ATS mechanical system previously used in the Ginza Line of the Tokyo Metro
The Automatic Train Stop (ATS) is a railway safety system that stops the train automatically in certain situations (lack of driver response, dead end, violation of a signal, etc.) and prevents the occurrence of accidents. In some situations it works like a dead man switch. Technology
ATS systems can be mechanical, where an arm rises over the track to activate a lever in the train that activates the brakes and cuts the power supply. The mechanical systems of the world are generally incompatible with each other. The mechanical systems are not suitable for high speeds, higher than 110 km / h.
ATS systems can also be magnetic or indictive, without contact, and are often incompatible. They can be used at high speeds.
