Cab signalling

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000896

A railway signaling system that displays signal aspects and other operational information directly inside the locomotive cab, rather than relying solely on lineside signals. This system provides continuous information to the driver, enhancing safety and operational efficiency, particularly in adverse weather conditions or high-speed lines. Cab signaling can include speed restrictions, track occupancy, and approaching signal indications.
