<p>[quote user="Overmod"]Part of the idea was that the train control assisted vigilant lookout, instead of merely alarming and threatening to 'down brakes' after a signal had already been passed at danger and an unsafe condition existed. There was a steady clicking audible feedback, which to the engineer meant 'all clear'; any action the system took in early stages of an "alert" was advisory, to concentrate attention on specific things about to happen and giving adequate time for a proper professional response.[/quote]</p> <p>I only found what I described above. Your quoted part is new to me. Can you provide a link, please?</p> <p>I think engineers should be glad about a penalty brake application because otherwise in worst case they might die.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
