train automatic stopping/stop-position controller (定位置停止装置, Teiichi Teishi Sōchi) (TASC) is the name of a train protection system/automated stopping aid currently used only in Japan. It allows trains equipped with TASC to stop automatically at stations without the need for the train operator to operate the brakes manually ...
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 ...
The 3-D Full-Scale Earthquake Testing Facility [1] or E-Defense (Japanese: E-ディフェンス) is an earthquake shaking table facility in Miki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. [2] Operated by the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), [ 3 ] it was the largest 3D earthquake shake table in the world ...
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.
ATP switchboard in a Taiwan Railways Administration DR2700 series carriage Automatic Train Protection notice on a First Great Western InterCity 125.
