Abstract :
A new control system for locomotives and motor coaches which combines the features of the well-known safety or dead-man control with automatic supervision of the vigilance of the engineer is described. It is very effective, and considerably increases the safety of railroad operation. It can be installed on any kind of traction vehicle, and can be combined with other safety and protective devices.
