DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH OF ATS-P TYPE SYSTEM

Since 1974, Japanese National Railways has been developing a new type of Automatic Train Stop to eliminate accidents caused by operators failing to respond properly even after acknowledging the warning signal or having insufficient braking distance. The new ATS-P type eliminates the operator's acknowledgement and speed checking and stop-distance functions are correlated to stop any approaching train at a fixed point.
