Infrastructure 07

Another common feature now seen on the UK network is Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS). This is a radio-based safety system that will automatically stop a train under certain circumstances.

 

The system uses an arming loop and a trigger loop and can be set to trigger the train's brake by varying the distance between the two loops.
