-
C.
Train Protection & Warning System
Train Protection & Warning System is a British railway safety system designed to automatically stop or slow trains to prevent collisions and signal passed at danger incidents.
-
D.
Positive Train Control
Positive Train Control is an advanced, federally mandated train safety technology designed to automatically prevent collisions, overspeed derailments, and other dangerous train movements.
-
E.
Automatic Warning System
The Automatic Warning System (AWS) is a British railway safety system that alerts train drivers to signal aspects and speed restrictions and automatically applies the brakes if necessary to prevent accidents.
