  1. Automatic Train Protection Systems Brenton Boggs and Matt Werder

  2. Automatic Train Protection refers to implementations of a train protection system installed in some trains in order to help prevent collisions through a driver's failure to observe a signal or speed restriction • Target speed • Audible warnings • Automatic brakes

  3. Accidents Preventable by ATP • 2008- Chatsworth train collision – 25 killed • 2005- Amagasaki rail crash – 107 killed, 555 injured • Texting on the job has now been banned by the California Public Utilities Commission.

  4. Most all train systems use some form of ATP • Future of ATP is driverless • Approximately 15 completely driverless worldwide • 3 currently in North America

  5. Potential Negatives of Full ATP systems • Human Factors • Overriding System • Loss of Concentration • Extended Running Times • Degraded Working
